1998 Land Rover Freelander di review from UK and Ireland
"A solid 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car at an auction, so for the mot needed all brake pipes changed, rear wheel cylinders and shoes changed.
Needed a new inner link bush fitted.
Diff. pinion oil seal needed changed.
Changed the glow plugs at 98000 miles.
Timing belts changed at 96000 miles (being the rover engine it is pain)
Two new front tyres at 96000.
General comments?
I know that the Freelander has had its share of trouble, but it is still a good 4x4.
Mine tows a caravan with out any hassle.
Its comfortable, good head height, plenty of room for the family.
