QuoteGuess the Freelander on my list is a no goer then... ::)

Pointless car - for a few hundred quid more you can have the relative Disco, which is far, far, far better!
Loving the Vectra C 2.2 diesel!

They had (and I believe still do have) exhaust manifold issues ::) ::)
Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Had our td5 now for a year and has never let us down. When the snow was down this year it was one of the only cars in the car park at work as I had to give um all a lift. 27 -35 mpg 10 years old with 100K on it. Just keep the oil clean like you would in a mig and for towing :y :y :y

you will always find someone who has had a bad one which ever make/modle car you go for.

disco's are great machines they need regular maintainance and waxoyling every year,disco 3/4 ARE NOT proper landies too much german in the genes for my liking.

Problems with the disco 2 are boot floor rots front inner wings rot rear doors sag cos of the spare tyre ali/steel contact crossion apart from that they are bomb proof if you get a good one.

Personally i would stear clear of jap 4x4s the are poor imitations in my book, landrovers rule
A little infomation is dangerous in the wrong hands

QuoteAny hints or tip on em guys....I might get shot of the miggy once i`ve got the money off the solicitors...I`m considering the 2.5 td versions as i fancy something big and comfy and suitable for me and mrs bertie`s runaround... ;D ;D..... Although i aint quite given up on the idea of owning a late plate 2.5 td miggy estate either ::) ::).... ;)

Bertie I'M your man to talk to, if you get a 1998 2.5TDi 300 series then you will be fine with the engine and gearbox and drive, it is just the normal Aluminium and steel corrosion.
I sold my 300tdi 5 months ago an am still missing it like I have lost a child.
BUT I then talked 2 of my neighbours to by two ;-) So I still get to play under the cars on a weekly basis.

I was out last weekend Greenlaning aswell, so am still in with the off-roading stuff.

Here is a picture of my OLD Girl along with both of my neighbours.

Its great fun to have one and the cost of repairing is dirt cheap really aslong as you stay clear of the TD5 BMW engined version.

If you need any advice then please do not hesitate to contact me via PM.

Mine is the Grey one.
