Use the G4 for social, days out, holidays. Use a L/R 90 for work commute off roading. Use the wife's freelander 2 for social, shopping etc

G4 for social,show,gatherings and mild laning. Use a 1987 90 for everyday,towing,general running about and laning...particularly rougher lanes or checking out unknown lanes. And Karens Swift if we go out and theres more than us two. The othe two motors only have 4 seats between them. lol

I use mine as a daily driver! I find it so satisfying to drive and comfortable on all journeys, also great for long distance adventures and business trips.
That said - I've just bought a Golf GTI which I'm trying to use for more of the day-to-day miles as the G4 isn't always the most practical car for the city (and isn't the most inconspicuous!). I'm also trying to manage the mileage on the D3 (thinking of depreciation, wear & tear, supermarket car park dinks etc) so I'm trying to use the Golf more for errands and just shooting around from A to B.
I bought the G4 as my dream car though so still drive it whenever I can :D

I use mine as a daily driver...can't hide anywhere but I wouldn't own a G4 if I minded being noticed! Love it and can't afford to have another daily driver to insure 😱, especially with a 16 year old daughter ready for her own car!!!

Me, it's used daily, has 139K on the clock, just put two new BFG Km2's on the rear and is used for what it was designed to do, had 12 wounderful years with it, no major drama apart from head gasket last year, it's not on LPG and no I don't even think about the fuel bill.

Wife uses Tigger as her daily driver, despite me buying her a Hippo as a run around!
The advantage at the moment is I am using the Hippo as my Audi is in have major heart surgery yet again :-(

Only use mine for going to Newport - once a week, or the odd trips around the valleys. (Just don't see G4's around here)
Everyday runabout / workhorse is M reg. Pajero 2800.
Off to Polperro next weekend for the week and don't really want to take my G4, cause of the mileage !!
Pajero will probably get me there and back ??

The D3 gets a little bit of use, because it's such a nice place to be....
The D2....... Well those that know me, know that very rarely comes out of the garage !!!!!
As for the family hack. Mel has a Saab 93. Great motorway car, just eats the miles.
And I have a company Rocket ship..... I mean Astra van !!!!!!!!!! :Whistling:

Depending on weather conditions the G4 is a DD, especilly now that the roads are salt free- I don't mind rain, but don't drive it when they put salt on the roads.
We must drive them to keep them running fine!

Yes use the D2 G4 every day, mainly used for local drives going to work and the D4 now does the donkey work towing the caravan and long trips etc.

Hi all ,
The D3 is used every day by jude and the D2 sadly is sat on the drive waiting for the funds to get it a MOT and any other work that need to get back into ship shape
I run a 2.7 full fat 4motion VW Golf for my runs to work and back , I dont think the G4s would like being sat in a limestone quarry for 6 days a week
Happy driving all
Mark

Still in the process of bringing mine back to life after buying it from a less than reputable garage.
Spent over £2k on it already but lots of little niggles left (LPG is no more).
I use it for fun stuff and great for carting the pups around.

Martin,
How much did a head gasket set you back? Think mine might need doing soon.
|
By martin bisby - 20 Apr 2017
Just short of £2000, however that did include whilst the car was stripped down, new cam & followers, new oil pump, new water pump, new radiator, new A/C condenser and rad, coil packs and plug leads and plugs, and a prop shaft. The prop shaft wasn't noticed until everything was being put back together.
Regards
Martin

Seems fair for that amount of work.

Take it in turns between the big G4, wee G4 and the green machine

UPDATE.. I now drive a G4 Freelander 2 as my daily drive. Tigger is now only used for social and pleasure driving after many years of service.

Yes if my wife hasn't already taken it out!
Running around town for business- using her to tow my utility trailer or machinery. Mechanically sound- few spots of rust to work on, but having been without a Landrover for 17 years its been a treat coming back with my G4 Edn!

My V8 D2 is more of a reserve team and social motor. Normally use my 90 on a daily basis but its still making some horrible noises from the back axle so currently at the garage,so the "reserve" has had to come out

Split about even between my G4 RR and my '94 defender 110. But the family prefer the RR for distances. My wife's matiz only comes 3rd with about 2k miles a year.
