I am about to purchase a 1999 diesel freelander (5 door).
Should i be able to hear the turbo when driving ?
Is there any common faults that i should be looking out for ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated before some second hand car salesman gets this years holiday budget in his back poscket !

Briefly put about Freelanders,

Never buy one made before 2001, never buy a petrol engine because it will fail at 50,000miles (1.8 or 2.5 V6), and always have full main dealer service history. And pay for a RAC inspection.
