I managed to have a long chat with a Freelander 2 owner a couple of days ago and he loved his (a 2009). He used his for work and regularly towed heavy loads over farm land etc. He agreed the Disco 2 is a better tower but added that the Freelander 2 had never let him down even when towing large...

Thanks for that, the prices are interesting but not too scary. I am getting the distinct feeling that the L322 is just too expensive and complicated for me.

Thank you for those tips. I did actually fix an air leak in my sons air suspension on his Disco 2 a few years ago; a bit of imagination and a bit of improvisation and it was back on the road!

Thanks for the reply, I think from what I have read recently that is the big advantage of the Discovery 2 - there is a fair chance that a lot of the work that may be needed is DIY- able :-)

I had a chat today with a Discovery 2 owner who said that he has had things go wrong with his Disco and that it does have its own 'quirks' but he added that most of the jobs that needed doing he could himself so it was not a major problem. Does any Discovery 2 owner have similar experience/views?

Thank you for the replies. Since I posted the first comment I have found another one on another forum and I was truly shocked by how many things had gone wrong with the chaps L322 RR. I think your comment 'unless you are lucky or have piles of money' is spot on - given that my luck is often...

I am thinking about buying a Range Rover TD6 L322 ( the one with the sat nav in the dash) but my good lady insists that being a Range Rover it will cost far too much to run and maintain so she thinks I should go for a Discovery 2 instead. I wonder if anyone can help me, I have done a lot of...

Thanks for that. Agreed, duty cycles are not the issue. Giving consistently good welds, weld control, wire feed etc are much more important. My old Sip100 Mig will weld absolutely beautifully one minute then the next time you press the trigger, literally a few seconds later, it makes a...

If you can help it would be really appreciated as I need to make the jump and order one. I know the BlueMig 150 came out as best buy but until I know what it was compared with it is not a lot of value as it may have been best of a very bad bunch or best of a very good bunch!

That's my problem exactly! Does fear make me spend £600 on an Oxford welder or with a bit of guidance from the review can I buy a suitable machine for my requirements for much less!

Hi all I wonder if someone can help me. I am about to buy a new mig welder to restore my old MGB and I was just about to commit to buying one when I found out that LR Monthly had done a review of mig welders in Sep. Needless to say that issue is no longer in the shops. I live in France so...
