TD4 Auto

Wife loves it and (dare i say it) its running mighty fine at mo, Shes now adapted to a bigger car and loves the auto, 34mpg. But she didnt say no when Disco mentioned

Could do with a bigger boot, 7 seats would be nice not seeing one every 3rd car would be nice and something of interest to read in LR mag cos they dont say much bout a freelander.

Just dont feel like messing about searching for another and chancing it when i have something that i know is ok (at the mo)

Auto disco 300tdi or TD5 which is best for about £5-£6k, what MPG would i get and are there any main issues similar to the shopping list you expect on a Freelander

Thanks

Hellloo!

Scraping the bottom of the barrel for a TD5 in that price range, but you could get a dammed good 300tdi which should do more mpg (30/32mpg) & easier to work on yourself!
Every one says avoid sunroofs as they leak but mine dont but it dunt rain 7 days a week here either,good service history a must,check swivels are'nt leaking, rear boot floor for rust,leaking pas pump,coolant leaks etc...

Go on ! Go for it you know you want a real Land Rover!:D
 
I traded my Freelander for a TD5 Discovery almost 4 years ago so can highly recommend it.

The Freelander never gave us any bother but I just never really took to it, the Disco is so much better. I used my father-in-laws Freelander for a trip this summer, still just doesn't do it for me.

Go for it.
 
Jasson2 is right u should get "a dammed good 300tdi" or a V8 if u like.
One of the last D1's with ES spec and with a low mileage, although they are 9/10 years old now u shouldn't have the major problem of rust so take your time and have a look around.
And yes, easy to work on not and not all of them leak oil, water, coolent etc but u must check for this.
