Crossing water can be dangerous. 1 cubic meter of water weighs 1 ton. It can be fun, but it can be dangerous too if the water is too deep or it's flowing force is enough to push a vehicle sideways.

My Defender has far more manners than to do that.
A couple of my horses might, but you expect better behaviour from a car

Water - in a Freelander - don't the doors fall off
Doors don't fall. Besides you're only jealous cos tratters have more holes than a sieve

Yep. Water drips in and water drips out.Doors don't fall. Besides you're only jealous cos tratters have more holes than a sieve
ound: Don't know why they put up with it. Praps they don't know vehicles can be built properly. Every time I see a tratter on the road I turn the heating to cold and tip water down me back as a mark of respect.

Lets the water back out!
Can't believe you guys are still trying to sell us the freelander.
If you like them so much go pop some 80's pop on in your fancy CD players and go for a drive in it round town
You spend all this time saying landrover a are equal then bang on about freelanders being better. So what, it's got four wheels, an engine, brakes and aircon. Fabulous darlings. My old Pajero had all that and it was ancient. Horses for courses!
We all like our defenders. I do 60mile round trip in mine everyday it does just fine. Some people like basic others like gypsy caravans. At the end of the day it's a functional item whatever badge it has on it!!!

Yes it got a response, but its soooo daft the argument put forward is as flawed as the fox hunting one was.
In one breath you say all landrover a are equal!
In the same breath you say yours are better because they've got 'this suspension. Those brakes, and air con'
It's a blathering car, it's just personal choice.
It's no better or worse than the next gypsy caravan, but yes it has a better go at off road which is more than can be said of the other 4wd's in its category. But really it's a family saloon with useful capabilities and more comfort.
The defender is what it is a utilitarian vehicle unless Alive tuning have got hold of it the it becomes a 'refined' (their words) gypsy caravan too.

i've never said a freelander was better than a tractor. I merely highlight the pros and cons of each marque.

Erf you be nitpicking you personally may not have said it but the general consensus of the freelander owner has been to try sell the all singing all dancing gypsy caravan to the owners of a utility vehicle.........it's a little like land rover trying to create/replace the defender with summit else.
Even the bleddy puma has to much phaffage inside......and no air vents.....I always wanted vents! Some of us genuinely love basic functionality

We're happy to talk amongst ourselves but also welcome the tratterers to join us too. This fred didn't really start with a purpose but gained one as momentum followed. Promoting Freelandering to those who choose to abuse us. We have many things in common. We spend a lot of time fixing our vehicles, they're all made by land rover, we all like our own vehicles and take part in the 4x4 community.

Then be comfortable with your cars and stop foisting them on the tractor lovers of this world, we're good as we are.
And read the whole thread? Bollox to that it probably says the same on pg1 as it does now
Be comfortable in your cars........go get muddy of summit

If you were to buy a puma tratter then I think you'd be able to easily cut out some vents in the front. All it needs is one person to try it and tell theirs how to do it. It may be difficult to position adjustable flaps and mount them but someone will become interested and make you a modification kit so you can do the job easier. May not fit proper and will probably be difficult to stop leaks but that just means the mod will adhere to the usual traits of a tratter.Erf you be nitpicking you personally may not have said it but the general consensus of the freelander owner has been to try sell the all singing all dancing gypsy caravan to the owners of a utility vehicle.........it's a little like land rover trying to create/replace the defender with summit else.
