Hi Folks,
Just been offered an '02 TD4 freelander in swap for my 2WD runabout. I know from reading posts here that Landy die hards don't have much time for them , but are they really a dog ?

I'm quite tempted to be honest, but if it's going to end up costing me a bomb I'll walk away.

Cheers

if you're going for a freelander, the td4 is the one to go for.

I bought mine 3 years ago at 36k, now has 84k on the clock. Really happy with it, wouldn't change it.

depends what you want it for - mines mainly road, little bit of site work and greenlaning. extreme mud plugging isn't it's thing, but a bit of light off road is fine.

(Obviously look for the normal things, vcu, ird, leak in boot etc)
good luck.

We have a td4, as a road car it takes some beating, near40mpg, reliable, and it IS a landrover, says so on the badge:behindsofa:

I thought about about buying the missus a td4 freelander.




























Then I woke up and realised it was all a bad dream.
































In all seriousness I have thought about getting one for the missus. A td4 is the one I'd go for.

I say go for it.

To be honest after reading all the drive train issues I have knocked the idea on the head. Rather have a Vitara. Oops, did I say that out loud ? :doh:
