hello from Sale , Cheshire :)

Hi , not currently a owner , but am looking to be , by the end of the weekend

First off, im used to the R8X which i sold 3 week ago following being made redundant and just couldn't afford to run the rx8 , no matter how much i liked it ..
2 days after selling the rx8 i was offered another job which starts a week on monday ( not much abseiling work out there at the moment but i found some )
Now my commute will be 30 / 40 mile a a day so been looking at the freelander TD4..

seen quite a few and some in my budget which i suppose is max at £2500 and been looking at 2002 / 2003 models within that price range. Now i do have a friend local who is a mechanic to come view any with as this is truly uncharted territory for me

could any one advise on what i should be looking for ?
any problems to look out for ?
is there any specific items items i should check that has been changed ?
what should i be asking potential sellers ?

any help would be great and look forward to keeping u all updated very soon

thanks

Dave

You'll be fine around here as long as you've got a sense of humour, doubt there's many people about at this time of night, but have search, there'll be plenty of reading for you and no doubt someone will have put together a 'buyers guide', I know there's plenty of them for Fenders, so I assume you'll find some for Gaylanders
