I've gone to the darkside

[ratcatcher]

for a number of years Ive been a vitara man, whilst secretly looking at pictures/videos on the net whilst she who must be obeyed slept:blushing:

but couldn't help myself yesterday, I went the whole hog and bought a secondhand freelander, funnily enough its the same year, same cc and same colour as my current vitz, but diesel rather than petrol, it was the boot space that pulled me in, and the fact the rear roof comes off, so ideal for lamping.

 

now I have to worry of the shame, will I start wearing land rover based clothing, will people look at me funny

 

 

worst of all, will it be stuck in the garage having repairs more than I have hot dinners:biggrin:

i'd worry more about the last line! Had a freelander myself, it was always having problems.

I had a TD4 Commercial, did over 140k in under 3 years without issues until the clutch went then some dodgy repair did a drive shaft and we got rid.

as i understand it (and i might be wrong) the 4x4 system is kind of like a limited slip centre diff style thing so it wiats until your stuck before the four wheel drive kicks in. unlike the vit which is 4x4 when u put it in 4x4 and a damn sight classyer

I bought one and the started doing research on them its the 4x4 system that is the whole cars down fall which is why most people remove a drive shaft to make it 2wd as i think its called vcu unit is a common problem on them. I couldnt find a good thing about freelanders so before i picked it up told the guy i didnt want it paid for him advertise it again and walked away.

Good luck in your new career as a hairdresser.

my first vitara was red, and often referred to as a hairdressers car, so did this to it

Now it just looks like a pshyco hairdressers car. :lol::lol:

Nothing wrong with a well looked after Freelander.

My old man's on his 4th 'old style' one and not killed one yet. (Sister rolled one but that's another story)

Great little cars and brilliant off road....
