freelanders are just arse. They are supposed to be an off roader crossed with a car??? except that they are rubbish off-road, and if you drive them like a car they fall apart and break. The best thing to do with them..... Rebadge them as fords and sell them to hairdressers

Large 4x4s!?! wtf!!! - me 90 is shorter than a nissan micra!!!!

If ya want a county for reasonable money try looking at ones with the dreaded 2.5 TD engine (pre 200Tdi turbo). Due to the engines repuation, these tend to be cheaper than counties with the 200tdi engine. The pre 2.5 TD engines have an awful reputation for reliability, true they do have...

Just found this. Heavy radio system??? My mobile phone cost 30 quid and weighs under 4Oz!!!! What the hell are they trying to reach?? Mars?? Or is all the weight due to the handsfree kit they will have to have??? Is this the radio system they should have got 20 odd years ago???

I stand corrected The whole lot of them are useless. God help us all if this bird flu thingy (overhyped by the media) actually hits the UK in a big way.

I work as an engineering officer on product (ie petrol, diesel etc) tankers and can definitely say the dye cannot be removed easily at all.

my 150,00mile 1989 90 with a 2.5td (not tdi) does the same thing. fills the street with blue smoke, which dies away after about 5 minutes, so I too would like to know!!! a neighbour reckoned it might be the valve stem oil seals that are duff, so they let oil into the cylinders the engine is...

snow? where? Am in newcastle at the mo, but none here yet, dunno about over hexham way though

last time i did mine in cut a hole in the bottom of the bottle(s) of oil then ran a length of 1/2" hose into the filler hole in the gearbox from the engine bay, attached the nozzle of the bottle to the hole, then let gravity do the rest worked a treat.

Call me tom wood then... Yep, definitely going if i can afford the humber bridge toll. they charged me £5.40 last time, cos the arse in the toll booth thought a 90 CSW was a van!!!!!!!!

Please someone buy it so I don't....
