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.
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.
Hi all.
I recently bought a Land Rover Freelander 1800 in South Africa. it was a 2000 model with 80 000km on the clock.
I have always wanted a Land rover and was very excited to buy the above mentioned vehicle.
Great was my disapointment when the cylinder head gasket blew on 85 000 km.
I will never ever again buy a land rover as long as I live. I should have kept my Toyota.

Well my head gasket blew for the 2nd time in a year on an S reg Freelander 1.8xei.It is already on a second engine!!!
I fixed it over the wknd with a friend it took about 8man hours. I have driven this morning to work, but the jury is still out on whether it is working. The first gasket cost me over £400. I don't have the money every 5 minutes to be replacing it!
