1999 Land Rover Freelander XEI review from UK and Ireland
"If you get one with no problems you will be lucky"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust pipe broken in half after 18 months.
Alarm and immobilizer replaced after 20 months.
Anti roll bars repaired.
Head gasket replaced twice. New engine installed at 36,000 miles.
Replaced tires twice.
General comments?
I regret the day that I signed for this vehicle, I waited six months for delivery and since the first service I have had many problems resulting in at least three months of the road. The dealership service and Land Rover after sales have been disgraceful.
