1999 Land Rover Freelander review from Portugal
"Apart form two or three problems, fine"
General comments?
The car is comfortable, pulls well and is pleasant to handle.
A lot of thumping noise when driving moderately fast with rear windows open.
The differential went at around 60,000 km and now, at 95,000 km it is beginning to hum again. No apparent reason and very costly (2,000 euros) to replace.
Imobilizer hung twice for no reason.
Luggage compartment locker is often wet inside, no apparent reason.
Radio display has vanished. 45 euros to replace.
