1999 Land Rover Freelander review from Sri Lanka
"I will never buy another Free lander"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The IRD Unit has blown up.
The Engine Mount has broken.
Clutch plate was replaced by previous owner.
General comments?
The car is a terrible piece of metal.
Never thought I will have such a heartache with a 5yr old SUV.
I am an average wage earner and thought that I will be able to enjoy a little bit of luxury with my life time savings.
Inside is good, and the looks are really good. But whats the use, if it doesn't perform and doesn't pull very well.
