Hello! I have a couple of questions for you, since I like this car and am considering buying it. Tell me what the weakest points are, what repairs have been made. Is it true that the cardan coupling on the rear drive is very weak and unreliable, as many say, with larger diameter wheels, how did it perform under load?
To this day, I have never had any problems with the rear axle. on the other hand I had to change the front left universal joint three times. That's it! with a +30mm lift, disconnected swaybar, and 235 75 R15 tires it goes almost everywhere.
This generation of this Freelander 1 has a 116 hp BMW engine, which is not enough in delicate situations. I suggest buying a Freelander 2 with a diesel engine of at least 150 hp.
Indeed, as you have just noticed, the time it took is quite substantial given the angle of the climb. The TC ECU tries different algorithm scenarios one by one until it finds the correct braking pulse intervals needed for the current situation. Also look at 7:20 to 7:26 where the TC ended up on its limit. Because the right rear wheel was stuck in a deep crevice Finally, the best demonstration is at 8:00 and illustrates well how the TC transfers energy to the wheels having the best contact with the ground.
Very nice. Greetings from Turkey! 🇹🇷
Thanks a lot 👍
So here we can see a Freelander in its natural habitat

Is your freelander tuned or any performance parts added
Just 2in lifted : see the begining of this vid : m.ruclips.net/video/ldsUajgUWko/видео.html
Well that was pretty cool!
Thank you
Glad you liked it.
You can also watch the "Disco starts where the Hippo stops"
Manual or automatic gearbox? Nice video
It's auto
Thanks 👍
is this the normal time for TC to engage? @ 2:31

@@x5or what about the clutch? does it withstand the abuse?
@@NickAlepoudellis it's the torque converter instead.
The Freelander is fitted with an auto gearbox
@@x5or makes sense ;)
Impressive. This Freelander is stock car ? No custom changes were made in traction control ?
Nothing at all☝purely stock
Just 2" lifted
@@x5or Thanks ! Great car.
If this was me off road in UK they would be police helicopter above me in 20 mins from people snitching hahahaha
I hope at least you liked it. it is quite possible that the police would like to exchange your hippo for their helicopter 😉
@@x5or no chance it's 2006 HSE 110k miles 🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍

Thanks
Nevada kid!!
Yes! It awakens in me the childhood memories engraved by the famous Ennio Morricone.
Not bad at all
He fights as he can 😉
