2000 Land Rover Freelander Xei review from UK and Ireland
"A very poor car in all respects"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car failed to start when we went to pick it up from the dealer... not a good start.
The hill descent failed.
The exhaust system and catalytic converter completely failed.
Oil and water mixing throughout.
Sunroof leaking causing water to catch in the roof lining.
Back door seals leak.
Sun roof gear winders broke.
All this within six months of purchasing the car from a large dealer. The after-sales care has been awful and we are left with a bill for over £4000 for a complete new engine and catalytic converter.
General comments?
The car has been a complete disaster from the day we purchased it.
