Mine is currently off the road with a duff engine management unit... however I still don't regret buying it.
I paid a little over 7K for it a few years ago and have done over 70000 miles in it... it's probably worth a realistic 3.5K now, and has cost me very little to run, apart from normal servicing.
Sure, it's got a few clunks and very minor niggles, but it's beaten much more pricey 4x4s off-road, when we've been out shooting, and was absolutely faultless in the snow this winter.
Sadly, I need a bigger car as soon as I've got the money together, but given the chance I'd definitely have another Freelander for economy, fun and as a capable off-roader.
