Yella mate, , ,you've missed the point ,its not the banter were used to the hairdresser ,not a real off roader , mamby pamby stuff, we just put that down to the old green eyed monster, no we are talking bad language and rants, there is a difference even yourself who likes to have a dig, at least you keep it funny. . .ming
Hey guys, well those of you who read the main forums will be seeing my pictures of the ****s that set my Freelander V6 ES on FIRE 2 nights ago, until then lets be totally honest about the Freelander
1. If you drive all day at 80mph buy a V6 or you will just kill it.
2. It is the best in it's class for off road ability (soft-road class).
3. It will not however touch my Series IIA off road.
4. It does offer imense comfort and easy driving.
5. It is far more refined on road but the trade off is low ground clearance.
6. It has a terrible reputation due k-series engines.
7. It is only available in TD4 now..... What does that tell you (other people can make engines other than Rover)
8. The V6 engine in the Freelander produces nearly the same power as 3.9 V8 Discovery
9. It will go further off road than you think, however no LOW box or Diff Lock.
10. Finally they have been used too much for the school run, too make them look like a "REAL" LAnd Rover.
If you disagree please say so,

i have never proffessed to go offroading and getting my disco covered in mud.it is used for a specific task and with 200,000 yes thats right 200,000 miles on the clock it proves that it does it very well. like ming said, its only a bit of banter but i would like to see a freelander with 200,000 miles on the original engineJerry said:Well now we are getting down to "real landie" owners eh. Must be horrendous off-roading on a runway.

Well done Treev, that write up was the most common sense article I've read on this forum for days.
Thank goodness there are still some genuine Land Rover folk on this site.
Sorry to hear about the V6, but youv'e got the next best thing, drove loads of them during my army days in the 60's.

Dear Vossie, this is the Freelander forum, it only talks about Freelanders, the site has other forums for Discoverys,Range Rovers,Defenders,etc etc.
If you want to comment on other vehicles then you'd be better off looking elsewhere. We all have the vehicles we want, don't see much else on the market. Try an American site.
