They may be good to drive but the HGF issues scares away anyone with common sense.
Plus diesel is best.

never had one :scratching_chin:

they're faster, cleaner running, faster and don't suffer as many problems :)

the only ones you hear about on here are the bad 'uns that haven't been looked after.


look up the k series in elise and caterham 7's and you'll see what a gem of an engine it is.:cool:

interesting how the mentioned that the front wheel drive feeling would be something customers would be usd to as a selling point :doh: funny how things date so quick ,love them or hate them it was certainly a successful concept

The Freelander was aimed at "mondeo man". LR wanted to increase sales with a new vehicle to fit the market gap. Mondeo man is a typical family size car person who's buys front wheel drive cars. That person whould like the feeling of front wheel drive. They aimed the running costs like fool and servicing at the mondeo level. Later in life they could buy another Freelander or perhaps buy a bigger LR vehicle. All part of the big plan of growing the brand by increasing customer base and appeal to the wider market. LR never aimed to take sales away from the D2, P38 or tratter, although its reasonable to suggest some would buy a Freelander as peeps tend to prefer to stick with the same brand. Spend capacity changes throughout a life time or they may like the appeal of something else on offer. The Freelander was there to fill a market gap and it seems to have started a compact 4x4 market of it's own, which many other brands wanted to be part of. The annoying thing they had to contend with was LR got there first. Not just by chance, it was all planned.
