A FL2 at 12,000 miles and 30mpg will consume 400 gallons. That equates to roughly 2,400 quid.
Sounds a lot. But a new HSE is going to cost more than twice that in depreciation alone. If you can aff ... |

Dont bother with 6 disks... its slow and noisy - just get an iPod
Just a quick point - if the option is the same as the HSE system, the 6 CDs support 'data' rather than audio CDs so you can load ... |

Our 2010MY HSE came with Pirelli Scorpion Zeros, all-season tyres designed for 4X4s and SUVs.
In the snow around Surrey this week they have been faultless, no need for separate winter tyres. |

Threshold braking is not cadence braking, cadence braking will never better ABS but I believe threshold braking can in packed ice/snow.
Threshold braking is just that, knowing how hard to brake befo ... |

| I agree, ABS does have its place but it's not so effective on packed snow/ice, braking distance is increased when compared to 'threshold' braking. If braking can be effected and held before wheel lock ... |

Looks like they changed the clip, no FL2 that I could see.
We've had about 1ft here, Freelander just drives through it all. |

When mine was last at the stealer, I had an auto as a loan car. I was amazed how much time I spent on the brakes due to lack of engine braking that I was used to.
