Default Help - advice needed!

Having spent 2k getting the Spec D HG failure sorted earlier this year, the wife's Freelander has done it's 2nd HG in 6 months!

I just want shot of the thing immediately - what are my options? Who will give me the best price for a Freelander with HG failure? It still runs but overheats sporadically? 2005 with 60k miles. Thoughts?

If you wonder why I am posting on here it's becasue if I can get a couple of grand for it I am buying her a scoob wagon instead!

Ebay stating the fact it has HG problems, with a reserve of what you want for it.

Someone with mechanical knowledge may snap it up. There are plenty of LR specialists out there.
