Having just bought my 2002 Freelander TD4 I have been generally sorting things out to bring it up to scratch. When I bought it, I was told that it had a 3month or 10000 miles warranty which was reassuring, but I was wondering what these type of casual (ie no paperwork) arrangements cover.

For example, I notice that the clutch slips ever so slightly under 'full beans' acceleration and there is a a slight whine coming from the rear when decelerating - both things didn't show up on my brief test drive before the sale. Has anyone had expereince in this area?

I am going to bung it into my local (& trusted) mechanic to give it a full service and MOT so are there any points I should ask him to look at in detail? Change all the oils, check bushes, etc?

id be surprised if warrenty means anything without a fight you need diff bearings doing and new clutch

make sure he changes crankcase breather filter, or even better fits the updated BMW version, there is a thread or two on here about it.

if there's no paperwork, its worth fook all, except the word of the salesman/mechanic

Fail. As a dealer he has a duty to ensure what he sells isn't going to fall apart within 6 months. You have a warranty, paperwork or not...See crock of **** thread.
