Hey there everyone, I swapped the XTrail in for a 59 TD4e and it's pure luxury compared with the XTrail. I won't run the XTrail down as it served me well for 5 years from new but the engine was a bit agricultural so here's hoping for another 5 years of (somewhat) trouble free motoring.
Too early for me to think of dirtying it as it's still nice and shiny but look forward to an event or two eventually when the newness wears off.
Can't say I've seen many in East Yorkshire but will now keep the peepers open, catch you all later.

Welcome and enjoy the site  Ex-2009 Freelander 2 HSE Auto owner

Welcome on board, I did the same had a X Trail for 5 years and then went for a FL2 . X Trail did everything I asked of it, but was to heavy on the juice and it was either a new diesel one or something else, glad I went with the FL2 defiantly a step up.

Thanks for the welcome, in fact I'm Cornish but been living up north for 25 years now, so not a proper northerner, just a tolerated outsider.

Welcome, honorary Northerner. The FL2 is a very different (read 'superior') machine to the X-trail.

Just to clarify:
It's "up t' North"
I thank you.

It is a different car altogether, the XTrail did all I asked of it albeit in a "tractorish" way and served me well but the Freelander 2 is superior in comfort, ride, noise levels, ride height, just about everything really. Long may it continue.

Is it too early for me to say I tow a white box without getting alienated by CG. you see I've read nearly every thread on the forum

And whats tractorish? all about? Did the X-trail have 6.9litre 6-cylinder turbo common rail engine with 24 sequential push button gears and 650 mm wide tyres . I dont think so  At work
