Xc60 vs v60 vs freelander2 - Page 5

I'm sure that if you do your research and buy a well looked after example (they come up for sale on the disco3 site) then you'll be OK. You'll be even more OK if you're handy with the spanners and an IID tool!

I got the EGRs and EPB done at LR specialists and the TC/gearbox refurb was done by a WD-appointed transmission 'specialist' (they may well know their way round a gearbox but they didn't know how to reassemble the fuel line or exhaust!).

Well sold my v70, so looks like my Volvo ownership has come to an end for a wee while.
Would love a xc60 awd but they are still holding good prices and xc90s just feel a bit dated- although I'd snap up a 09/10 manual if I can.

Freelander is still looking likely
Discovery 3 is too tempting & too scary
Audi Quattro's are looking very appealing.

The hunt begins
