        Welcome to the Swedish Land Rover Owners Club’s Forum :D

        I suggest you bring a good GPS with Swedish maps and program it to avoid motorways and highways. Then you will find many small nice country side roads.

              Hi Jean-Francois!

              My wife and I did a similar trip last year but in our Jaguar. Now when we got our Freelander, we wish that we had gone in the LR instead. Roads north of Bergslagen is not suitable for a Jag. :wink:

              Bild

              However I would like to advise you go via Inlandsvägen

              Bild

              And the very reason to this advise is that you are facing about 2200 km in front of you. Inlandsvägen is breathtaking road with views that will last for many years

              You will pas places like Östersund

              Bild

              Bild

              Kalixriver

              Bild

              Etc etc. I’m sure that other members from North of Sweden will contribute with guides.

              Bon Voyage

                Bon soir

                I live in the mid/south-west of Sweden and close to the "inlandsvägen" #26.

                If you pass us you can try my offroad course, I have 4 LRs see below in signature, n stay overnight and I can advice a nice route north. I drive almost every year north to Härjedalen some 800kms from me. We always take the inlandsvägen and turn north west at Vänern driving cloose to the Norwegian border to Funäsdalen using road #26 or 45 or 62 (all nice).

                Suggest that from Funäsdalen turn west to Röros and go North to the Polar Circle and from there on it is nice where ever you go.

                My place (sorry it is in Swedish): http://www.ullaredsgarden.com, click the Land Rover link.

                Routing Google maps: Westbound Bohuslän.

                For making the most during driving, a little tip I practice in Sweden and UK. Thats where I go most.

                Get a GPS with maps, drive motorway to make some distace but when you feel like it turn off the motorway and select on the GPS "avoid/no motorway and just go on. It’s that simple.

                You will get to see nice places and still make progress without getting lost and use expensive fuel. Stop often and remember the trip will take Landy-time to finish. No stress. Keep on Rovering.

                Adieu mes amis.

                  my trip is simple south to north and ……north to south :D

                  you have a very well french and amazing because it’s very old french

                  "Monseigneur " it’s a most important person in 17century’s

                  "Monsieur" it’s enough

                  but at least you know something in french , it’s not my case in swedish, it’s also difficult for me in english

                  I tell you something when we know a bit more

                      [quote="Tord_Lj"]Bon soir

                      good I have also a place to sleep when we arrive in boat

                      I take the adress

                      I have visit your site , you like Serie’s no

                      in france there is a forum and a club special serie

                      http://le-temps-des-series.com/ (the time of series)

                      and a generalist

                      http://www.landmania.com/

                      Have you got big gathering in sweden

                      in france there is two big gathering (about 800vehicles): "landmania"in may

                      and the "french national" in may too

                      and gathering special series by the club "le temps des series"

                      do you think that in gps for road , with map of sweden , littles pists are indicate on

                      we don’t have this sort of gps , because in morocco, in the desert , a gps for boat , are enough , and we take some book special, with a lot of waypoints

                      maybe we buy another gps , but we have too two front shocks absorber to change

                      and I think the cost of diesel is most expensive in sweden no?

                      in france , between 1.18€, at supermarket and 1.30€ at TOTAL

                      have you ever go in the extrem north of Norge? around(Lebesby,gamvik,Lakselv,karasjok, tana …..) there is somethings to see here,

                        We will have a big Land Rover meeting the weekend from July 31 until August 3.

                        The meeting will be close to Falun, click here for a map.

                        It would be nice if you would pass there either on your way north or south. More information in English will come closer to the summer. It will be a weekend full of activities for both young and older Land Rover friends :P

                        And YES! There is a lot of nice places in the northern parts of Norway!

                          I am going there, so I can be your guide…

                          Yes, I do favour Series and maybe the 110/90, I think when the cam belt came (-85) it all went wrong.

                          You can park the Td5 a bit from my house out of sight :wink: .

                          Au revoir (my son of 11 studies french and is quite good at it).

                              not that on the TD5 engine , the timing belt it’s a chain , but it’s wrong that the engine are pilot by electronic, and the the system of injection it’s very complicate with this electric pump in the tanker , for example

                              me too I prefer old land but my wife would like a land recent , and with not many kms

                              my 110 21/4diesel , is a good vehicle, not rapid , but it has 310000kms , with a big refection , of motor and gearbox , at 280000kms (with many problem , the timing chain and the adjust, of them and the injection pump ), but now , is smoke a bit , but it’s running :lol:

                              and my last , the 109 I have find it in a barn , with a spring broken , and just with a new ignition , it was start , it not realy finish , but a the final , it will be a copy of the land of the "Mission Ténéré", Berliet adventure in sahara, in 1959

                              see you later ,

                              and for me can you tell me how do you say in swedish

                              hello

                              good bye

                              and other thing…

                                You are so right.

                                For me the final confirmation that I am right regarding Series is that the Td5 has gone back to the chain (the only better thing is geardriven…).

                                My friend gavu up on Td5 when the engine flywheel went to pieces (well known fault on the early ones) at 180000kms, it was a 110CSW Td5 -00.

                                I’ll save a good used diesel injection pump for your Series, you can have it if you make it to my farm.

                                My Landys have developed a bit personally:

                                88HT SIII 2 1/4 Diesel – The farm tractor and offroad beast.

                                88HT SIIa V8 3.5 Carb -65… – For FUN.

                                110HT 2 1/4 Petrol – Roomy, comfy yet simple.

                                100 Disco 1 200 V8 3.5 EFi – Luxury at a economy level.

                                As you can see most parts are interchangeable between at least 2 Landys… Important issue as they all break down constantly.

                                  Good evening.

                                  I would like to answer de French LR drivers on your Forum, because we travel the same period
                                  in 5 weeks through Sweden – North Cape- Norway back to Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.

                                  We travel with two couples and our RRange Rover Classics, RR ’94 4.6 l V8 (mostly dayly used and for tours)
                                  and a (French) RR’93 200tdi (used for greenlaning etc.)

                                  We take our dogs with us, a liver Curly Coated retriever ( born in Norway , with a Norwegian
                                  mother and a Finnish father), a black Labrador and a Dutch Retriever , race Drentse Patrijs.

                                  We wave tips and idea, and are plannindg a daytrip (or some more) in the region with
                                  the High Coast, above Stockholm. We have contact with Christel from the SLRK.

                                  Perhaps we can send e-mails, meet eachother in Sweden, travel (some days) together,
                                  make daytrips and have a drink (we also bring French wine).
