2003 Land Rover Freelander S review from North America
"Garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Three window regulators.
Variable intake manifold at 48,000.
Thermostat.
Ignition switch.
Passenger rear door actuator.
Coolant tank cracked.
Radio acts up intermittently.
Catalytic convertor and exhaust needs replacement.
OEM brakes lasted only 15,000 miles.
Fuel pump at 58,000.
Oxygen sensors at 59,000.
Brake lights and rear fog lights are reversed.
Starter at 50,000.
General comments?
The only good thing about this vehicle is that it rides good.
Maintenance is horrible.
If the timing belt breaks while the car is running, you might as well throw the car away, because all the valves will bend.
