1998 Land Rover Freelander 3-Door XEi review from UK and Ireland
"A good, solid, dependable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head Gasket blew at 74000 miles, new engine fitted under warranty.
General comments?
I use this car, primarily, for motorway work travelling long distances at high speed. I've also completed a number of trips into Europe.
The handling is good and predictable for a vehicle in it's class.
The engine has plenty of torque, but feels underpowered when accelerating.
It's comfortable, a bit noisy over 70 (road noise mainly) but it's fitted with a good radio...
