Well it arrived at about midday today and we have (me, wife, 2 year old boy) instantly fallen in love with it! Just took it out for a fairly straightforward jaunt to a few beaches and loved it. Fantastic visibility, looks great, loads of space, pulls up hills surprisingly well and nicely...

Any woman attracted to that Freelander would be a clap ridden slapper with fake baps and a flange you could drive a bus into.

All show, not much go = bad Lots of go, not much show = cool

Cheers goon - will check all those bits!

Sorry if this is a bit "high maintenance" of me but our Landy is being delivered shortly. 57 reg, 37k miles, XS model. Probably sounds like utter madness to many but we've bought it blind from a main LR dealer in Croydon - been driven here then they are picking up our Jimny that we're...

Probably ought not to post pics of my (push) bikes, multiple surfboards and little speedboat - which we mainly use as a taxi to get us to riverside pubs!

Goon - got £300 off. Checked other ads very extensively and none get near to this for price/spec. Will see how it turns out tomorrow. Got a years tax on it.

Very nice! Ours has windows all over though and is green. And a bit older! And had checker plate protection.

Arranged for it to be delivered tomorrow!

We looked all over the UK for ours and one place had loads - nr Oxford I think: Land Rovers and Range Rovers for Sale from James French.com Ltd, Standlake, Oxfordshire, Land Rovers

Delivery tomorrow...

Red - cheers for the "assessment!!" They don't do a 316 version of our shape (E91) - lamest engine you can get is the 318i (318d also a bit limp). 35d unit gives it 0-60 in 5.7s and 100 in 13.3 so it moves well enough. I love it! Jimny has been okay - wife's car really. Reliable, easy to park...

Just had a quote of Tesco - currently used to insure the wife's Jimny but changing to a Defender 110 next week. From £250 to £680!!!!!! So checked Swiftcover - £250. Might well go with BMW Insurance though - £350 but really good cover (use them for the 335d). Defenders definitely ain't cheap to...

Can highly recommend the South Hams area - some great tracks and lovely pubs. My inlaws live in Newton Ferrers so often over that way. Good down here in Cornwall too but quite far for a lot of people.

Hmm - helpful. Thanks. :rolleyes: I'm sure the dealer would be completely fine to keep our deposit and not provide a car :rolleyes: Cheers Swoggin - should arrive Sunday if all goes well.

John - a decent forum for E9* owners. The UK section is a good un. Had a couple of minor issues sorted thanks to it! Plenty of M3 owners use the forum.

Veeeeery nice - you on E90Post?

We're going to give them some serious questions shortly and make it clear that they have knocked our confidence - what can they do about it, etc - you are right though and we are mindful of it.

Red - out of interest what does a man who knows about cars drive?! My first car was a 1973 Morris Marina in Beige - now that was UTTER cr4p. Then: 86 mk2 Golf Gti 98 Saxo VTR (bought new - doh!) 93 Passat estate (hideous "filler" car) 97 mk3 Gti 16v 2003 mk4 R32 Golf (bought two months old)...
