I didn't mean shaving your palms!

I'm tired of this nonsense and I neither have the time or the medical expertise to diagnose your obvious mental afflictions. I'll just leave it at that as someone once told me that I shouldn't get angry with the sick, that I should instead pity them. You have my condolences. Goodnight!

For someone with almost 30,000 posts I must say that I'm somewhat surprised that you'd be the one to bring forth the "gay" name calling. Maybe someday once you're old enough to shave someone will explain the meaning of it to you in terms that you can comprehend.

..and if it helps you to elevate your own self esteem by making stupid comments, please continue.

Utter nonsense!

What are you getting at me for? I don't see you springing to action when I as a new member ask a simple question on a Freelander forum and get responses from owners of other vehicles telling me to "burn it" or worse. If nothing else at least let's at least be consistent shall we..? Andy.

Hi Hippo... I watched the video. It's interesting that so many of the so called "superior" vehicles seemed to struggle somewhat yet you were able to run through it with what appeared to be relative ease in a Freelander (V6, auto if I'm not mistaken) ;-) Andy.

I don't regret it however if we don't get any snow soon grrrrrr!!!

With mine the a/c doesn't work. I knew this when I bought it and being the type of person that never uses a/c anyway it wasn't much of a consideration for me. I do know however that when the a/c is turned on, that the compressor does kick in and produce extra load on the engine. You can probably...

Hi all, I have had my V6 for about a month now and all has been well except for initially I'd notice if I had been driving for a while and then started idling that there'd be a slight "sound". I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It appeared to be coming from under the driver's side bonnet...

Hi, I remember when we had a Rover 75, one way to test the cooling fan was to switch on the a/c because even if cold, with the a/c switched on, it caused the cooling fan to come on. Is this the same with the Freelander V6? 109 degrees before the fan kicks in does seem a little hot - I wonder...

I recently bought a Freelander V6, 2002 reg. It is true that there is a significant difference in the fuel economy over the diesel (I average 24mpg) however when I weighed it up based on fuel I opted for the V6 because it costed me £1,500 less than the diesel and if I keep it for a couple of...

They use the strangest sounding diesel engines I've ever heard *grin*

I feel your pain (managed an average of 24mpg from my first fill) but I like to consider the total cost as I find this the most accurate measure of the real cost... I travel around 6 - 7,000 miles per year and paid £1,050 for my 2002 V6. It has had lots of cash spent on it in the past and the...

Hi, I have owned a Roadster and whilst Freelanders are far from perfect, I found the Roadster to be one of the most fragile cars that I have ever owned. I won't go into detail here but as you have one you'll no doubt be familiar with the weird semi auto type gearbox, clutch adjustment and...

I don't think so.

Hmmmm.... This is an example of why in another thread I posted asking whether the forum is moderated or not. Andy.

Hmmm.... The one in mine is bright orange - Is that the "red" that has been spoken of? Andy.

Hi, Is it still running hot? I think if it was me, although I wouldn't want to spend the cash I'd be thinking of getting it diagnosed because misfiring can be caused by so many different things. Sorry not to be the bearer of good news. Andy.

I bought a V6 a few weeks ago and from empty I placed 57.92 litres in the tank. Thus far I've travelled just over 155 miles and the tank is showing half full. I'll report back once I need to fill up again but based on what I'm seeing so far I'll probably end up on around 310 miles which will...
