There are two freelanders at Harry Bucklands in Gloucester if anyone is interested, one is a V6, the other is a petrol. It is a remove it yourself scrapyard and dirt cheap.

I have had a go in two more in the last two days, a TD4 5 door an a XDi 5 door. These ones had much nicer brakes and they just feel right to me. The TD4 had the usual VCU issues & odd tyres (which I replaced with 'sunnys' :lol:) and it had a lake in the tool storage bit in the boot. The windows...

Cheers, that is helpful, I think it will depend on the mileage of the vehicle to be honest. I want to pollybush everything anyway as they last forever pretty much. By the way, different subject but are Britpart to be avoided? I have read many things on the internet about them to be bad? I use...

That would be a good project but it has no HDC, I want HDC to be honest & I want a 3 door hardback preferably. I think September or maybe before I will have the money for one!

I see, I can't expect it to handle like my 25 to be honest as it is impossible, its worth it I would think! Ahh I am on that site too...same username as on here.

Thank you for explaining the company & the products, interesting history too! Well that sounds ok, I have just read online that they wallow about but you can't believe everything Journos say can you? A bit of comfort would be nice from my rock hard ride 25, hence why it will become 'the fun...

Ahh I see haha, that's good to hear then but I suspect like you a FL will feel like a boat :lol:. You on mgrover.org considering you own a ZS?

Does they stiffen it up then? Oh hahaha I see sorry for being stupid, are those uprated dampers then or OEM?

To the first post. Thank you for the warm welcome & that link was brilliant thanks. I have heard horror stories with these cars but I did with my car so it doesn't bother me. I don't really plan any off-roading but I want good tyres for all year especially for the winter. I hope to find one with...

I guess Munroes are tyres? Sorry I only know brands like Toyo etc :lol:. Is the sport no good then? I would just like a slightly firmer ride to reduce a bit of roll which I suspect Freelanders have.

I have posted a reply twice but it has not shown up?

Hi there, when I say a flood it is a flood to my 25 as its low, over the bonnet once but not too deep for a FL I suspect. I don't mean a really deep flood. I don't really want a Disco or Defender yet, bit big for me & running costs I would think are high? I driven our Disco MK1 3 door at work...

Hi I am new here so please be nice :lol:. I am seriously considering a FL1 XDi 3 door later this year for a work vehicle. I am an apprentice mechanic and where I work is 12 miles away from home and is in the middle of nowhere, it is a pain when it snows or we get rain as it floods and snow gets...

Hello I am Steven from Worcester and a Land Rover enthusiast, my mums BF also builds prototypes at Solihull! I am also thinking of getting a Freelander XDi for a work car. I have a Rover 25 1.4 but I have put suspension from a MG ZR so being so low is annoying when I hit floods & I get blinded...
