2001 Land Rover Freelander TD4 ES review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent car if it didn't spend so much time with the dealer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes, Front and back brakes have been replaced under warranty. The car has now spent almost 10 weeks in the workshop in the past 5 months with fueling problems. It has broken down 4 times with these problems.
Electric sunroof stopped working!
General comments?
Bought the car second hand over a year ago. For the first 7 or 8 months loved the car and could not speak highly enough of it. Yeah the brakes were wearing quickly, but this was dealt with by the dealer with no problems. Then I had a problem where the car felt like it was misfiring. After a day or so of that it just stopped and would not restart. It them spent a month at the dealers why they tried to fix it.. A couple of months later it happened again. I got the back and it lasted for a week before another trip to the dealer. I have now had it back for one day and it seems to have the same problem again!
My dealer have been really good, they have done every thing that Landrover has told them, but this has not helped.
I am gutted about this as I do really like the car. It is an excellent drive, very economical, does every thing I want except work reliably.
I would definatly have bought another freelander if my one was reliable, but now I am not so sure.
