    I love the handling of this car, because I can steer by gas pedal. It handles like 4wd on icy curves but I can get the rear out quite easily. It's still very controlled with nordic studded winter tyres.

    Freelander 1 Td4 Sport (New aquisition)

    Update. New strut installed and no more rear door gym! It's so light and effortless to open & close now. Well spent 20€.

When I bought mine 280 tkm driven 2004 FL1 the strut was extremely stiff. I have lubricated it often and now it's better but still I have to...

    Time for a Christmas tour again. Drove 530 km to eastern Finland today with our two dogs. My grille cover seems to work well in winter temps and temp gauge stays in the middle even when driving motorway speeds 100 km/h. The average consumption for TD4 today was 8l/100km, driving with studded...
