Lithuania 2015 Freelander 2 2.0T HSE Lux Auto Havana

Mrs anglaslt who speaks Russian had a listen to the clip. The car had been standing outside for two days in -27c and the owner seems pleased with the way it started.

We were down to -28c winter before last and it put around 70% of all traffic off the road with battery failure or diesel waxing.

FL2 has performed well.

I don't think it'll be that cold in the UK. In fact the weather forcasters are going back on their word. I don't think they have a clue what's gonna happen. I don't know about you folks, but I'm longing for some decent snow, it's been too long and besides us 4x4 oweners can show the 'eco friendly' people of this world who's boss!!

After my car been sttod still all afternoon and last night

Went to start it and it did so perfectly Very Happy

but a warning bong and a i message saying the TR was faulty and DSC off light came on the dashboard, restarted it and was still the same, took a quick spin and when restarted it was back to normal

If it happens again LRA will have a call and they can look at it, with a cold spell and possible ice on the road it not the best to have no DSC or TR Evil or Very Mad Shocked

The Audi Q5 I looked at the other day is starting to look even nicer Sad Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

If you go over to Auda (which means OUCH in Norwegian) Q5 then please think carefully who will take over as Site Moderator of our forum Twisted Evil

.....and by the way Auda's, are very popular in Norway but they have the worst reputation for problems as many Auda owner colleague's will tell you Shocked 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Good to hear that Nick Thumbs Up - however the rest of the gang will NOT accept you as mod with a Skoda Shocked or a Auda for that matter, so you had better link yourself to your Freely.
As for a certain squeek I might have heard about "knowing a fine fellow who would be a great and even handed mod" - FORGET IT I would rather have that Weapon Crazy Guy from the other side of the pond than that option Shocked 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Going back to topic - where's the f Censored ing snow - this country is so boring!! Going off topic again for npink's benefit - I don't have any faith in German technology. VW and Audi are plagued with electrical problems and engine management issues. My mate has a new golf and he thinks it's the worse car he's ever brought. Granted it's not an Audi, but that is only a posh name for VW anyway. Granted LR can be annoying, but they're without a doubt the best true off roading mid sized SUV's on the road. The others are all wannabees!! Thumbs Up Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass
