strange knocking sound on the forum, every time someone says they are thinking of getting a freelander...........
gaylander doozles r good motors ,best orft roaders int class ,best on road ,best mpg ,best lookin, dunt buy er slitty . . . . . .spit!!!!!Ive said it once and ill say it again,BUY BRITISH.I think hippos r ok.Mine is a td4 and has done 152000 miles with very little problem.It has a roverron gismo fitted so isnt to bad on the motor way and doesnt drink to much either.Any motor is going to cost u a £ or two,if your lucky u will get a good one, if not dig deep in those pockets.No 4x4 is cheap to keep on the road but u pays your money and takes your choice.
whilst the freelander packs it in at 72mph.
porky had 110 outa are gaylander, no problem. . . . .which freelander is it ?
My Td4 Auto will quite happily cruise at 85-90 (tom tom speed, not speedo, so pretty accurate). Don't generally drive at those speeds, as I have a fair bit of mechanical sympathy, most of my cars get fairly gentle treatment. 3000 revs is the upper limit for cruising I think. But I would be concerned at only being able to do 72mph.
(not trying to be smug, just trying to help)
EZE ALL FURRY UN FINGS [UN GOT ER WET NOSE]. . . .how did it feel ?
Thanks for that, but the CR-V will at least do 75 without problem. I have just changed a Daihatsu 4 track to buy this Freelander and I must say that the freelander is far more comfortable, but the 4 track would do 80 without missing a beat, whilst the freelander packs it in at 72mph. Up to that speed the freelander is all I could ask for and I am very pleased with it, but why does it caffle out when the going gets tough?
