At present the Ford Group is Ford, Volvo, Mazda, Jaguar and Land Rover, so there some commonalities. Although Ford now want to sell off Land Rover & Jaguar .... another example of selling off the family silver ....

The Freelander is part of a shared technology platform within ford of europe called eucd , this means there are shared parts between freelander , new mondeo , smax , new galaxy and all volvo product the first being S80 . This does not mean the lowest common denominator but the best for everyone by reducing part cost because approx 1 million parts could be negotiated from suppliers . What this all means is that every part is engineered to the highest requirement , normally freelander , this actually means the mondeo for example is over engineered , items like the engine are specifically tailored for land rover for wading and operating angle. Hope this helps explain |

I'd like to 'third' Avtur and David's comments. 13K just rolled over on the clock, had the car since 22 Jan, yeh its had plenty problems, but still get a huge grin driving the thing, and even just sitting in traffic, the car gets so many looks, even from women. I try to convince myself the chicks are looking at me but, I suspect it is definately the car. |
