Spotted outside the George Hotel on 31/12/2009 about 3-30pm, was there for a couple of hours.

Must have missed you by a short margin as I had my Freelander parked in virtually the same spot up until about 2pm.

Up to enjoy the firework display for Hogmany

Happy New Year

Ah ha,

          Twas me!

Actually it was me, Catherine (wife), George (Dad), Kez (Rough Collie), Harry (ShihTzu), and Suzie (Norfolk Terrier)!

We were there for the Hogmanay street party and to get away from home for a break... Only there for one night and stayed in the Marriott out by what was RAF Turnhouse (the airport).

We had a great time except the EPB locked on and we had to call LR Assist! Fixed within an hour so all was well.

Cheers, Vic

dont forget that there is an emergency park brake removal option - should be in the hand book - remove trim from center console and pull wire beneath....

Hi Alan,

I forgot to put the handbook back in the car late last year and couldn't remember where the release for the EPB was! As it turns out it needed several pulls of the release and rocking the vehicle to release the brake. It was serviced 3 weeks later and now works fine EXCEPT that the rear brakes do not release 100% until after 100 yards of light squeaking... Back to the workshop again!

Sorry to here about your mechanical problems. You missed the real fun in the snow a couple of days later. The route s around the airport were particulary good fun
