Late 2000 ... I have one of the early ones
betterer than the kraut enjin IMHO
less to go wrong
Not sure what you mean ??? ...
I have a BMW TD4 with Auto on an X plate registered in December 2000
:clap2::hysterically_laughi Fair playHa ha! :deadhorse:
S.
Series Two or MY01
MY - Model Year
The Series Two was the model for 2001, and a lot of work was done to improve the Freelander. Firstly all new specification levels were announced, these were S, GS and ES.
The new Freelanders are instantly recognisable by the clear front indicator lenses, but amber side repeater lenses.......
.......So it came out with the 2001 model year!
I have all those things,
TD4 engine, Steptronic Auto, Bigger Vented discs and calipers, clear lenses, "S" trim badge on side ..etc etc.
VIN beginning with A etc tec.
All on an X plate 5door registered in December 2000
- which is regarded as the Model Year 2001
Everything on it relates to the 2001 model when I buy spares
It has always worried me when I read the horror stories that others have with newer TD4s
Though I have had my fair share of issues
One plus is that the being pre Y reg (March 2001) .. the Auto is only around £200 for Tax Disc being a PLG rather than taxed on the emissions which tip the Auto into one of the much higher categories with the Y plate onwards.
