Thread: Prospective Buyer

Deisel is the only option here as they seem to be very reliable Tom

Wife's 2014 Freelander SD4 is a great car..totally reliable, done 100,000 now. Trouble and strife and daughter have tried to wreck the interior, only damage a couple of ac vent knobs broken.
She tows horsefloat no prob with one horse only.
I really enjoy driving it...great engine. Not many frills though.
I actually prefer it to new Discosport which replaces it.

The revised 2013 interior is much nicer. The SE and above has the larger centre info screen. HSE has some very nice extras, and worth the extra money. TD or SD motor is another consideration.

I'm not sure how much research you've done. I was seriously considering a FL2 at one stage.

This family of PSA motor is fitted to a range of makes incl Ford Mondeo and Peugeot, as is the Japanese Aisin 6 speed transmission.

I knew it.
Didn't take you long. Looking for your next purchase I see.

Mick - you gave me your disease. Or should I say hobby/passion....

I have a solution for you.
We can discuss it as I move my treasures next to my new treasures in my new shed.

I'll let you borrow my new 101 camper from time to time.

If you go ahead some pre-emptive maintenance won't hurt, we just bought our second FL 2. i.e Auto fluid, change till it looks clean, Haldex service and the rear Diff oil. Also if really keen the front Transfer box. All these are "sealed for life" which is not specified, as to how long that is!! One more check power steering reservoir if fluid looks brown and dirty the filter in the Res is blocked or dirty, so need to change Res and flush, or pump will eventually give up. All these are fairly easy and not too expensive, all that aside they are great cars and very capable, we loved our first one till a truck ran into the back of it and wrote it off. Three days later we went out and bought another.
