Well hopefully not to thre graveyard hope it continues to be a good car and hope the new owner enjoys owing it .

Just an update my freelander is now currently enjoying its new life In Poland seems to be that this is where the old freelanders go to live out the rest of their lives. The guy I sold it to has taken 18 Freelanders out there in the last 5 months as the Polish drivers just can't get enough of...

simbars bike rack is supposed to be universal fit for any 4x4 with a rear door mounted spare wheel. So it should fit with no problem.

When I bought my freelander in april 2006 I fitted Kumho all terrain tyres all round cost £200 for the full set including fitting and balancing (thats 2006prices obviously). They were still on the car when I sold it a couple of weeks ago and having covered 26,000 miles they still had plenty of...

check all windows are fully up including the tailgate window.

Bought my leather seats out of a 2001 freelander on ebay and they didn't have the heating elements not that it mattered as my 98 xedi probably didn't have the required wiring for them anyway ........... so no not all leather seats are heated.

sold it for two grand mate so as you can imagine after weeks of no interest to actually have flogged it for a decent price is a relief ..... I'm well happy.:D

Ok quick update car is now sold and after reading the various posts on this thread I am pleased to say you were all (well most of you were ) vastly underestimating the resale value of the humble freelander.:D

No need to apologise if thats what its worth thats what its worth. Just gonna see what happens but theres no way it's going for a grand I'd be better off breaking it for spares and selling bit by bit or just keeping it till she eventually dies and goes to landy heaven. Thanks for all the info...

Suppose theres always the swan vestas route :eek: Nah couldn't do that to her shes been a good old bus only minor niggling faults over the last 26 months. Guess the celica will be in the paper next week then.:confused: :mad:

After a couple of weeks of advertising in the local ad-trader For £2200 I have had the grand total of 0 enquiries I'm guessing nobody wants them anymore lol:p . Have had it on ebay for a week with an opening bid of £1800 had no firm bids but have had a few emails from peolpe taking the mickey...

Had a look around and according to parkers and other similar websites it's worth about £2250 as a private sale so yeah £2000 would be good but how popular are they in the current fuel / tax climate lol. Maybe I'll keep hold of it after all or maybe iI'll cjuck it in the local paper just to...

Thinking its about time for a change trouble is I don't know what my freelander is worth in a private sale so I'm looking for advice from those in the know. Its a 1998 2.0 lt xedi on an "R" plate, moted till april 2009 taxed till october 2008, its in good alround condition and apart from a...

I agree go to your local bike shop and get some brake cable for a push bike as its better to spend a couple of quid (approx £3 )on that than to pay for the quite expensive ebay kits (£20 + when you include the P&P) which comprise of a steel cable and a couple of copper ends pieces . I'm...

As far as your open gay workmate is concerned I for one am very relieved that "he's well aware he's gay" because I should imagine thats the sort of thing that could come as a hell of a shock to you if you didn't know you were that way inclined.
