Excellent

I added the cold climate pack to mine on purchase which brings heated windscreen (brilliant) and heated washer jets. The only thing I had to remember was that the washer fluid can still freeze in the pipe if diluted. Once used neat, all was well.

I also decided to buy GAP insurance cos insurance companies can be a bit skanky if things go pete tong.

Is this your first FL2? If so get ready for supreme snow performace and off road ability. TR is a great feature

If it is where I think it is I hope it does not suffer the same fate as EY's did, terrible what an aerosol can does to a newly painted Freely

It will be worth the wait how ever long it takes

OMG
At least I got an extra layer of paint on mine albeit a different colour

Mine was prepped in a couple of days. I remember my drive down, all excited and although they were very very nice people I wanted to drive away in it on my own as quickly as possible

Well at least you will be able to get about easily unlike 2WD. With careful driving of course. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
