Land Rover Freelander 1.8 S, A new wheel bearing, new water pump, new engine, new distributor cap, new IRD...need I continue? Oh, and Land Rover won't entertain any thoughts of compensation because I have used a reputable 4X4 garage for servicing instead of an overpriced dealership.

    Indeed, our Freelander has had a few problems, including (of course) the cylinder head gasket failing twice. The first time, the vehicle was under warranty and Land Rover fixed it. The second time (at a little over four years old) Land Rover offered to pay half. The dealer quoted £450 to replace the head gasket and thermostat. On the day we were due to collect, we received a phone call to say that they were waiting for a new cylinder head; the new cost (including a 50% contribution from Land Rover): £1465. Needless to say, I had it moved to my local independant Land Rover specialist who did the job for £300-odd. The Land Rover dealer wanted £439 for 6.3 hours work to remove the existing head before we could have it back; and amount of time my independant thinks is 'exaggerated'. Here's the rub: until this episode, we were all set to swallow our pride and buy a new Freelander in July. Now, they're not getting a penny.
