2000 Land Rover Freelander XEDi review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good car, but shame about build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This week the IRD failed at 60,000 kms. Landrover are arguing its out of warranty. Seems unreasonable. Transmission noise has been awful since day 1. Also when selecting reverse gear will jump out of reverse as you start to pull away.
Sun roof failed at 3.5 years.
General comments?
I'd be grateful to know how long an IRD should last and what symptoms indicate it is failing.
