First time Landy owner - wisdom sought.

AndrewH · Dec 14, 2019

Hi folks, I just bought a high mileage 2001 Freelander TD4 S 3DR to get the dog to and from his muddy runs and the occasional drive to work when the weather's too crappy for cycling.
The vehicle seems in reasonable condition, but any tips as to what to keep an eye on and look out for would be most welcome.
Also, the currently fitted aftermarket radio's not working so I'll be looking to replace that. Any suggestions as to a good DAB/Bluetooth head unit and upgraded speakers?
Thanks

Andrew.

Why do you cycle if you have a LandRover like a big boy?
Next you’ll be saying boat

I cycle to my place of work because I live 400 metres from it. I'm lazy, but not THAT lazy.
Thanks for your wisdom

Hello and welcome

Yes it dont seam a lot of sense driving 400 meters every day you would end up with a flat battery it would never charge enough

have search round the freelander section for a few tips on what to look for

Good luck with the radio, will be plenty of options. Ask the guys n gals in FL section

Cheers RR

I'm off over to the FL section t pester them about a soft nudge bar I've seen locally, and about whether I'll need a DIN adaptor for my new radio

Thank you for your help.
