i used a FL2 last year a few days to get to work, although my brother picked me up in his series 1 the first few days as my motor was literally buried. www.duckworthparts.co.uk

I was with mine, had an XS TD4e which was nippy and economical compared to any other LR product

But found in deeper snow i couldn't get enough 'push' from the rear. We are talking through fresh snow in the outside lane of dual cabbageways that ewas over 18" deep so was causing the front to ride up sometimes which felt scarey as poo sometimes

Just wish it was a propper diff that would lock like the other LR's designed to do some off road work

when they brought out the 2wd version i thought they were just selling off ones with failed IRD's
