Hello all.

I was just about to replace a well used V70 with yet another estate car when I had the chance to try out a Freelander TD4 for the day.

I've never even driven a Land Rover before and really liked it. It was much quicker and better handling than I expected and now I'm really tempted.

Decisions, decisions.... I've got about 6 weeks before I need to commit one way or the other. What do you reckon?!

Tigger.
 
Ignore BoB - he's and English retard.

Welcome to loonyzone - I'm near liskeard.

If you want the gaylander, go for it, but have a good look round on here first, so you know what you're in for.
 
Freelander 2 ordered :D
I think people here know way less about fl2's than any landrover . i have owned mine for just 5 years give or take a month . 124,000mls when I got it Very close to 180k atm .
Would have thought you would get more for your td4 money , cheaper road tax too .:).

edit : the fl2 does have a much higher NCAP rating.I hope you can get some advice,when you do have to fix it.

Might do, but as I don't know where you live, I can't say.

What do you drive currently?
I've got 2 fenders - a black 110 and a blue 90.

I've got a near neighbour driving a Defender 110 and 90, so I thought it might have been you, but it turns out it's someone else with a 110 and 90 near Liskeard :rolleyes:

Currently driving a silver V70 for work (totally unremarkable, but a good workhorse) and a white Focus RS for when I'm not at work.

Can't say I'm any the wiser. Then again, I make a habit of ignoring ovlovs and dagenham dustbins.

My black 09 plate 110 has got my business name signwritten on it, so if you see me, give me a wave.

Volvos are cool (had a tuned S70T5- P303XNJ:D

RS has same engine as sounds awsome with a straight pipe.;)

Thanks.

I was a bit unfair on the Volvo, it's got the 185bhp D5 5 cylinder diesel, which is quick and makes a great noise. The RS uses the same basic (albeit petrol) motor and makes some great noises. Recently Dyno tested at 308.2bhp in standard trim, so I'm very happy with that :D

The police pulled me over in Liskeard about 3 months ago; they attempted to pinch me for an illegal exhaust system on the RS - it took me about 15 minutes to convince them that it was the standard factory exhaust :doh: I now carry a brochure in the car with a picture of the standard exhaust system in it!

That diesel is actually a audi 5pot engine.;)

All they can do with the pipe is get you to a MOT re-test......My 20v 5pot quattro has no silencers just 3inch straight through:D:D:cool:
 
MINE.
