So about 2 months ago I introduced myself on here, having bought a Black 2003 V6 FL1. I did it all wrong. Bought the car figuring "how bad can it be" with no SH, high mileage and no idea on its overall state. and then did a load of reading. And then realised how bad it could be. I fixed some things but a compression test answered the misfire on the ECU and I figured things were bad. Had decided it was time to think about something else, but the problem was I loved the concept and everything about the FL1.
Then randomly encountered a... Black 2004 V6 FL1. Low mileage(40k), near perfect SH, 4 matching tyres! This time I road tested it properly, did the reversing test on the VCU etc. all seems good. No lights on the dash. The only problems that I am aware of are the rear passenger window regulator is gone so it's wedged about half way open and the sunroof is making the telltale sounds of being on the way out. Other than that, it seems in great order. No fishbowl!
Decided to go for it. Managed to PX the old one against it and so after everything I t's cost me around 2.5k which I think (hope?) is pretty good. So yes, I am now a two time freelander owner!
