    Which 4x4?

    It's a 1.8. Not a bargain at all for that price with that mileage and that engine. Keep looking and keep away from this one. Td4 will say so on the tailgate, so if it doesn't say Td4..................

    Serengeti Badge

    Tread carefully. As the Serengeti a Limited Edition, is it wise to festoon you'r vehicle with these badges.? May seem very trivial but insurance company's will use any excuse not to pay out. They will argue you never declared it was a Limited Edition which "may" have affected you'r premium at...

    Hmmm suspect me thinks...

    Being a 2004 plate, what difference would this make to road tax and insurance. My 2004my Td4 costs me more than my 2001 Td4 on both.Yet why would anyone want to be in a higher tax bracket for an earlier car?

    Freelander 1 > Xtrail > Freelander 2 - reliability?

    My old V6 was bought at 32,000mls with a "reconditioned" engine and a clunky auto box.2 more engines later,LPGsystem, a roll cage, bucket seats and a facelift and it still ran like a bag of spanners even after having the last engine reconditioned aswell. Sold it cheap showing 56,000mls. It's now...

    Hmmm suspect me thinks...

    Saw a pre-face lift 54 plate near Matlock a few years ago.The same day i was having my 2001 face lifted. I wondered how this could be considering they face lifted the Freeby on the 2003 or 03 plate.

    Freelander 1 > Xtrail > Freelander 2 - reliability?

    Any car will have "issues". Regardless of their so called legendary reliability, Toyota suffered a hell of a lot in recent years, but their reputation will always be for reliability, regardless of the high profile recalls. Land Rover has always been berated in the media as making unreliable...

    One Of A Kind

    Check out the commercials for sale on Ebay. Plenty with space ship miles, proving they really can do 200,000 +.Although commercials by there very nature should be meticulously maintained , contributing to their longevity.

    off road freelander.

    Just sold mine to a guy who races motorbikes as he's been navigating recently for Nick Lines in his Freelander . Strange how the Freelander, so berated for being crap off road, now seems to be fast becoming the vehicle of choice for off road racing.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Sold it. Got more or less what I wanted for it. Be sad to see it go but it had to. Just need to finish my Ex Royal Marines Lightweight, sell that,sort my Rally Freelander once and for all and start using that in anger!

    Best Accessory

    Just removing the standard intake pipes and replacing them with larger bore pipes and silicone hoses meant that the massive intercooler could finally do the job it was bought for. The Synergy transformed the way my Freelander drove, but coupled with a massive intercooler now doing it's job, the...

    Best Accessory

    The accessory that gave the biggest improvement ? Without a shadow of doubt has to be the Synergy 2.Without it both my Td4's are slugs.

    Brake overhaul, Britpart, Bearmach or TRW

    Britpart have such a poor reputation. John Craddock has now stopped using them and has changed supplier, only selling what remaining Britpart stock he has left. I bought a Britpart clutch slave cylinder for my Series 3 Lightweight. Got me to the MOT station and back before packing up just as I...
