Land Rover Freelander 2
Saturday, September 27, 2008
Those who are looking for a Land Rover, must start at Freelander review. The web page reviews Land Rover Freelander 2 - bigger, better, pricier Freelander, new, with not a single significant part carried over from the old one. Prices start at little more than old-model five-door money - there are no three-doors this time - but peak at well over £30,000, which places the Freelander 2 into BMW X3 territory. One reason for the upsizing is the US market, where - incredibly - the more corpulent potential buyers just wouldn't fit in the old model.
The powerful dream Land Rover is front drive but it can head rearwards when needed. Instead of a viscous coupling, though, the Freelander 2 uses a Haldex multi-plate clutch operated by hydraulic pressure. It's pre-loaded as soon as the engine starts, to ensure there's some rear-wheel drive straight away, thus preventing a spin and a chirp from the front wheels if you move off smartly. If needed on the move, rear-wheel drive can come back into play in just 150 milliseconds or within 15 degrees of a front wheel's slip rotation.
Just going through the review made me think what it feel like driving this powerful Freelander.

My blogs are a resource for my writings. More often, I blog informally, sharing impressions, generating ideas to see how they invoke reactions, keeping track of others’ work in the fields of my interest, or simply ranting or pointing out things that come to my attention.
Also, I use blogging as a platform to prune ideas. This is where I meet others and share experiences. “I am neither geek, nor nerd, I am not a hacker, a phreaker, a programmer or any variety of technoid dweeb.”
