Hi From Dorset

Hi I am Norman and so far I do not have a landrover yet as I am in the throws of looking for one. I am a bit confused to say the least as which way to turn. I started looking at a Freelander, bought the magazines but ended up re visiting the series adverts. I went and had a look at a couple of series 3 swb and they were really interesting new chassis etc but then I thought of the wife (she wont believe that) no power steering etc so had a re think. I went through the faults pages for the Freelander and there was so many problems that as a reliable form of transport which it would have to be it appeared to sadly lacking so were to from here:doh:. I ride a BMW gs every day to work so it will only get used at the weekends and holidays as I would like to get involved in a bit of of roading maybe here or on the continent. I have done a bit in Oz when we went to the Northern near Darwin in a big Toyota now that was realy off road.

So were do I go from here? any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi there mate ,,
glad to see you done your homework on the freelander !!
what about a discovery as a very useable everyday landy aswell as being very good off road , keep your eye open for the s.l.u.t.s !! we regularly organise days out green laneing if you want to put your new landy through its paces !!

Don't buy a Gaylander!!! they are only good for burning!

:welcome2: to the asylum!

There are lots of mid-90s Discoverys about at the moment and they are very modifiable as well. If you want to get into off-roading then there is less work in modding a Disco compared to a FreeLander.

Oh and welcome to the 'Zone

Welcome to LZ!
Ger a 90 - they are reliable as anything, go anywhere, have PAS for doris and are in a class of their own! By far the best buy you could make.

Ferk arf emmett wiv a load a arsse for a vehicle.
