1999 Land Rover Freelander review from UK and Ireland
"Bad buy I would look at a Japanese make"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lacks power on small hills
Very sqeeky wheels. dealer unable to resolve.
Cylinder head gasket blew.
Tow driver says this is avery common problem. It blew a long way fro home and cost £120 to tow home.
When brake pedal is depressed there is a rough feeling throug the pedals.
Interior design is excellent.
General comments?
I am very dissapointed that the head gasket blew and Landrover know this to be a problem. Bad move because I wouldn't recommend this vehicle to any one. After all, do you want to buy a vehicle that will almost certainly blow a gasket a long way from home.
