Hello There,
Im New!!
Picked up our X Reg Freelander with only 26K on the clock last night.
3 door, with leather and all the usual stuff.
Dealer (not land rover) said to bring it back on mnday as ABS light was on all the time. Drove it home, my wife went to work, (4 miles) rang me on the way back from work saying that the ABS, the Traction Control and Hill Decent lights were all on.
I have read a few posts on here explaining what this fault is, usually an ABS sensor, not to worried as garage have said they will sort it.
Should I be worried???
The car has only done 26K, is absolutely immaculate, and I mean like brand new, no bonnet chips, no nothing, has a more than full service history and it drives like brand new.
Since coming to this forum I have read nothing but negative stuff regarding the 1.8 engine.
Are the problems more likely to happen on a high mileage vehicle and should my almost just run in 26k be OK?
I know its the "how long is a piece of string question" but my vehicle is genuinely like brand new, are the well documented problems with the 1.8 engine in every vehicle?
Surely every 1.8 freelander cant have all these problems as there would be law suits galore etc.
Thanks for reading my post and I genuinely hope not to have to visit here to often (as in only when problems arise)!!!
ps on a serious note, my wife is a child minder and we bought it for her to ferry loads of kids around in and as such some serious, genuine advice would be really appreciated, as we have a 7 day money back guarantee with the garage we bought it from, as long as we dont do over 500 miles in 7 days, we can take it back no questions asked!
Thanks all
Michael
