"...one of the Freelander’s doors did let in some water when it went paddling"

What a shame ...

I've never viewed the FL2 as a "soft roader", I always thought it was an "off roader"  ______________________

Id say most of that mud is from people jumping in and out with muddy boots

I agree with Chicken George dont Nissan make that mobile traffic jam the Micra. Its rained here for some time & the fields are well wet & I can assure you there's nought wrong with Emilys performance in the mud & I dont think I could spray clag up the front face of the door pocket without the door open. In fact you have to try hard to get the outside of the doors muddy. still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit
