United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Santorini Black

the stove is a 8kw?? hunter, the fire bars on these do seems soft and twist easily. I also managed to near burn through the rear register plate, this has been replated in the farm workshop, new plates are ££££

The stove was a used ebay bargain 8 years ago. turned out it was only a mile away. the guy was neighbourly and ended to auction early after a cheeky cash bid. heavy thing mind, I near put my back out lifting it into my then FL1 At work

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Auto Santorini Black

Being involved with the Cheshire Agricultural Society I get to talk to all the show exhibitors and was speaking to a guy about wood burners for a client who was thinking of fitting 3 in parallel to heat his rather large house and generate hot water.

The guy selling the units was quite honest with me and stated that "Unless you have got money to burn" (sorry about the pun) IE you get the wood FOC do not bother as it is cheaper to use oil (or gas if it is available)
