Freelander 2 Crash Mode

It would be funny if they only did it to wind up the LZ regulars but it's even funnier cause they do it in complete ignorance.
Take a look at this Gumtree ad from Belfast. I counted three times he calls a Range Rover Vogue a Jeep.

And this is pretty typical.

Thanks TD4Van I hopefully have a guy testing it tomorrow. I will update 'when' its fixed. The 'nor' error has me baffled. Rang local Land Rover garage and they had never heard of it!!

Good reason to keep away from them then ! ( good customer relations too

)

lol

I love that "EVERY CONCEIVABLE EXTRA" claim as well - I'm sure that is impossible for any car as some extras mean you can't have others.

My absolute pet hate though in LR adds is the old BMW motor chestnut. This one states "BULLET PROOF BMW ENGINE", and TBH I don't know anything about the BMW units in RR - but I would ignore that statement because I'm so used to seeing it in Freelander adverts and its pants!

Take this one for a 2004 TD4....

It waffles with s**t saying "highly superior bmw turbo diesel engine" - makes my blood boil

In fact it shows you how much the seller knows because the full statement is "with the new for this year highly superior bmw turbo diesel engine".

Exactly.
In the same way that Land Rovers are better than Jeeps.

It's good to know that Landrovers are better than the vehicle they were copied off. Shows progress that does.

People seem to assume that because it is German made by BMW it's better. If only they knew how reliable the BMW engine really is they wouldn't spout that kind of crap.

It's actually a good price and nice looking RR.
It's a shame the seller doesn't know if he's selling an L322 or Jeep though

As for the bullet proof BMW engine. That's the only reason I can think of not to buy it. That and the rest of the unreliable BMW derived drive train.

'Freelander' is thankfully back on the road. Wiring needed repairing, software updates on BCM, ECM, IPC and SRS module (which wasn't working). All sorted so thanks for your help and advice. Geoff
