    I work for myself www.exv-mobile.co.uk The Freelander will be my new works vehicle but the ZR-Express will not be sold just retired from longer journeys & wet days to be just used locally & for shows.

    Just Ordered New Freelander2.

    Will post up pictures when I get it. I plan to do photo's as I did when I got my new MG ZR-Express back in 2005 at the dealer as it arrives before PDi & then obviously when it is handed over! I was going to have the chrome side protection tubes but I saw a Freelander 2 with the steps & they...

    Just Ordered New Freelander2.

    Really have pushed the boat out to buy (finance) this so hope I enjoy it lol. They also gave me an off-road day voucher. Told them not to valet it as I don't want some clown try to polish it & they have agreed to let me wash it on arrival & polish it in the showroom lol!!

    Just Ordered New Freelander2.

    Just put an order in for a new Freelander 2 HSE in Rimini Red with the Storm Grey interior. Added a few extra's as in their standard form are a bit bland so from the factory it is to have privacy glass. Then from the dealer I hope to add the sidesteps, front driving lamp pods, front bumper...

    Freelander reliability .....

    I hope they are wrong as I put a deposit on an HSE yesterday lol. About 20 mins after I left the showroom I was in an outlet shopping centre & there was a guy sitting in his Freelander 2, I asked him what he thaught of it & his reply was absolutely fantastic, love it to bits, had it almost a...

    Newbie With A Question Or Two.

    What I meant was :- As Ford owned Landrover when the Freelander 2 was born some of their styling seems to have carried over onto the looks of the Freelander (not the front) but particually if you look at it from the back is does have the appearance of a Ford = boring hense why it needs some...

    Newbie With A Question Or Two.

    I think that the facelift Mk1 Freelander was a nice looking vehicle as the earlier mobel (that I had) had far too much grey plastic but the Freelander 2 looks too much like a Ford estate car to me which is why if I do buy one then I need to spec it right up to look the part. I would love a...

    Was the Tambora Flame a Special Edition

    Totally Agree!! Rimini Red is very smart & if you add chrome trimmings it really brings the vehicle out.

    Newbie With A Question Or Two.

    Thanks for that. I can't understand why members of the same forum slate other models in the range just because it is the junior model. It's a bit like the MGB owners slating anything that suceeded it = childish! I for one am more of an enthusiast when it comes to cars & though I do not own an...

    Not sure but it has the engine stop facility when you get stuck in traffic etc - the engine shuts off to save fuel!

    Newbie With A Question Or Two.

    The latest Freelander is NOT a BMW unit that was the TD4 in the Mk1. Apparently it has something to to with The French. The Freelander Mk1 - 1.8 was very underpowered but then the car is heavy. I had the same engine in a 1.8 MG ZS & it was very ecconomical & pretty quick. Doesn't seem to be...
