Title: Landrover Freelander for WFP?
Post by: ts cleaning on May 16, 2012, 10:38:48 pm: Small tank in back, pole on roof- Dont use pole that much and think it would be pretty functional as a van/car?

Getta trailer - and the car you fancy (within reason) you know it makes sense.

You reckon? Have you had one?

Yers I have one and wish I didn't. Nothing but problems, expensive problems too. Next bit of kit I am buying for it is 2 litres of petrol and a box of matches.

Could I suggest using the cigarette lighter (that's if it works) saves buying a box of matches.

I bought her a 54 plate brand new, when it was new. It was a 2.0 litre petrol and after 30,000 miles it needed a new head gasket. We sold it after that. This diesel one is a lot better

Post by: BVC on May 18, 2012, 08:58:35 am: td4 diesel. 110k still pulls like a train. Mind you I think there are less risky options. Also everyone raves about ford connects but mine was the worst van I ever had. Spent over a grand on engine niggles and never found them. (try 120 quid for air sensor) Its all about the lump imo. 2litre diesel for me from now on.

BVC.
