1999 Land Rover Freelander Xi review from UK and Ireland
"In one sentence? how about the death one...?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket failed 56,000 miles.
Front drivers drive shaft 55,000 miles.
Brakes squeaking continually... replaced... still squeaking now.
Air conditioning failed 60,000 miles.
Rear transmission case unit 'blew' 68,000 miles.
Rear window just opens on its own, and apparently at random.
Alarm and central locking unreliable since got the car.
General comments?
The only thing I like about this car is the colour...!!!
