On it's own? Gaylander? It can break down on it's own if you mean that. Or get some parts broken off.

He didnt say it's a good one tho.
And even a gaylander being called a jeep implies it is not.
and i've seen one in action when we all went out laning. the only thing it lacked was ground clearance ( compared to chavved up discos ) in the deep ruts,but skillful driving avoided any memorable situations !

Yep agreed. Bit more ground clearence would be the first thing to add to a standard freelander. The traction control system seem setup to work miricles. With extra ground clearence, it would be a lot more capable.

You should have driven with a friend of mine in a Niva!
I think your statement applies to any car. Bad driver in good car is worse than good driver in bad car (lots worse). In fact, I think a good driver makes the most important part of the car...

Them Niva's are awesome:lol:
yep, you have all the comfort and a better road car with not quite as good off road capabilities.The fender/series are a world apart from the lander as they are trattor work horses . But saying that when I owned a disco all I wanted was a fender.Now I own a series all I want is a slightly longer series and better heaters
....and maybe a more comfy seat

88->109
109->open tailgate (lots of room, just attach floor and some support
)Tip: it's the fan...
I LOVE my Defender seats in the series...more comfy seat

checked the fan and taken out all the old lower dash so have the fan blowing through the heat exchanger into into the 2 tubes to the window vents....just demists the passenger side and demists about 2/3 of the drivers side !
