As marmaduck said rust it a big problem, not to mention condensation falling oft the inside of the roof and running down yer back, and the heater not working being the hottest it will ever get.

May I ask what sort of budget yer got in mind? Frelander 1's are good value fer money. If yer budget will run to £7k+ then yer could go for a Freelander 2 instead.

Well that escalated quickly! Sounds like I'd better invest in an umbrella too!

Yer but no but he said he heard it at a party. Person telling him was **ssed. They sometimes leak water in. Reposition the seal on the tailgate or clear out the sunroof drain fixes this. Mine never broke'd down.
