    Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2014 - opinions?

    1 month review, thanks for the heads-up about the balance shaft. Fingers crossed it carries on with only minor problems as it's a fantastic car! Really surprised despite knowing what I was going into. Can fit 3 full sized pallets in the back which is perfect as had to pick 10 up for our wood...

    What have you done to your car today?

    Just bought a 2014 Outlander GX4 a month ago, and fitted an update for the sat nav, an SD Card full of my music, and some wind deflectors. So far, so good.

    Wind deflectors

    i had them on my A3, i have an Outlander and just fitted some because i can open the window a bit in the rain. Helps me keep a clear head with fresh air.

    This Instant And Moment - 2024!

    Interesting weekend and week. I'm supposed to be working but system has been down since last week so nothing to do except sit and wait. In the mean time I bought a car and sorted out some building stuff. :D

    Do you charge your children "keep" or rent? Do/did you pay it yourself?

    Paid it since i've had a job. Had jobs ever since i was about 12. A) interest rates were higher in the 80's relatively and my family struggled so hard with my parents working split shifts as couldn't afford babysitters. B) Used to lend them money if needed and they ALWAYS paid it back even if...

    Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2014 - opinions?

    Already bought it. Ah well. Another mistake that's going to cost me. It's not clattery like bag of spanner's, just clattery in the usual diesel way.

    Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2014 - opinions?

    I've read about that and from what I can gather it's because people don't change the fluids quite as often as should, particularly transmission fluid. I think the guy whose selling it seems genuine because he's sticking a fresh MOT on which ID'ed a tyre as an advisory with the another ok for a...

Just saw a squirrel go into the loft so got to sort that as well... And the pheasants and the foxes and the...

    Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2014 - opinions?

    Agreed to buy it as it looks mint and has the service history to go with it, both keys, drives well and the space inside with seats down is decent. Issue of it pulling left slightly but tyre looked flatter than the others. Blew it up and owner drove it again and he said it's fine now but if it...

    Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2014 - opinions?

    Interior space is similar to a Kodiaq. This was an automatic and seemed ok. Seemed very well serviced. At least half the tax of a Freelander 2/Discovery. Plus it comes with a towbar and 2t ability. It's cheaper than equivalent Kodiaq's and Freelander 2's. This was a wild card I'd never...

    Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2014 - opinions?

    This is a 2.2 diesel, with 7 seats. But when putting seats down it had plenty of space. Main uses will be driving in all weathers, snow, rain, ice etc up and down steep hills, plus motorway work. Seems ideal and only £180 a year tax.

    Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2014 - opinions?

    Been searching and looking at Kodiaq's and Freelander 2's but came across one of these on our search. Spacey, well specced, well built, drove well. Bit barge like if chucking it around corners but you don't buy it for that. Had adjustable 2WD/part 4WD/4WD modes and just seems good. Anything to...

    Freelander 2 any good?

    Cheers to everyone for the heads-up about the Discovery Sport as that seems a better car with less problems.

    Freelander 2 any good?

    Think 25° decline for 100m then 25° incline for about 50m (reverse that to leave) down a single track road so you can't build speed up to get back up. Most cars in last 10yrs seem to be Haldex. It might work but if not we're leaving it at the bottom of 2 big hills until we can get it out lol...

    Freelander 2 any good?

    Because it's got to be 4x4 or we can never leave home if the weather turns bad as where we live now is single track lanes and steep hills for 2miles before you get to a decent two way road. Skoda Kodiaq is our main goal, but we need another car and this was a thought. I knew Freelander ended...

    Freelander 2 any good?

    We've looked at loads and the Skoda Kodiaq is the ultimate but expensive. This is up for £12k and the fiance wants it. She wanted a pick-up truck but saw this and was really drawn to it on a forecourt. I'm 50/50 on it but it is very nice and being the HSE model is nice.

    Freelander 2 any good?

    Looking at a 2014 SD4 HSE. Looks very tidy. Had a rear diff replaced last year. Owners opinions? Reviews say Freelander 2 is a vast improvement on Freelander 1.

    Getting more and more used to living in Wales. Gotten used to listening to the Owls at night and the stream that runs next to our garden. Even gotten used to the single lanes and tractors lol. Had a funny moment other day when i needed a headlight bulb for my A3 (still doing 60+mpg consistently...

    UK Government set to ban disposable vapes

    Well duh lol. I can't believe it's taking the government so long to catch up with the obvious waste and obvious youth issues.... And I thought people wanted to save the planet but are indoctrinated into believing these are better. If society is anything to go by there'll be no sustainable...
