Class me as a Newbie!

Hello All,

I haven't been on here for about 3 or 4 years so thought I'd come back as im picking up my new car Wednesday.

I just sold my 54 Plate Astra SRi yesterday... Less than 2 days on ebay which isn't too bad lol

I am now waiting to pick-up my new motor on Wednesday, 2009 Land Rover Freelander 2. Unsure what Mods I can do yet thought.

Its does 42.8 MPG against the 35.9 MPG of my Astra,
Its £220 per year tax against £240 of my Astra,
Insurance is the same.... Its Madd!!

thats one hell of a change!

I know its one hell of a change but being a Bus & Coach driver, I love the ride height of the freelander, and it is like driving pure luxury compared the Astra...

Ok its sluggish at 0 - 60 in 10.9 Secs.. but am sure I could do something with that... let alone being able to do a bit of offroading lol

Thanks

Depends how far you wanna go... as freelanders go.. the freelander 2 is pretty capable. what engine is in it? As far as mods.

Some nice offroad wheels and all terrains
snorkel fitted
light bar
a nice exhaust system to get rid of some of the boxes
and a map will see a tidy little power increase and better fuel..

other than that some guard on it to protect the lights and underneath and if you dont plan to tow sack the tow bar off <!-- s;-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;-) -->

Yeah, I've looked into the Freelander 2 and it has good reviews on and off road... Its a 2.2 TD4 e Engine, with 160 BHP

I'm looking at some General Grabber AT Tyres which are £500 ish,
Unfortunately you can't buy a snorkel for the FL2,
I've also looked into a remap, bumping it too 190BHP

I was going to keep the tow bar, purely for people driving into me reasons lol

Oh and some window tints... and maybe the standard spoiler...

Welcome back Chris mate let me know when you wanna get it booked in. Looks proper tidy
