Hi Peeps

Just a quick question really but most people seem to have the HSE model appart from the extras you get over the s model,is the engine etc all the same on the 2.2td4 models

Thanks

Yes, all TD4 engines are the same between trim models other than the SD4

No terrain response though - on cars upto my11 Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints

I have an 07 s very pleased with it. Handled very well in the snow and ice we had, you don't need the terrain response if you can drive properly Took it up to Scotland at Xmas minus 10 and a foot of snow was no prob. I was the only one on the roads/hills where we were. 2007 TD4 S Zermat Silver, maual, panoramic sunroof, rear headrest entertainment system, towbar for trailer.

Well said that man.

Thanks you have just saved me 3200 pounds good sir,was looking at an s model with all the bits appart from the terrain response and and an xs with response ..But now looks like i am going with the s model with 19" alloys side steps,chrome mirror covers and chrome side indicator covers..Oh and its Black the best colour,thanks again for all the replies i will post pictures up within the next 7 days so you can give it the thumbs up or thumbs down Lol

We've got an S and it is v good, coped well in the snow. Don't worry about Terrain Response, it's for light weights. Also, with fewer electronic gizmos, there is less to go wrong on an S. Suggest you don't mention the dreaded 'Chrome' word on here by the way!

Thanks for the info, to be honest the vehicle is spot on apart from these bloody chrome wing mirror covers can live with them on the side of the indicators as you don't really notice it but deffo not on the wing mirrors...

My S is superb off road, standard rims, but GG AT2s, and it was bloody good with the standard tyres on also but I wouldn't take yours seriously off road with 19" low-pros. Just asking for knackered rims there.  We Don't Care About Pot Holes !!

Will not be taking it off road thats for sure but will prbably look at changing the wheels as i will be to paranoid to get the rims scratched,as i said nice its a nice car and i got superb price searched everywhere for one but price i got with over 2k worth of extras is just daft probably sell it on next yeart and wont even lose money..Just want bluetooth and rear dvd headrests and i will be a happy bunny then...

I didn't buy one because it had no cruise control. Even on the auto. Got a better spec manual with cc for the same price. If cruise control is not important to you then I'd go for the S.

But you can retro the Cruise control on an S.

10forcash charges roughly 75 quid including the steering wheel control.

If I had known then what I know now!
But actually I like the manual very much, AND it has the advantage of not being black, and having Terrain Response means I have less need to remember how to drive in snow.
So I made the right choice.

I am biased of course but I prefer the GS model. What Car? has the same conclusion. The TR dial is useful no matter how good you are, even LR experience day bloke said that. It has the nicest wheels IMO and has just the right amount of equipment for most. HSE owners have the most equipment but more to go wrong and things like heated seats are not necessary with cloth seats.

The best thing I did though was adding the cold climate pack for a mere £250. Heated windscreen and washer jets are a bloody god send in frosty and snowy weather. Front foglights are standard on GS upwards too and better audio system and cruise control. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
