:).Thanks for your advice guys.I did have a Zafira for 18months,nice car,no problems while I had it.I found it very uncomfortable,gave me severe backache even though I was only driving 20ish miles per day.An LPG Disco is my most likely option as other family members have diesel versions so are...

:).Hello again,trade in update as follows,decided to give up on Freelanders altogether.I am considering an automatic 2001(51) Discovery V8 ES,35k,full LR service history from a local non LR dealers for £7000,is this a good price for this car?.Other family members have more or less self...

:).Thanks again,your advice is as always much appreciated.Next car wont be new,my budget is £8000 max.Hopefully my current V6 will be gone before christmas.I will keep you posted as to progress,maybe not goodbye if the right TD4 ES 5 door turns up.A few last questions for now,as most issues...

:),Thanks guys,I dont need or really want a 4x4 as I wont ever be off road,never mind in a Freelander-cue tittering Disco,Defender owning relatives,:o.Really like the Freelanders good looks,thought owning a V6 instead of the 1.8 would be stress free but thinking every trip will be your last is...

:(.After reading/hearing nothing really positive about petrol Freelanders I have been told by other half that it has to go!.I love the car but to be honest,waiting for the seemingly inevitable HGF and or VCU/IRD problems to happen,im considering a TD4 auto as a better and more reliable option.I...

:).Hi,the KV6 enigine is same thing as the Rover 825 2.5V6,if you use Radweld in it your engine will die!,according to a mechancially minded friend its to do with very narrow waterways being blocked up.As anyone on here will advise the KV6 is poorly cooled and any blocking of the already limited...

:).Hi,I have a V6 fitted with LPG and will normally use around 14gallons/64litres of LPG to do around 210miles full tank till petrol switchover.All LPG tanks will only fill to 80% of there rated size,mines is an 80litre tank which fills to 64litres so yours seems to be filling properly.If you...

:).No problem,tend to lurk a lot usually to convince myself that I can afford a Discovery V8/LPG,cant of course but would very much like one.I like both the old and new Freelanders but think the first revision of 2000-2003 was the best looking inside and out.I think moving the spare wheel from...

:).Around £21000 going by my visit to Taggarts(Maryhill) main dealers!.I dont know very much about either to be honest,other family members have Discos/Defenders and do serious off roading,Freelander bad points seemed to be(are?) due to HGF,VCU and or IRD failures.New ones have diesel,TD4 was...

Would a pikey steal a R770 in finest freelander beige?.Survived so far in the eastend of Glasgow,parked in the street no less!.:eek:.No point tempting fate or thieves.:(.

:).Evening all,had to scrape ice from windows twice this week,what type of de-icer do you use?.I think trigger pumps are easier to use though rather than aerosols especially in the cold.Maybe premature but thought it best to prepare,also I think my Goodyear Wrangler HP(195/80/R15) tyres would be...

:).Try a look here:http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/lpg-39287.html?highlight=lpg+conversion.As the username suggests I have a converted V6,no issues regarding using LPG or petrol.If you want a petrol freelander the V6 is likely a safer bet than the 1.8 both are generally troublesome,sadly.:(.The...

Thanks for that,in hindsight my stupidity,oops!.:o,:).Edited PDQ!.
