This is a good thread, and I shall be watching with interest. I had posted a question on this forum about getting a Freelander and received some good replies. However I'll be honest and say that reading the rest of the forum had just about put me off. Was starting to really worry about...

Thanks for that guys. Useful figures there, thanks Blippie.

glad to hear it! I'm in the Durham area (NorthEast) anyone know of any decent LR or Offroad places I can go visit? Hope you get sorted gmp, my problem is that there are a LOT of cheap 1.8's around. I'm just not prepared to take the risk of a head gasket failure. (She doesn't fancy a Rover 75...

well I didn't make it to see anything at the weekend. Couldn't find anything 'local' and due to the weather didn't fancy driving far to see one. I have been speaking to a nice chap at a Land Rover dealer though. Explained what I was doing and that at my budget he was never going to get a sale...

going to see if I can find a freelander local in a dealer somewhere this weekend (if I get the chance) just to have a proper look round.

Thanks for the info gmp. I'll be honest and say that from what I've read on this site alone I'd be steering well clear of a petrol engine! If I do decide to get one I'd bee= looking a for a 2 litre diesel engine. But the point about servicing and pads etc is well made. I still need to find out...

Appreciate the honesty - now lets see how many people pipe up. ;) I'll keep looking, but I expeced it to be a little dearer to run, just wasn't sure if there was anything in particualr I had to be aware of when running a 4x4. I guess I need to have a look at alternatives and make up my...

Thanks for the info mate. After reading a little bit, it very quickly became apparant that the petrol engines had issues. Plus I just prefer diesels. I'm still a way off buying, but thought I'd get some info. Unfortunately I'm not very mechanical, So I can check body work and condition etc...

Hi there, I've just registered as I would like to ask your advice. I currently have a Rover 75 Diesel, but it's been a very unlucky car for me. I only got it last August and it's already spent a few months off the road due to parts not being available. Everything is OK with it now, and I...
