Look what I got...

I have been trying to sell my Discovery just recently and someone offered to do a direct swap for this! It's a 2000/W 1.8 XEi with 90K miles.

I wasn't necessarily looking for one, but it seemed like a good trade so I went for it :)  It's nice to drive and (seems to be) in very good nick. I've only driven it twice since getting it on Sunday - I took it along a short and what I thought was a very gentle lane (easy in the Discovery). However, it scraped the ground while driving some ruts. The central box of the exhaust looks very low!?

So, the question is, do I keep it or move on to something else (can - worms - open  :wink: )

Steven:
Nice! Why not keep it if you hanv't already had one and experiment with it?

They can look quite good when all done up for offroading I think!

The mad freelanders website has a ready reckoner for wheel and tyre sizes to give your freeby extra lift without resorting to a lift kit.  I enjoyed my freeby but it got to the stage where I needed a bigger car (stepdaughter and 2 grandkids :roll: ) so I had to change it to a D2.

If it hasn't got a parcel shelf then try www.powerfuluk.co.uk  They do one for about £160 delivered. It is a genuine 20 minute job to fit.

I've seen / heard about mad freelanders before - how "active" is it? It's a shame that you have to pay!

I have also seen the rigid parcel shelf already :wink:  They also have a cheaper version on e-bay at £99!

I seem to remember lifting a Freelander is different to, say, a Discovery - anyone got details of how, what's needed, etc?
