[Wanted] FL2 Wanted.

A guy I work with is looking for a FL2 HSE manual with FSH for between 11-15k, wants one to tow a caravan.

He has a Nissan juke/tekna which is now up for sale, or strike a deal? 2014 Audi A4 Avant - Dont like it !

Bearing in mind the reported clutch problems with the manuals, wouldn't he be better with an auto for towing? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

England 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

From a long-term caravanner with various 4*4s and "ordinary" cars - don't go for a manual! Autos were made for towing and autos were also made for diesel engines. The combination of automatic diesel Freelander with a caravan brings a warm fuzzy feeling to all except odd farming Yorkies! Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

"what cutch problems, I had 2 manuals for 3 years, and 60k miles, no issues."

Not doubting you at all but on the same hand, my Dad has smoked for 70 years and hasn't had lung cancer but you won't hear people saying "what smoking problems?". Whistle

Click 'search', type 'clutch problem', click 'search' again.

Premature clutch slip must be about the most common reported problem on manual models. Add towing a caravan into the equation and I'm sure it will make things worse.

Here's just a small selection;

Get the Auto if towing, reversing uphill will soon have the clutch smelling, its to higher gear for intricate reverse manoeuvres.
