Re: Seeking a 4WD in Wellington.

There is a White LR 110 2 door hardtop parked down by Burnham Wharf in Miramar that I keep meaning to stop and take a few photo's of, looks tidy enough (as I drive by), no idea of price/year/motor though.

It's not on TM (unless its advertised as outside of Wgtn)

I have tracked down the noise to the TC/ Shaft so I'm not so concerned now. Time to drive and enjoy

Apparently I'm the only person that can hear the noise anyway, it's there but nobody else thinks it's out of place.
