Hello all
The first time I made contact with Landyzone was about two - three months ago, when I started digging information about Mk1 Freelanders and what should be taken into account in case one plans to purchase one.
Well, I got a load of good hints and tips, which saved me a lot of money in the long run for sure.
So, in short: I just purchased my first Land Rover for my wife's use.
It is a Mk1 Freelander, 5D TD4 2004 with manual gearbox. I looked for automatic, but here in Finland they were either overpriced or then totally junk already, requiring extensive repairs. I've had the car for 3 weeks and so far it seems to be a decent buy. It will also stop the streak of Audis I've had in the last years (5 Audis in a row...), although I will still be owning and driving daily one, which I intend to keep still for several years.
Personally I've been always interested in cars and I tend to do the repairs & services by myself as much as possible, but due to lack of a garage and my preference for comfort nowadays I willingly pay a workshop to do the nasty stuff. Such as replacement of the VCU, which I've already got waiting
Pardon for any typos or bad language & funny sentences, which may occur in my English. I'm not a native, so if I may be excused...
