Helppppppppppp

Thanks Everyone for thier views, especially the ones that own freelanders your information and experience is extremley valuable. I respect everyones point of views however at the end of the day we all choose a vechicle that suits our needs and wants, as someone said "you purchase a vechicle for your needs and not everyone wants to climb mountains ect". We are more informed of the problems that may or hopefully may not arise.
Freelander owners keep in touch!!

Be Safe and Take Care On The Roads All

Michelle & Stefan:)

PS bad news travels fast..... Lets hear some "GOOD" stories about them!

I never actually bought the freelander to be an off road vehicle, I bought it because it was a diesel, got 14kpl and could pull the family around town in comfort.
I found out its capabilities quite by accident you see I went on a weekend away with a few people in here and low and behold the Disco was playing up so I took the Freebie. Everyone who went on that trip came back with a different view of the Freelander, you would be surprised what you can do with them and if you want a real testiment to the freelander, talk to camellandy;)

As far as the mines better than yours argument, Mine will always be better than yours Gary as long as were talking Landrovers but really Im just taking the ****, you guys are so much fun to stir up as there is soooooo much you cant defend with a free lander that this is what ends up happening.

Dont get upset Gary, one day you will go back to a real Landy, one that you dont have to pray to every morning to make it go....
LOL LOL LOL LOL

So I take it Gary that by purchasing a Freelander you loose your sense of humor, is it the climate controled air con that sucks it out of you or the continully draining bank account lol.

Certainly not upset just enjoy a rousing discussion. As far as praying every morning to get it too go - that is one thing I have never had to do with the Freelander but I often did with my Discovery - it and the NRMA got to know each other very well.

As you can see in my signature block - I have owned a number of Landrovers over 30 years (only 2 years without one in that time) - and indeed have a series one as well as the Freelander at the moment and have owned 2 series 1s over the past year. As well, I owned both my Discovery and the Freelander at the same time for over two years - as such I am one of the few people on the forum who has owned one but also owned another landy at the same time. I am happy to accept comment from people with experience with the car but just a little less tolerant of people who make comment without ever owning one.

While some people have had a bad experience, most who have actually had one speak quite highly of them.

Landrover have aimed their cars at different markets - the Freelander is aimed at the town market and it does it well - it was the best selling 4wd in Europe for many years - the Defender does not sell well in Australia, the Disco and RR does reasonable well - they all have their roles - oh and while a Freelander might not have as good resale as a Fender it is actually better than a Disco - not by much but it is better.
