Don't do it you'll regret it. HAve a read in the freelander section 1.8K series petrol engines are Garbage and will cost you a fortune in repairs. especially if you tow with it.

1.8k will tow no problem, it has more power than the two diesel engines but l-series and Td4 are more sensible towing machines, lower torque rev range.
You have to rev the k-series, so you can watch the fuel guage drop.
