“FREELANDER TD4 - TROUBLESOME UNRELIABLE EXPENSIVE TO KEEP”

Written on: 07/07/2012 by deltaromeopapa

Bought my TD4 6 months ago with 90 thou on the clock and a service history expected to see another 50 thousand miles before any trouble came along. Right now its in bits with a leaky injector pump. Bought it because the BMW engine was supposed to have fixed all the problems of earlier cars. Probably the worst car I have ever owned. I will never buy anything with Landrover written on it again. VW, Honda, Peugeot, Citroen, Mitsubishi have all served me well.
I would seriously recommend avoiding Freelander TD4. Its not only me, since buying it I have come across some horror stories. Its not the cost of purchase but the cost of keeping it running. You need a second car as well, to drive while the Freelander doesn't work!!!!
So what is good about it - er........
