Hi guys brand new to the forum and brand new to off-roading. Previously been into enduro riding, however a friend came off and will not be riding again so we are going to buy some land rovers and do some off roading. It will be used as my daily....

I have two options a freelander td4 or a discovery 300tdi, I have two young kids and a caravan so both will be suitable there

1. Are lift kits bash/sump guards easily available for a freelander?
2. What are the common problems with both of them I'm looking at 04/05 freelander or a 003/04 discovery?
4. How reliable are the td4 engines ? I will be doing light off-roading mainly Greenlane with some more harder stuff now and again.
5. What's the fuel consumption difference between the two?
6. What should I look out for when going to buy one? It will preferably be a standard example for me to kit out like I wish.
7. How would you rate a freelander for off-roading?
8. What height would you recommend I lift it buy and with what tyres and would a small lift affect my towing of a caravan?

Will be purchased shortly so I will appreciate and take on board all of your opinions views personal experiences with the vehicles in question

if you spend an hour or so reading the forum then you will know the answer to this and pick up some tips. welcome :)
 
an 03 or 04 disco will be a discovery 2 ,but either disco 1 or 2 would suit you better than a freelander ,just check d1 for body rust and d2 for chassis rust
