old rooster Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Reluctantly offering my Fourtrak for sale as I can't sell my other 4X4. It's a 2.8TDX SE, it's the rarer limited edition model and has all the bells and whistles, won't list them as you can come and see for yourself or ask anything else you want to know. It's 1993, 125k miles, VGC, 7 seater (fold down seats in rear) These are very sought after, the engines are used to convert Land Rovers for serious off roading (tells you a lot about Land Rovers then !) For shooting trips these things are ideal, take off sunroof so you can shoot from the top, rugged design, high and low range 4 wheel drive with freewheeling front hubs, electric 3 position suspension damping. Way ahead of it's time with a bullet proof engine that while having the grunt to pull you out of all kinds of sticky situations will still cruise at 70-80 down the motorway. It's a dark green metalic colour so blends in well if in the field. Need the space so I'm putting her up at just £2,950, a lower spec model the same age just sold at a local garage for £3,995 !!!

old rooster Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) It's got flared arches with wide tyres, K reg. I will get some pics when this blasted snow calms down a bit. Been out over the fields pigeon shooting (well that was the plan at least) today so needs a wash down. Forgot to mention it has a towbar with dual electrics, I'm gonna cry when this motor goes Bear with me and I'll sort it ASAP. Stood under a massive dutch barn for 5 minutes this morning as birds were flighting over the corner of it nicely, stoned one with my first shot of the day and it landed on the bl**dy roof and stuck, didn't get another bird on that flight line so had to set up elsewhere.

I'd keep it but seem to be having problems selling the Korando for some reason, they are great 4x4's as well but no one has heard of them so don't trust 'em much.

pete evans Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 lander when the fuel pump or the hydraulic clutch in your freelander breaks you could buy this car i had a freelander from new for three years and got to know roland and kevin at the service desk better than i would have liked you could hear the heart sink tone in their voice everytime i called up. i liked the car when it worked pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Paul - Looks like a bargain to me - a mate of mine paid £3500 for a similar one recently that had done more miles - i'd make you an offer if I wasn't running a Company Range Rover..!!

All the best Lander Ouch, have to sympathise with you if you've just got stuck with one of those, not known for their reliability. I'm not desperate to sell it, in the right place it will fetch £3,500, just thought I'd offer it to you lads for £2,950 first as a gesture. Not to worry, onwards and upwards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) hi what has the se model got extra to the el model?thanks Mine has the optional "Bol*ox to Tony Blair poster fitted as standard mate ;-) Also that special squiggly yellow thing on the number plate (which you can see in the picture) for fooling speed cameras. It only comes out in photos, can't be seen with the naked eye. Edited February 24, 2005 by old rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old rooster Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 ok mate-- if you dont want to answer questions seriously regarding a sale- why have you bothered to advertise it? Thought you were having a poke at it to be honest. Can't offer you definitive answers to the question as I don't have details of both although I've been looking through the Fourtrak catalogue I have here. Mine is a model 75 with 2765cc (2.8litre) Turbo Diesel Intercooler engine, here are the model description codes for the F70/80 series models. Eg F75RV-MBHTW 70 SWB with DL 2765 cc diesel engine 75 LWB with DL 2765 cc diesel engine 77 Utility with DL 2765 cc diesel engine 80 SWB with 3Y 1998 cc petrol engine 85 LWB with 3Y 1998 cc petrol engine 87 Utility with 3Y 1998 cc petrol engine R or L Steering wheel position, right or left V or none, V is hardtop, none is soft top or utility M or none, M is 5 speed, none is 4 speed B roof type, B is resin top, P is pickup/utility, none is other types of roof apart from resin top H trim specification, H is EL, D is DX, R is STD T is turbo charged motor W is destination market, W is European market, Q is Australian market, none is other markets. So mine is: F75RV-MBDTW Listed options in the catalogue of TDX over stock are: 3 stage adjustable damper (suspension) Central Door Locking Electric Front Windows Electric rear door release Electronic 4-wheel drive engage Electrically operated door mirrors Tilt adjustable steering column Headlamp washers Velour trim seats Wheel arch extensions Hope this is of some use, if you have further questions or wish me to list every feature in the catalogue for my TDX I'm happy to do that for you.

old rooster Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Rooster, a bit of an aside here, but looking at your photo's, I think youlive just round the corner from my mother in law. She's on Cappenham Close. Same area as you ? Blimey mate, you must be a real diamond knowing where your mother in law lives !!. I always used to keep well clear of mine, except when she flew over on her broomstick once a year so I could fit new spark plugs. Haven't heard of Cappenham Close, which town are we thinking of here ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
