You should see my Trooper

or conversely the MX5 !

You should see our MX5. I've spent hours in the past getting every panel perfect, but as we are very rural, er indoors insists on driving up the hawtorns in attempts to dodge the tractors.
It's got more scratches than a dog full of fleas. (the car that is).

Hello,

I've just registered as a user having taken delivery of a MY11 HSE on Saturday, and I wanted to say thank you to everyone for providing a whole heap of useful info (and a few laughs along the way) which I have been looking at over the past couple of months on this forum. You have really helped me to come to the right decision when buying the new vehicle.

Cheers.

Andrew

Hi Sleepyrabbit, nice to have you here
There's a load of good info with plenty to help out for the odd problem that may occur and some humour, or not depending how you read it

Welcome Sleepyrabbit

Hi SleepyRabbit You could not have chosen a better time of year to become a Freelander convert I'm sure you will find you have bought into something that is more than just another car I'm seriously impressed with the thing (and we changed from a Defender) . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto
2024 Renault Clio Alpine e-tech .

Just joined please be gentle with me!
Bought my first Freelander 2 years ago when 2 snowflakes stopped my Mercedes from moving off the drive. Read a lot of mixed reviews about the car but eventually jumped into the murky waters and bought a high mileage 57 SE manual in Rimini red. She who must be obeyed uses it the most but I try and get her to use the Merc whenever I can because I love it. Hoping to take delivery of a new one next Thursday but given that I ordered it in August I am not holding my breath. Spec is HSE SD4 automatic in “drug dealer” black with factory tinted windows, which I’m told are better than the aftermarket type. If it arrives and I figure out how to upload pictures I will post them

Hello Manufan, be gentle, with a name like that, I wouldn't worry about the tints too much although the special vehicles division can armour plate them which may have been a better option.

You love the SD4, pretty awesome, I waved goodbye to a Merc and havn't looked back.

Enjoy the forum and get some pics on here, we even have a competition somewere for best snow pic!!

Given your location and me working in Accrington you may see the "black bomber" soon, it will be the one with bullet holes!

black with black windows , hope your not going to spoil it with any red football stickers/scarfes etc.


you wont need GB plates as it seems your not going back to Europe this year  At work
