My , VCU and TC , are working a treat thank you very much A TRUE 4X4is your gaylander on 2 wheel drive aswell then ........... just asking
Hello all , after driving a 2 wheel rear drive fiat minibus in the snow and ice on friday gone ,(SCAREY) has made me reailise just how good my freelander drives in these conditions , OUTSTANDING , its not until you drive a lesser motor , than you can apprecaite why it has the green oval badge , a true LAND ROVER no bones about it
Our other car is a Tiguan 4 motion and it is let down by the tyres in the snow, however it sees snow 3 times per year and is otherwise a very sure footed mile muncher. So, wifey says my Freeby is useful for three days per year and her VW is useful for the other 362. Anyhow it's like saying an FL1 is better than a Disco or Defender or Tiguan - it just aint, but it has its charms and abilities
Still can't get mine to slip or slide, no matter how hard i try
it really does do what i wanted it to do

My wife's VW Tiguan 4 Motion has Pirelli Scorpions and it's still nowhere near as good as my Freelander in snow even though it should be as good as it has the optional E diff lock!!
It's better on fuel though
Next we will be saying that we rather have an FL1 than FL2 or a D3 - come on!
I like mine but if I had the time again I would probly have got a Disco tbh, but don't tell anyone
Yeah but Nodge it will cruise all day at 90mph in silence, as you know. We live in the UK not the Alps!!! Lets stop trying to talk up the old Fleeby - it is what it is!
I'm proper bored with mine, but if you guys think its the best car on the planet, well that's fine but the comparisons with modern motors don't stack up. Next we will be saying that we rather have an FL1 than FL2 or a D3 - come on!
My other half is not swapping her Tiguan for an FL1 anytime ever and I don't blame her! Me, I'm almost decided on a TD5. Spect I'll get bored with that some day

As for reliability our Tiguan has been a dog. The build quality is marginal tbh, so bad it makes all 3 of my Freelanders and my MGs seem very reliable!! Something I do love with the Tiguan is the Bose stereo which is simply stunning!!
