New to land rovers

Hi everyone always loved land rovers finally got round to getting myself a freelander. My past cars have been at the other end of the scale than landrovers. Heres a few of my previous cars before i caught myself on and bought a 4x4
Firstly was a 306 d-turbo

Im new to land rover ownership so will probably have a lot of questions. The previous owner lost the tax book so havent even been able to get it yet because it cant be taxed till the new tax book comes. So hopefully get some photos of it all clean when i get it.

Ukraine 2013 Freelander 2 2.0T SE Auto Fuji White

A close relative has an Evoque, it is a very nice car. I just needed a bit more space for camping & to be able to sleep in the back of the car if raining & got a Freelander. Have tested it & there was enough room to sleep. A touch cramped but it is basically ok if it is raining & I am too lazy to put up a tent, then I can jump in the back. If it wasn't for that I would be very happy with the Evoque. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Wee update. Got my 245/70/17 Yokohama geolanders fitted on Tuesday. So far so good. Not really any noticeable increase in noise.
