    never thought I'd buy a landrover.... probably won't.

    had a test drive of the TD4 today, brakes sucked, bought it, collect tomorrow when the brakes are done... still trawling freelander posts and not finding much useful info, just fun and games.

    that does it. I'm getting one... I'm hoping it'll make me as funny as you. from what I've read, freelanders should come with sense of humour fitted as standard.

    thanks for replies. yes I've considered the fact that the first one I looked at had reached 127k miles and did so somehow, maybe it's problems are gone, but maybe they're not... for just a bit extra cost for peace of mind I rather get diesel over 1800 petrol. I don't quite understand why the k...

    After reading some post here about freelanders I've decided to forget the one I looked at yesterday, it was an 1800 so I assume it was K series, now I've spotted a td4 version for sale locally I'm going to look at that one instead and pull the trigger on it.

    yes I never thought I'd buy one or particularly want one, although I've always had a bit of a soft spot for defenders but that's irrelevant... I was out car shopping today and stumbled upon a 2002 freelander, old I know and high milage but it was the most appealing motor I'd encountered on the...

    Engine swap

    so why not change the stem seal instead of procuring another engine? stems seals are pennies to buy and easier to replace than a whole engine.

    Engine swap

    I know this is an old post and topic but I had to say something.... you know for internet correctness. no rover used honda engines, but honda did use rover engines. when the rover 214, 216, 218 etc were on the go in the 90s honda used the k series engine in their accord. now I always thought...
