Or a hummer of course....

I think the only car to deviate from the generalised Jeep styling was the LM002. Closest modern example of evolutionary styling would be the Evoque.

Am very surprised nobody else has tried this option. Better fuel economy. And good tread for light off road use. Am I giving away the best kept secret among Freelander owners?

Just to update folks. I'm looking at older model vehicles. Its a second car. Have previously had a 57 plate disco xs and loved it. If I could afford, this would be the choice but cash doesn't allow anything over £3.5k and I do like older models as they have more character. If I could afford a good J40 that would be a dream but they go for huge money in the UK. So its either a disco, LC, shogun, or trooper.

Appreciate all the feedback folks. Cars I'm looking at are older models. Drove LC's of all ages in Oz and many of them were monster milers with up to 500K kms on the clock. Am guessing parts availability will be better over here on the Disco though.

Okay, here's the quandary. After my love affair with a 98 plate diesel Freelander, I am opting for something bigger. After the fun of Landy ownership I am contemplating a swap to a Toyota and their legendary reliability. My heart still lies with the Brit option though. Yes the Disco will keep going regardless of bits dropping off, but the jap tank will do so without shedding bits. You thoughts please. Paul

Maybe owners will love them a little more once bits start dropping off. I really love my Freelander...

Td4 vs L-series. Slow,reliable and a doddle to fix works with me. The L-series is like old faithful. I bought a Land Rover for the fun, not refinement.

Has anyone else tried swapping the 215/65/R16 tyres for a 75 profile. Much cheaper, 12mm tread depth, reinforced, transit commercial tyres. They look much better too and don't rub at any angle. Only difference I noticed was the extra inch climb into the car. Win, win??
