Freelander just had a facelift but I just read this article about an all-new Freelander in 2006 with some new AWD system. I posted the link below.

If Land Rover could concentrate on simple things, like stopping the windows spontaneously falling out, preventing constant water leaks etc... they might get somewhere.
Not going on strike at the drop of a hat would also be a bonus.

I have no idea what the new one is like, but the 3 year or so old one I used to use was an abomination of unreliable, low-quality, badly built, inefficiency which was unsatisfactory on tarmac and a complete disaster off road and from which parts frequently and spontaneously fell off.

For all the reasons above that is why halewood is getting the 2006 freelander. Halewood best plant in ford empire so some quality will be built in. l rover near bottom of jd power surveys should see increase in ratings for future freelander

I thought that you had left here.
It looks like you're back.
Are you now still a Moderator?
Are your hands still heavy?

Oh Sean, Sean, can you not read the dates on a post?
And I thought YOU had left here.
|
No.
No, No Dosh. I didn't read the date. You rather think that, when you read something new, it's new.
And no, No Dosh. I'm still here, clearly.
|
Clearly.
So it was a different Sean we received an email from, requesting that their account be removed then?

I don't know where you get the idea that Land Rover worker's strike at the drop of a hat !! the most recent industrial action at the solihul site was the first for 25 years.
I've had 4 Land Rovers now, 3 from new and never had a problem with any of them and i shall be putting my order in for the new freelander in 2006

We owned a Disco (a Y plate ex-demo one) for a car that cost over 24k at the time I was disappointed by the switchgear that appeared to be from a Montego/Maestro. Quite simply outclassed by other interiors (remember the original Discovery set the standard with its Conran interior) poorly made manual sunroof handles (grease all over the place).It did everything else well including the off roading bits it was meant to without breaking. When we sold it its paint still shone, all its computer bits worked but it just felt let down on detail. I have driven the latest version which is vastly superior in all the previously weak areas, if they get the Freelander right in the same way it deserves to sell.
