Hello there,

My wife and I just bought a Freelander2 TD4 SE yesterday, I've always coveted a Land Rover (ideally a Defender 110) - we weren't in the market for a new car, the lady who drive into and wrote off my wife's SEAT had other ideas!

So here we are at the foot of the mountain of Land Rover ownership, I drive a MINI and love my forum, I hope this is the same sort of place to learn, share and natter endlessly about our mutual passion!

I'm sure there'll be lots of questions in the future - my first is arm rests, has anyone retro fitted one - any recommendations, suggestions warmly welcomed!

Photos to follow - pick up tomorrow

Lee

Welcome!

The forum here is great. Everyone is a character and if you dont take things too personally youll be fine. Oh and dont talk bull**** because that doesnt go down well either (although it is quite funny)!

Wealth of knowledge to be had on here! Enjoy yourself

Thanks for the warm welcome - I am properly forum trained so I'll be on my best behaviour! meet ups are my fave part of car ownership, we'd love to come along (provided it doesn't clash with any MINI meets !)

You don't need to be forum trained here...


House trained is close enough

I'd love to come along, however, that's the same as the MINI L2B and I'm afraid I'm already signed up for that jamboree!

I do love a meet so I will make an effort to attend future gatherings

So we picked up the LR this afternoon, looks like it might need a new LCD display as there are some dead pixels square in the middle :/

Otherwise it was a brilliant drive back, great smooth car, very comfy, lots of bells & whistles and a nice high vantage point

Our driveway currently looks ace - two of my fave car marques parked shoulder to shoulder (well the MINI comes up to the LRs ankles!)

Can't wait to give it a thorough clean & polish tomorrow
