I see you have gone for the manual doc - the auto not interest you

Looks nice - for a ford... Hope it all works out for you. I'm seriously thinking about my car options at the moment, don't want to get rid of the landrover but I am doing lots miles with work at the moment and I can't help but think it is not the most economical option. My thoughts are to keep the landrover as the family car and get a pre loved golf or 1 series for the motorway miles when on business. Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints

Perhaps it needs a new earth lead............

Enjoy your new motor, just paid 250 quid VED for my FL2  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

did you buy it outright doc or on lease ? what happened to the fl2  When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

Could of jumped just too early Doc, the weather coming your way looks nasty!

Just come down the M1 from Yorkshire, all the Gantry Signs through Derbyshire display " Severe Weather Tomorrow"

Can all members on the A38 from J28 of the M1 down to Derby, be on the lookout for a Tomato stuck in the snow.

In all seriousness, the Fiesta ST I used to own coped admirably in the Feb snow of 2008 which was on a par with what has been forecast. If 4WD and/or winter tyres aren't available, a small FWD is much better than a large FWD car such as a Mondeo due to being lightweight. At least its not RWD  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

We went to collect the wifes Freebie 2 last night, my A3 tdi was showing 69.5 mpg on the 80 mile trip overall,

mainly due to the 25 miles of average 50 mph cameras, and the snow over the tops, but it does 60mpg running about.

nothing to do with me being a tight Yorkie,
