Only thing worse than turning the key and flogging right away, is flogging it to death then just turning the car off!
Thanks SgtBourne, I used to own a TD5 Land Rover Discovery and that was also the advice I was given when arriving home after giving it some. I'll bear that in mind also.

Update on dealers: Spoke to a couple of dealers today and one has a new 2010 white XR5 he can do for $34500. Another has a silver for around the same price. My question to you guys is; as we are nearing the end of financial year, am I likely to see a better deal than $34500 closer to June 30th if i wait a little longer?

Thank again, Mick
