    Freelander 2 (LR2) Spotlights

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Just bought one

    I've bought a 2012, 2.2 diesel with manual 6 speed box with the colour being indus silver. Impressed with the automatic lights and wipers but i fear I may have bought one with a duff sat nav as it took me to my destination the way I normally go! Is it faulty? lol

    Disco 2 Chassis

    Just found out that I have the rust gremlins on my chassis. The cost of putting on a galvanised chassis on doesn't seem to make financial sense on a 15 year old vehicle. Does anyone know of someone that makes bog standard steel ones which maybe cheaper? TIA

    Love my new roof tent

    It can withstand wind speeds of 70mph. Not that I'd like to be in it. As for low bridges and branches I'll try to avoid them .lol

    Discovery Td5 issue

    Depends on how long you keep finger on the lock button.They go off after 30 seconds or so. Mainly for winter or dark days where it shows you where your going. I like it and use it often as my driveway doesn't have a light.
