Default Freelander Faults poll

just an in-house poll on the most common Freelander 1 problems,

Please vote and try to explain any of your FL faults and problems in a post below.

Please try to keep the problem to a fault or premature failure rather than wear and tear.

Thanks

I only got 10 poll options, I did think about generically grouping the diesels engines as well, sure we can start another poll to refine the survey

The Misc/other option should cover the cracked chassis etc

its just the more specific the fault - the better the results can be interpreted. Byut yu obviously cant make a poll cover every known fault.

Its just a guide, if we see a particular option storming ahead then another poll can be started
