I just bought my Freelander TD4 for €250, with a dead clutch, but it's an auto box, an hour later, box drained, a litre of brown muck came out, 3 litres of ATF, and it's a runner. I'm still in shock.
RIP Freelander2

Where did you buy it from?
Via a website?Probably from one of those well-known mechanical geniuses - a frenchman...

No, off an English guy in France on FB Marketplace, had been on for a fortnight, I'm a marine mechanic, but don't really know automatic transmissions, so thought it was worth a gamble at that price.Probably from one of those well-known mechanical geniuses - a frenchman...

Another recommendation for Marketplace like Grumpy lovingly said

It's a massive job the price I said included labour costs but reading what else is wrong there will be alot of money to spend on it.

Are you the same Barking Mat from the mig welding forum? If so, welcome to the mad world of Landyzone
Got a lift to the car earlier and took the pics - any advice on what ball park I could list it for on eBay or marketplace in its current state?

I weren't wrong then was I
On the bright side, you're well on the way to being able to sell it on here

If it was an auto with free shipping, I might be interested in it as a parts car. From your pics, its obviously in far worse condition than my F1 parts car heap, but there must be some decent bits on it.
How did you ever pass a driving test? You're not an Uber driver by chance?
I blame the wife

I take it, it was in better condition when you took it over. You married the wrong sister
We’ve had it 10 years and yes we were lucky to get it off my sis in law at the price we did and they have regretted it since as have been through many cars since and had problem after problem.I take it, it was in better condition when you took it over. You married the wrong sister

Its a bit of a snotter on the bodywork, plus the mechanical issues. I'd ask 750 or set a reserve of £500 and see how far an auction goes. Scrap man would give you about £500 on a good day
It’s on eBay and market place so see how it goes.
