But the gearbox needs some work, when starting from cold the gears don't engage, let the car idle for a few mins and all the gears work fine. I was hoping that changing the filter might cure the problem,
but it made no difference.

 

I had the same problem with every C6 box in cars that were parked up for a while.

Just driving that sumbitch regularly will cure it. It always went away on it's own.

If anyone is looking for Shitefest transport and accommodation you could do a lot worse than this delightful pairing.

I'm very tempted myself, if I could get them in through the front door I'd have them in the living room.

I had one of those, in silver and with the V6 too.

 

It wasn't immaculate.  Oh no.

 

But you could see the ground through the inner sill while you were revving the nuts out of the Busso.  Gr9 when the Alfa Experience* gave vertigo symptoms.

This will be the Holy Grail of collectable Freelanders in 20 years , especially if it's still got a rear prop.

 

Not sure about the sellers assertion that it's got a Conran designed interior, that's one for the Bullshit facts thread.

 

I reckon it looks fantastic!  That green!  Those seats!  Those hernias.  

 

That Land Rover badge makes it instant classic* once into the second decade of life. Similar to the MG badge law

Terence Conran?  I thought that was Discovery 1, not Freelander.

 

Nowt in the ARonline write-up.  And Keith surely would have mentioned that fact*

Indeed, it's an easy mistake to make.

 

The Freelander interior was actually designed by recent Mickey Warner award recipient, Terry Conlon.

He designed it in his spare time a few years ago, before he had all his food service provision responsibilities.
