ok, so i've started my search for a Freelander 2, however, I keep seeing the Disco pop into the listings and they're equally a nice looking machine. My criteria: I'd like auto - had my left hip replaced and a manual just becomes painful after a while I'd like an HSE spec ideally, I like the...

yeah they have two sides of the business - one for nice stuff, one for not so nice stuff. This falls into the latter category. No bother though, I hoped the bits that needed doing were worthwhile upgrades anyway but not the case. Can of worms. I'll keep looking.

very true. Did seem odd to just bin off the Diff rather than keep it for refurb Was just looking at that now. Points taken. On to the next one

Option number 2

yeah point taken on there. My main issue is there's nothing else around I can go take a look at, so I'd be buying and having it delivered unseen. I'd be expecting to chuck another £1000 at it to bring it somewhat back to life, but you're right, that £1,000 could easily become 2.

Hi all, so i've got my heart set on a Freelander 2. I'd like an auto - and ideally an HSE spec. 2007 Black Land Rover Freelander 2 2.2 TD4 HSE SUV 5dr Diesel Auto 4WD Euro 4 (160 ps) for sale for £2,495 in Norwich, Norfolk (autotrader.co.uk) this one is local to me, however it does have...

Hi all, seems I joined here nigh on ten years ago, when I had less fat, more hair and dreams..... shame that guys gone, he was ok... anyway, i'm back! and still hankering for my first landy. Life has moved on since my first post, i've a family and all that jazz and i'm hoping landy ownership...

:lol::lol: oooooohhhh shinies :eek::eek: yup definately an attraction! yea as I said i'm happy to get my hands dirty but I do need to be practical and there is a definate problem with space to do that....although the guy over the road has two defenders so maybe I could enlist a helper :lol...

Good advice, well the garage isn't visable from the road either it's behind the house so no bother there plus it sounds like cake and chips would probably be the going rate for a driveway and experienced hand :lol: thing is my drive to work is slow...lame...boring...and well it's going to...

yeah that's the concern really, I mean I don't mind paying for repairs etc but who actively looks to spend money when you don't have to :lol: maybe i'm barking up the wrong tree with a landy I don't have a driveway as I live in the city and whilst i do have a garage it's a bit of a pig to work...

lol this is true but I prefer to get an experienced opinion before jumping in and spending money on something that's not going to fit the bill

bollocks....so disco is more appropriate then for the £2k mark?? ideally 300tdi I assume

Not against a disco just the rangie looks soo much nicer and more than likely much more comfortable to drive but then again i've only ever been in a newer rangie and an old disco so not really a great comparison. As to gaining more mechanical knowledge i'm definately not against learning but...

oooh i'm definately in the right place!! chips as currency is genious!! Location is norwich but this one's located Easton so yes chips can certainly be provided....even some fish to accompany it if there's an offer of ongoing support :lol:
