2000 Land Rover Freelander di review from UK and Ireland
"Expensive British engineering"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust back box at 86000 miles
Viscous coupling at 87200 miles
IRU at 87230 miles
Sun roof jammed at 87400 miles
Wiper switch broken at 87450.
General comments?
This is the most unreliable car I have ever owned. It is also the most expensive to repair.
The cost so far in under 12 months is almost £3000
I would not buy another Freelander and would advise anyone who is thinking of buying to think again.
The IRU unit alone was over £800 and over £250+VAT labour to fit it.
Viscous coupling at £476+VAT and £80+VAT to fit it.
All the above are apparently common problems.
I'm just waiting to see what will be next!
I will keep you informed of the next "common problem"
