"Not fit for the junk yard"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Where do I start -

gear box failed @ 93000

radiator burst @ 90000

rear door window, heated rear and wiper failed

both front windows failed

sunroof mechanism failed

prop shaft bearings failed

had to be towed twice recently

uneven rear tyre wear

steering rack leaked

oil leak from engine.

General comments?

Would not recommend this car on my experience... pile of junk is a phrase that springs to mind. Would never buy a LR again let alone a Freelander. Interior was obviously fashioned in the 70's when plastic was vogue.

I agree that the early build quality on the freelander was poor. Many of the problems have now been ironed out and the updated looks are a major improvement from the 2003/4 model onwards. Don't knock LR, their new cars are a major improvement on what they use to be.
