Lack of door seals and panels that don't fit proper were design features?They didn't need to because the Climate Equalisation Control was sufficient

They were designed that way. Very forwards thinking really. Like the slight ridges in the floors on tratters.
It's to let the juices run out freely when the tratter owners have finished with the sheep.

Many years later they realised door seals are a good thing and fitted them. Further improvements were made when the Freelander was born. Many of these improvements are slowly finding their way into tratters.Naturally! Of course they were!

It's not a lot of use having door seals when your doors fall off at the first sign of damp, which is why Tratters have an inbuilt drainage system to let the water back out againMany years later they realised door seals are a good thing and fitted them.

I filmed ma hippo and his standard door hinges going through a car wash. Ma doors din't fall oft. Don't see any proof of a tratterer going through a car wash. Scared? :boink:It's not a lot of use having door seals when your doors fall off at the first sign of damp, which is why Tratters have an inbuilt drainage system to let the water back out again

Did you stick yer doors on with Gaffer Tape?
With mine, the brushes didn't like the height or something, and got stuck underneath!
Cost them a small fortune in repairs
I was advised not to return
Plus I now have my non-removaable twigs to worry about, as I wouldn't like them damaged!

We don't stick our doors on with anything. It's a myth Freelander doors fall oft when wet by the tratterers so they can devalue our Freelanders so they can buy them cheap when tratter production stops. Tis a myth I tells ya.
The proof is out there . yu noobs know nought

Many years ago a Freelander owner on ere washed his Freelander. He left the rear passenger door open after washing round the door frame. He forgot he left the door open and reversed oft his drive and knocked the door on a bollard. It was then mistakenly said the doors fall oft when wet.
there was also a recent issue when someone opened their Freelander door and another vehicle drove past and knocked if oft.
Neither of these events caused door truble due to water. The trouble was caused by knocking them with something other than water, like a bollard or another car.
