Am I becoming paranoid?

I was driving along the other day in my FL2 thinking about all of the cars I have owned or have had has a company cars over the years going back to the early 70's and it suddenly struck me that FL2s are the only cars that I have had where I worry about things going wrong. Perhaps because of the experience of my family and others (or reading this forum?). I think it's a great car but whenever I get in and drive off I am mildly surprised that it is still working. Must be getting too old I suppose. Very Happy 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

IMO with lesser cars most peaple don't go on forums, it's just transport lol
The fl2 is a little addictive, and to get more a forum is a good top up 😂
Most peaple are quick to moan etc, and some only use a forum when they have a prob 🙉🙊🙈
So it can be doom and gloom on forums at times
My fl2 is by far the best and most reliable car I've had, I'am over50 that's a lot off cars 2008 xs

Once you've had problems every little clunk, rattle and squeak is amplified............. so just turn your hearing aid down, your stereo up and wait until you grind to a stop

all the off road abuse you give yours is probably the reason WHY you don't have diff problems................... all the components are getting a good workout instead of sitting idle like the rest of ours Laughing

My first LR was a D3 and it needed a whole new engine 2 months before the warranty ended, I'm about to take delivery of my 8th LR, 3rd Disco. I wouldn't drive anything else, I looked but there was only one car for me, the Discovery. There is only 2 LRs I've never taken to, my Evoque and DS.

Yes your paranoid. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Nothing wrong with an empty glass - just pour another whilst putting "another shrimp on the BBQ" overlooking a lovely sunset over the West Coast Beach! Think about that "nuts" whilst ya hanging on ya heated steering wheel in that "Bonnie" warm Scottish weather!! Whistle

Good thread with some nice banter.
My Freelander isn't the most unreliable car I have owned, that was a TR7 Laughing It IS the best car I have owned, I just look at any issues as character but that could be because I watched Herbie when I was younger or that I love the comfort or that I have a warranty, etc. Hopefully my relationship with Chuggaboom will be a long one.
Happy driving! Smile
