I'm on my 3rd Freelander 1 TD4 this year! Had a 2003 Commercial, which I parted with in January after buying a 2005 SE 5door, that was written off on 6th June, when a 78 year old man driving a Range Rover Evoque, fell asleep at the wheel while on the other side of the road, coming towards me, hit me head on. Luckily I only had broken ribs from the seat belt!! In July I bought a 2004 5 dr HSE, which has done 111k miles.

Blinking Ek, if the impact was bad enough for the belts to break your ribs, sounds like the car did a good job of keeping you alive!I'm on my 3rd Freelander 1 TD4 this year!

Took about 6 weeks for the bruising to disappear. Yes, I reckon I was quite lucky, I could open my door and get out. The guy in the Evoque had to have his door removed by the Fire Brigade to get him out.

On my first FL2, a late 2008 TD4 SE, which I bought last July with an engine misfire, but it's been going from one issue to next ever since.
When it's driving, it's lovely, I just need to undo the incompetence of a previous spanner monkey, or just monkey from what I'm finding out as I go along.
