Brakes thing sounds a little dodgey but more to the point why has it be sitting around for so long and not even been test driven by others. What have other buyers spotted and left it alone for? Having bought a 99 1.8 6 months ago make sure you get garage to put in writing that they will cover...

w1nd6urfa, I changed dash switch (£20 down drain) only to find that it made no difference and it was the resistor which you identified correctly. Got my Haynes manual out and decided it looked a bit too fiddly to change and got a local LR specialist to do job. Somewhere on forum there is a...

Wife has the same age, make and model as yours and I have only been in situation once where HDC and TC control have come into play.

Wife has got 98 model same as yours which had HG @30k, new cylinder head at 40k, new engine @ 55k, HG @ 80K all done under warranty at main dealer before we bought it earlier this year. Needless to say it was bought for a bargain price as history put most sane people off and people looking at...

Thanks for the tips

From recent irrating experience myself, tread very carefully and investment in an independent check is vital unless you are experienced mechanic. After buying a same aged Freelander as yourself, with full maindealer service history and having had new cylinder head a year ago after normal...

Think I may know the answer from other threads already but would appreciate a little help with our used Freelander which we have just purchased ! My wife picked up her 98 Freealnder 1.8XEi on Sunday after being MOT'd day before (no problems) and oil and filter change. When test driven last week...
