Land Rover Freelander in general

Landrover Freelander 2L TD4 55' plate commercial. Cost £7999 + VAT Having heard the bad press of the freelander i was very reluctant to even view this vehicle when my girl friend spotted this at our Local stratstone dealer. But it did tick all the requirements i needed for a work vehicle. Good load space in the back. ( it doesnt differ in praticallity to my old Renault Kangoo van) Able to tow a decent sized trailer. (towing weight 2000kg) Good offroad reports Looks the business Great MPG, i had 38mpg off road ing and can get 41mpg if being ultra careful And girlfiend liked it!!! Oh ...  Read the complete review

Now that I have a family & also need to carry around computer boxes, I wanted something larger that could also protect the 9pts on my licence! I had 3 requirements: 1. Protection from car park damage 2. Good for loading boxes 3. Reasonable mpg The TD4 matched all these requirements. Land Rover dealers seem to be a little better than the run of the mill. They take a little more care & treat you well. They went out of their way to let me drive the car on my own & I borrowed all 3 engine types (1.8, TD4 & V6) to find which one I liked. Each time I took the car away for a half day, with no pressures. The car arrived on time & the hand ...  Read the complete review

With its high profile adverts set as playful animals on the African Plains, the Freelander has enjoyed a very modern and fun filled birth into the lives of many Land Rove owners. True, it is a very nice looking, if somewhat sporty car, that looks like its built to go "offroad" in some ferocious conditions. Yet it is its urban life that seems to let it down.

With its hybrid looks between offroader and car, it appeals to many type of people. in fact, it has won a string of awards ...  Read the complete review

I have a diesel Freelander (over two years old). I am a high mileage user, and have clocked up nearly 60,000 miles already. The Freelander is great. I love driving it, its comfy, safe, reliable (just about). I just want to point out that the maintenace costs came as a big surprise to me. Like all new cars, for virtually all the work, you must go to Landrover Dealers, fair enough, we all know this. At the time I bought mine, there were no good deals. I paid for finance etc. Now you can get free insurance, some free servicing, some interest free finance, making them a lot more affordable. Don't forget the extras, especially if you plan to use ...  Read the complete review

Firstly i would like to explain my situation, i currently work for a Lanrover dealship in the Midlands, i work in the after sales side, therefore i am constantly in and out of Freelanders of all ages, models and engine options. The Freelander concept is basically a good one, the cars are designed as a road car which has excellent four wheel drive capabilities. these 4x4 features still make it the best in class. The build quality and engine reliabilty is what lets this car down. Everyday i see car after car come in with the same problems, rear door seals, headgaskets and engines on the 1.8i, anti roll bar links etc etc, i am sure all the freelander owners out there ...  Read the complete review
