Tell me how many Troopers do you see from the early 80s or 90s ? Answer none they have all rotted away ! Daughter had one the chassis rotted instantly, gearbox fell out when mountings tore off the cardboard chassis, only good things are the engines that's why I've got one in my Landy. Add all the other things like b****er all articulation and the cost of parts when they do go wrong !! Ask Mr Burgins about the masterpiece 16 valve engine that self exploded after a few miles.

the point I was making was even though the freelander has a a whole list of known faults I accepted this to be the case and still exchanged my hard earned cash for one. I know it has limitations as to its off road capabilities but still I bought one . But I feel trooper is being blinkered as what his vehicle can do and as to the fact that it too has a number of known problems even though its a jap made vehicle and as such is normally considered to be more reliable than european vehicles. I have not set out to diss any forum member or their vehicle I was just defending a vehicle I happen to own and still like bespite the problem other owners have experienced (so far I have only had minor niggles broken wires and flat battery lets hope it stays that way) .
