    Freelander 2 (LR2) New lad.

    Had mine for 6 years . Now done 120,000 miles and it has never let me down. When I first bought I got it serviced straight away and changed all the oils including the Hadex.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Android head units. What is your experience?

    I have the Xtrons unit. After initial problems (me, not the unit) I am very pleased with it. Especially being able to use Google maps.

    Replacing sat nav

    I have a 2012 pre face lift and many of us have fitted the Xtrons unit. This gives you all android apps plus you can wire up a reversing camera. Mine doesn't dim but I believe that needs to be connected to the lights on instalation. But it's great to have Google maps/Waze and the ability to...

    Squeaky clutch pedal

    I had same problem both when pressing down and releasing. Then it started to sound like a barn door opening when the hinges hadn't been oiled. My mechanic changed the clutch peddle and now it is lovely and quiet.

    The new defender!

    I actually like it. However, it's not a practical vehicle for Africa or any other third world country. Charities that buy those vehicles need basic, minimum electrics in their machines. Mainly cos this keeps costs down and are usually fixable by the roadside. I cannot see this being the same...

    Roof tent

    Update on the tent. The better half and me went for a night away and it was the dogs bollocks. Standard roof bars held up with the 2 of us snug inside.

    And the tent is on and up

    And the tent is on and up

    Takes about 30 minutes to lift and bolt onto the roof bars. Then remove the protective cover, grab the ladders and pull. Hey presto the tent is up.
