I have just purchased my first Freelander, so I am new to the LR community. After posting a thread about obtaining accessories for the vehicle one of the senior members had a bit of a taunt about Freelanders.
Is it a general view of other LR model owners that Freelanders are the "soft relations/puffy" of the LR family. Or is this just a childish opinion of a few????

Regards.:confused:

look around the forum - read a few of the threads. Yes, peeps take the ****, but there is a huge amount of info here. It is a friendly, place to meet and chat, where we dont take ourselves too seriously (except Paula). Just look at the Gaylanders arms or Mings wine bar. If you want a boring, staid forum that has to keep on topic, then this isnt the place for you. Wait till you meet Slob and Minge - now there is an experience.


oh - and yes, Gaylanders, Hippoos, Freebies etc, are the constant source of amusement and derision, because Tratta owners (you will understand soon), cant believe that someone else has bought such a pile of crap (and yes - I did have one).

If its a 1.8 its cack. Just keep checking coolant levels. I had one I speak from valuable experience. Ask around they are costly to repair. I have 2 Landies one a RR which is possibly worse for fixin then a freelander.
 
Appologies. See where you are coming from now. Just a bit of harmless banter.

I have got the TD4 2001 model Freelander. Are they considered ok ?

Regards.:)

Its alright the banter on here teks some getting used too.

I have no experience with TD4 but from what I have heard they are the best of the Freelander range:D
 
Like the old series LR's. Have you restored the 1978. Posted any pics of it on this site? Don't know much about RR's.:D
 
I have only had the series about a month. Working on getting it ready fur green laning.

the TD4 is the best of the bunch - but still suffers from most of the Hippoo faults except HGF.

Ha ha ha ha - welcome to the world of the non-running Dibnah!:rolleyes:
 
Are there maps available showing green lanes allowing the use of 4x4's in the uk??:eek:

Dibnah??? Explain??
 
ordnance survey maps do - just look for the green crosses. - oh and check with ya local council.

The Dibnah - as distinct from an ordinary dibnah? - its a long story - just do a search for a truck for MHM - and enjoy:D

it mite make yu feel betta about the ragging yu have had ;)
 
See what you mean. Reminds me of a customised TATA I once saw at a Max Power cruise in Weston-Super-Maaaaare.
It was owned by a trainee dental hygenist. :rolleyes:
PS. Do you think there is a forum site for TATA owners?:D
