Why not move it to the stolen section then we can all laugh at the tratter drivers who have their pride and joys liberated then buy them back in bits from eBay.... Nowt wrong with hippos is there @Hippo and @GrumpyGel there's times I'd considered buying a newer looking td4 but I need the towing capacity

not bitter, just trying to join in a bit of (what I thought to be friendly banter) sorry if I offended you, it won't happen again. Haven't been a member for long but beginning to realise that some of us just can't accept that there is more than one type of Land Rover,shame it gives a bitter taste to what was a great website. Just for the info I also have a disco 2 and I enjoy both cars. Would even consider a defender if I could justify it with the missus.

(Face palm) The children are at it again are they? I thought the left wing nut jobs had hate speech laws brought in to stop all this discrimination??

Yes pal, I need a 3.5t towing capacity as range rovers weigh around 2.1t. I think hippos are either 2.2t or 2.5t max towing capacity

okay, misunderstanding on my part, bitter is a strong word, we are cool. Living in Sweden for the last 25 yrs not so use to conversing in English so much. To embark in friendly banter then use a word such as bitter in such banter I took it literally, my mistake. We are good.

Towing a tratter with a Freelander can cause a lot of damage. Tratter weight is above the recommended safe upper limit for a Freelander but it will do it. Yer need to be careful when towing a tratter as the stress/strain will cause damage. This will vary depending if yer tow from the front or rear.
When towing a tratter with a rope attached to the tratter front bumper yer likely to rip oft the front bumper. If yer tow a tratter by attaching a rope to the rear it's likely the rear cross member will be ripped oft. The chance of this happening can be reduced if yer keep yer Freelander below 1000 rev's. Either way make sure yer stay safe...
... and record it on video for you tube.

Garden? Sounds more like a scrap yard.Technically I currently own two discoverys and a series 2a, one disco is my daily keeper the other is a do-er upper and sell it and the 2a is spread around the house, drive and garden waiting for me to stop playing with discoverys

Disco 2 is the thinking mans tratter. They rust at the same speed as a tratter but they also have a heater that occasionally works on some of them. Hence why tratterers who have gone soft, buy them.Traitor!!
