Lord Ferguson Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I did the Exmoor challenge for a couple of years.. it's a weekend event on once a year (you'll have to google it)... I can safely say... it's the best off-roading I have EVER done - some superb technical bits... and some real danger in places too... gets the old adrenal gland working for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Likewise..... we should definitely do something.... Up by us we have Eastnor Castle, the original - and still the main - proving ground for Land Rovers. The 'Experience' course is a bit lame, have been round that a few times, but I did my chainsaw license there and we got to tool around the whole estate in the old man's old Disco and the woodmen's bad boy Disco which LR give them, was awesome. I was at a party at Christmas with the daughter of the guy who owns it, sure I could have a word and get us a bit of a play there.....?

Fenside MF Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Here's my freelander Adam and it's the worst vehicle I have ever owned and should be selling it in a few weeks to get a new vw transporter van. I've just spent £250 on having the electric rear window fixed as it decided not to work after I washed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 why is it the worst, is it petrol if so the k series engines where renowed for head gasket probs it's a petrol and I bought it on a whim really and have heard all the horror stories about head gaskets. What I don't like is that the clutch is too hard for a car,bad brakes there not as sharp as discs all round ,body roll,no height ajustable seat,and 22 to 28 mpg.I just don't really like freelanders now after owning one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The folks are on their third and love them, although I have to say, not Land Rover's greatest achievement. First was an X plate K series, then a nice TD4 van which sister rolled - her fault, not the car's - and now another TD4 van like the last one. I'm not a massive fan but it serves a purpose. And I suppose they have the RR Sport & MX5 for high days and holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
