Some is true, a lot is just plain crap!

A very interesting article, not really all that far wrong. Obviously there is some exaggeration there but not as much as we might hope.

Interesting article, but for a more accurate story of the vehicle's development, you'd be better off going to:
Austin Rover Online and clicking on "Freelander" in the left hand column.

It may have had its inaccuracies, but at least it doesn't delve into the realms of fantasy

I had to chuckle at......
"The Rover 1.8 and 2.5 V6 petrol engines were designed by Satan and assembled by monkeys"
And
" child restraint anchor was fitted upside down and may come off in use"

We all know landrover products especially the early Freelander have their reliability and quality issues but this report has too many inaccuracies and items that are just plain wrong for it to be of any value to the prospective buyer or owner. Making statements about fundamental engineering principles and getting it wrong makes everything else in the article open to question regardless of it's accuracy.

True that. Spotted many mistakes which were more opinion rather than fact.

Last time I was there they mostly drove Yank tanks!
But yes, reading carefully I agree!

True... and they do love a tricked out, big-engined ute!
