i am just trying to work this out because i was informed it was a trade sale, and my receipt shows a business address, however, the guy has basically told me to do one and that it was a private sale (after i advised to sale of goods act) and hed been using it as a run around for a few months...

thanks for this, i had a feeling it was kosher as i hadnt had anyone knock, just wodnered where i stood if it was at first a trade sale, and then when everything went wrong with it and i advised im coveredby the sale of goods act under a trade sale he told me it was his run around for the past...

what is right with it would probably be easier to answer hahahaha.... basically within 48 hours of collecting the vehicle the handbrake failed - serviced and put right but told then that the exhaust had been puttied since MOT. since then, electrics, battery, potential head gasket problems and...

thank you... i will do :) well i believe the vehicle to be unsafe - if its a private sale but potentially through a garage as the guy that sold it me was not the guy on the V5, i only found that out when the V5 came through and noticed the address was different, he told me when i collected it...

Hi, I purchased my landy a few weeks ago and the bloke i bought it off was not the name on the V5, nor the address. I only noticed this after when the V5 came through with me listed as the new keeper. He did mention he was in keep of the vehicle due to a part exchange, so i am wondering how...

i will be doing just that, thanks :)

amazing .. thank you... i did not know this .... i will get reading around this now - dont suppose you have any idea if this applies to private sales too??? thank you so much :)

sadly i dont know any mechanics, and i took the car to be serviced at halfords last week and the recovery guy was like 'whhyyyyy' ... ahhh chris thats very kind of you thank you, it would be fab if someone sees this and offers, im at my witts end... i dont suppose you have an idea what the scrap...

thanks for this, the recovery did say it was an old battery as it didnt have the window on it to tell you how good it is (something i wasnt aware was on new batteries) so i guess first point of call will be that .... thanks again

sadly i bought it privately. I have contacted the guy i bought it from and hes not been the most helpful, naturally. its so frustrating that people just refuse to be honest. :(

Hi All, Three weeks ago i bought my first freelander. Since then i have had nothing but problems. If i list the issues please could someone advise me on what to do (i had it serviced last weekend and had one advisory - the exhaust has been puttied since the MOT (was not advised on buying it and...

Land Rover Freelander handbrake problem (1997-2003 cars) There was a problem with the handbrake on some Freelanders built between October 1997 and February 2001. The handbrake ratchet mechanism wasn't tight enough, meaning there was the possibility it could loosen the brakes and allow the car...

sadly i bought the thing off ebay .... although it does state they accept returns.... iv tried contacting the garage that has done the last few years of MOT/servicing etc and not had much luck - joys of it being the weekend.... is this a big job??? i went to a garage yesterday and the guys didnt...

is this something i can tinkle with in the handbrake console in the car???? iv tried to get someone to look at it since yesterday afternoon and noone seems to be that concerned but me :(

thanks for this... any idea how big of a job this is???? not something i can do myself sadly, as i have no idea where to even begin.... not flying the flag for the female driver ay???? but i of course will be trying to get my hands dirty when i can :P ..... iv been trying to find someone to sort...

thanks for this, i am a little ignorant to all of this so i do apologise in advance... the cubby box bit is missing some screws and the back piece has now completely fallen away (this is something i hadnt noticed when i collected the vehicle) so im not sure if this falling away has dislodged a...

Thanks for this - do you have any idea how much this would cost to fix?!

Guys and Gals, Really need some advice.... Only days ago i finally purchased a freelander, i have covered a lot of miles in that time and apart from the odd knock i didnt have any concerns regarding 'the beast' however, today, the handbrake would not hold 'the beast' stationary on an incline...

So, after years of living in the smoke and the need of owning a vehicle being pretty much redundant... I moved back to the shire and the first thing I did was buy a freelander...... excited to progress from a novice to a veteran.....
