Hi Folks
Have just been looking at Y reg v6 freelander ES, Lovely motor 49,756 miles. full leather.
Thinking of buying, need to know any problems to look out for ? or faults:mad:
Looking forward to hearing some advise.:D
 
FFS Don't buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had one, so I know what I'm talking about. I've still got the overdraft.
If yer really want a gaylander, get a doosel one.
 
If you do choose make sure you set aside some cash for repairs. You may be fortunate and the car will provide many thousands of miles service, but on the other hand...

I've had this debate with my mates at the pub. Do I buy a brand new vehicle at say £35K OR do I buy a Disco 2 V8 for about 10 - 15K and set aside £20K for repairs over a 10 year period??

Obviously I can't afford either option at the mo, but food for thought. £20K would buy plenty of spares if necessary including a brand new engine / gearbox if required!!

I had the use of a V6 for a couple of years and drove it all the way to Greece and back from the UK. Only complaint is the 200 miles (ish) to a tank - had to refuel about 8 times where as I can do it on 3.5 / 4 in a disco diesel!!

Regards,

Steve
 
Doh!!

Beer's talking and I keep forgetting things before posting!!

If the worst happens and the engine fails - simply by a Rover 800 sterling for peanuts (less than £500) and transplant the engine :)

Regards,

Steve
 
Sounds like a good idea, mines had it's minor issues but not as many as you hear about with other models, does pretty well on fuel as well.
