    Freelander 1 Need to change my Car.

    Hi all, I suppose the reason I don"t particularly like the FL2 is I"ve had numerous FL1s and touch wood none of them have ever really let me down, so it must be an age thing. By the way Nodge what sort of price will you be looking for should I change my view and buy a FL2?
