    Cheers Jackie, it's a Disco. Unfortunatly DH is not mechanically minded so can't do it himself. The parts may be cheapish but it will cost to get it sorted. I also suspect there are one or two other issues with it. Woukld love to have the website details if possible, thanks.
    We need something that will fit 5 of us comfortably and will tow quite happily so what ever we get next will have to be biggish.

    DH and his family are Glaswegian and last year we spent most of the summer holiday camped out and Strathclyde Park in our trailer tent :D The brood loved it, we hope to do something similar next year.

    Butterfly, hope you can get your tooth sorted.

    Lol I have just been persuaded by DS1 to take him and the dog to Strathclyde park for a wander this morning once DS2 goes to his friends. We love it there. I am on the hunt for that website now. For some reason its no longer in my favourites, I will need to check my email account I think.

    found it

    I would also check the Landyzone here someone may be able to give you advice, I found it invaluable.

    It's a lovely place. The brood had great fun exploring and we all love Glasgow. Though the Falkirk Wheel was a huge success as well.

    Morning my lovelies :D

    Sun has got his hat on hip hip hip hooray :j
    Brrrr is cold in the shadows though LOL

    Not much going on at Chez Bitsy. Back still knackered after cleaning outdoor toys yesterday so will be taking it easy, why is everything that needs doing requires a forward bend which just aggravates it :mad: Have done some cobra moves to counteract it but it needs time to settle down.
    Not sure what's for tea yet, need to check that out.
    Will be doing admin this afternoon (oh joy), need to bake some twinks and the grass desperately needs cutting :eek:

    Hugs and spoons all round. Have a good day OS or not.

    JackieG - My H has gone on about getting a Freelander :( Called me a Landy snob (and I am ;)) but no way I am getting one of those, I'd rather go back to a Disco :rotfl:

    Tiger - What sort of towing do you do? We've got a Mondeo Estate. OK it's not the most attractive car in the world but it can tow, they're cheap as chips and so far I've found it pretty reliable.

    Morning all!
    Cant make my mind up what the weather's going to do today, dull at the moment. Have had a tidy up, contemplating the ironing mountain-do I tackle it first, or go to the shops first? Tough choice, dont like shopping either! Have a good day, hugs where needed!
    RIP Iain

    I think it will be nice Jools, the birds are tweeting like mad outside my kitchen. I have chased off the magpie which was trying to nest in my hanging basket, but he/she keeps coming back, I have taken the basket down, but it hasn't deterred the darned thing :rotfl:
