Hi. I am new to this. I have only owned a Landrover 08 for about 8 weeks & although I love it, it has a few 'strange' issues that have made me late to work and other places a few times. I got the car after much research and seeing a lot of Freelanders in my price bracket and am sold on it. However issues with the tailgate being open - when shut, the sun roof opening on its own, the petrol gage dropping to empty as soon as the needle reaches half way then I can only put £38 worth in, and the sat nav taking me anywhere but where I need to go are spoiling my fun! (That is scary - lucky I had google maps). Any experiences with Sat nav's I would be grateful to know about. I am not given to flights of fancy but I beginning to think the car is possessed!!!

Not the correct place for this. Especially if you're going to spread lies!
You've only arrived yourself so wind your neck in.
If you wish to carry this discussion on, start a new thread in anything Goes
