Any pics and whats on the clock :y also stay away from the freelander cos it will end up costing you more to run than your mig.
-
have to agree with the above, factor in head gasket changes if your getting the 1.8 petrol lump!
Hardly see how a freelander can be more economical than an Omega

hmmmm...really...?... i'm looking for a 2.0 diesel version ....
i've read diesel freelanders do about 37mpg combined compared to the 23mpg miggy.....
not really that keen to get rid of my mig but i have to be realistic, what with the price of juice, road tax and all the other running costs.... :-/
-
I used to do alot of work on Freelanders, Discos, RRSports and RRVogues - and every mechanic at main dealers I talked to said Freelanders said they were very unreliable, and expensive to maintain. Better off with a Disco - roughly same money if you look carefully. ;)

LPG it, i think there is a few members on here that do and you will then have very low fuel and service bills :y :y

Yep... Budget around £700-800 all in if you do the fitting yourself, then enjoy the savings :y :y :y
I run mine about, without sparing the horses, for about 11p per mile :y :y
-
whats the performance like with LPG.....?
and can i hook up a grill in the back for a mobile barbie....!!! ;)
-
performance is the same, its actually should be a little better as LPG is about 105 RON but knock sensors can't take full advantage.
Have to agree, LPG you current car
-

On a good setup you shoudn't notice any difference performance wise - I've never known it to be better, though :y
-
have to agree with above , my mate had a diesel freelander from new and it had three new clutches in twenty thousand miles apparently was a commen fault

I don't know where you got those figures from but my beemer powered 2.5TD does closer to 30 round town and over 40 on a run.
-
it is a 3.0 petrol....and i have a very heavy feet....!!!
-
sorry for the lack of photos.... been getting home from work to late as i want to tkae the pictures in the daylight....!!!
-
The last free-lander I drove seriously had no head room, but then I am a short 6'2inch :P and I was not that impressed with them :o
If you are that serious, try renting one for the day ::)
-
to be honest any diesel smaller car will do...i was looking at 4x4 because of where we now live....!
-

Yes indeed ::) If only I had not just spent a small fortune in getting mine through the test >:( I also could be tempted ;)
Good luck with the sale :y

I lived in the aussi bush for a few years and the farmer next door bought one had it for about 8 months and it ended up dumped in the dry creek bed with all the other scrappers. he ended up with his favourite, the land cruiser.
Though my commodor went where his went no trouble. Good job retreads and exhausts were cheap. ;D ;D ;D
-
Don't know how this got on here, i was answering the thread about the landrover freelander!!! :-? :-? :-?
-
Aha. I see,
Sorry about that, I am in the right place.
Very nice Looking estate, Bit more than i can go to though sob sob.

performance is the same, its actually should be a little better as LPG is about 105 RON but knock sensors can't take full advantage.
LPG has obviously improved since the last time I sampled it then (10mph less on top end compared to petrol, and a noticeable loss on acceleration right throughout the range).
Still worth the money if you intend to keep the car long term though (until the government gets wise and whacks the duty on).

All depends what system is fitted... The latest Sequential systems have very little performance loss, in face normally there isn't any but it is dependant on setup and system. The older, mixer systems were a little poor ::) ::) ::)
There is a drop in economy of up to 20% though, but at the price you pay it's perfectly acceptable :y :y

You will always get slightly less power on LPG unless you have a liquid injection system so the octane rating doesn't really come into it.
However, my 3.2 doesn't have noticeably less power on LPG. Certainly not enough to reduce the top end (whatever that is - couldn't possibly comment :-[) by 10 MPH. SGI systems are pretty good.

How many miles has yours done on LPG now Kev?
-
Just over 20k IIRC. :y
Guess I should change the vapour filter really. :-[
