Hello to everyone.

Mine would also be waiting delivery hadn't this one come across offered by the dealer. I wanted xenon and panoramic roof as optional equipment. This one had leather, rear parking sensors and 6CD charger instead. It is 6 months old but had only 1.900km on the odometer, it still smells like new and the price was unbeatable. In the end I got the lamp guards and the roof rails included for £23.000 . I don't know how are things up there, but down here it's a pretty good price, same spec for a new car is £32.000, though discounts are steep, around £4.000. Still I was saving like £5.000 and the car is virtually new, it was a no brainer.

I was also looking at the Evoque but the best I could get in a similarly spec car was £29.000. Anyway I like it more than the Evoque now

My only complaint so far has been a little, almost inaudible crack coming from the center console some times on bumpy roads and bends. I thinks it's due to the Parrot installed by the dealer (also included in the price), they forgot to put back a couple of screws on top of the console (you can see it if you remove the small rubber mat just above the warning lights). Talked to the dealer and he has promised to look for the missing screws and put them back

I love the handling of the car, I was a little bit worried, but I've found it much more stable than expected on bends and twisty roads. It's not a sports car, but it performs well and the torque is always there. Ride comfort on the other hand it's outstanding, very relaxed driving, it filters the bumps with ease.

Well I'm very happy with the acquisition, I guess it's pretty obvious

That looks very nice, glad you are enjoying it. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

Looks good in white, I don't think it will be entirely necessary to respray it to the Stornoway Grey this year!

One question (OK, it's two parter ) - I've noticed that many folk blank out their number plates when publishing photos - why and how do you do this?

Hi Ron,
I used too all the time, it can be used to identify people, frauds can clone numbers etc, I gave up in the end, nothing to hide so why bother.

Taz aka Paul or the git from Lancashire as CG would like to think

Congratulations, another nice Freelander. Now, how did you manage to get that weather?

Same as the swirley number plate method - Photoshop

I here I was thinking that Aythami hadn't waited for the ink to dry on the numberplate before giving it its first polish

I thought (knew ) all the gits came from east of the Pennines

Thanks Paul.

I wouldn't laugh, it's saved me a fortune in parking tickets and speeding fines, not to mention diesel and tyre wear from the weight saving
