this is the best freelander off road video i have seen, this video showly proves that freelanders are a capable off roader. i own one myself and the amount of piss takes i get from people saying that freelanders cant go off road.
@gerv55 It's a tow strap attached to the front towing eye, and pulled back and tied to the roof bars. Much easier to use if you get stuck in water, and don't want to paddle and grovel in water to connect the tow strap
@disturbed1965 Makes sense. Looking into one of these but the reviews seemed pretty varied, a couple complain that the power steering is too heavy when at low speeds, then again the fifth gear review of the freelander 2 states that the steering is "still" too light which seems to indicate the steering in the original is pretty light (which id prefer).
Any issues with wind noise or engine noise (assuming its a diesel from the vid) and how do you find the steering when manouvering?
@gerv55 Mines a FL1, I've had it from new, and have done over 79,000 miles. I think it is great, and it has had quite a battering over the years as you can from my videos, but it is still just like new. It is a bit noisier than an ordinary saloon, but mine is the 3 door which is noisier than the 5 due to the roof. It isn't uncomfortably noisy. I have no complaints about steering weight.
gaylander???looks pretty damn capable for a poof lol
have a freelander myself and it really does shock folk just how good it is. just a pity the options are not as good as they are for defenders and discos. would use one in an rtv if i could find decent recovery points for them. be good to show up the defenders lol
Oh, and let me add - great to see all the other new Landrovers out there - the Disco 3s and all. Brilliant top see these used for that they were MADE for.
This video brings a tear to my eye! I miss off roading. I miss my Defender and my Freelander. I miss winching. I miss towing and kinetic pulls. Especially with all this bloody snow outside... :(
I had to have both the front and rear tracking adjusted, but other than that, it was fine. It does have a sump guard, rear guard, rock sliderz and a 40mm lift though!
Glad to see I'm not the only one to take a freelander to play in the mud. People just don't realise how good they are

I'm surprised you got that far, Freelander warranty is VOID if you take it off road...

@disturbed4x4 What tires did you use? It is really wet and muddy and for my experience with freelander made all the difference!
