It’s not unusual for a thread to go off reservation while we’re waiting for the OP to come back after realising what the issue And is getting it fixed. Will she report back and say yes it’s fixed or has she been put off this forum? Who knows...

Anyway... I had a Freelander once through work and was great in the snow in the highlands! Instead of restoring supplies (electricity) spent more time helping people who were stuck in the snow with their FWD motors.. It was an '06 plate. |

I had a 02 plate TD4 5-door ES which was a really nice car, heated leather etc. bought as project with a raft of minor issues but once sorted it was a nice reliable vehicle and also did a bit of laning in it - which is where I got to tow a Mk 1 Disco out of a muddy field... This one was a lucky find, had one private owner from new and mostly LR history, exceptional condition bodywork wise and interior, had only been used as a family runabout.
Then had a '04 plate (facelift) 3-door commercial which again bought as a project with a raft of issues. This one was a mistake, although it also had good LR history is was abused, and messed about with. Every now and then the engine would run rough and smoke and then clear itself with no codes logged, it's the only project car I've never got to the bottom of. Got fed up and sold it to a LR Freelander dealer who also got fed up of it and sold it on e-bay. The idea of a 4x4 van was brilliant though, I could chuck gear in the back and drive it around my fields all day. I don't think anyone else makes anything the compared at the time? I still have idle thoughts of converting my old (2003) XC90 into a van but I've got Ford Ranger now for that work and comforts aside it's well suited. It is surprising just how many Mk1 Freeloaders you still see on the roads. Far more than Rover 25's etc.

Not sure if I should admit this but I did a bit of stalking and looked the OP up on Facebook - where there are pics of the car. It looks good but a number of mods including (probably illegal) heavy tints. Clearly her pride and joy though...

Me too but if she does and she parks it sunny side down, probably best it's a Volvo...
