Land Rover Freelander?

[northern mark]

The freelander used to have a pourous engine block at one time, they might have fixed it by now but it might be worth checking.

.....bet he still buys it

well apart from the pourous engine block, the unreliabilaty, the poping head gaskets and the fact they wont used em in deserts they seem ok lol....good to see another british car get rave reviews.. lol no wonder rover went bust,

i think a trip to the BMW place is on the cards today. lol

We have a Kia Sorento don't dismiss it, it is a very capable off roader (4x4 Magazines Car of the year in 2004).

It managed the snow on the downs in Kent, back in March when everything was getting stuck, including Freelanders.

The beauty of it is you can get the top of the range diesel for the price of the bog standard diesel Freelander. It is also no.1 in the JD Power survey for 4x4 vehicles.

Look at: www.kia.co.uk/sorentohome.asp for details.

chesters1:

arnt they the ones that pop their head gasket every few months

i must admitt that my dad recently had trouble with his but it has never happened before to it. it was leaking water and ad to take the inlet manifold out and all the other bits on top of the gasket to replace it. its a right kerfuffle getting into the engines of land rover/range rovers.

its the older discos that pop head gaskets isn't it?

 

looks like all the people i know who have them must be wrong! still what do i know, i drive a jeep
