    I found my Freelander to be a white elephant. Always going wrong. Found a brilliant website that can help you if you have a 1.8 petrol that has gone wrong again. Check out www.preloved.co.uk click on the Forums button and insert Freelander to see this forum, its worth reading the forum from start to finish.

    Bought my Freelander TD4 to replace my XR2i which I had for 11 years. Really pleased with its performance - tows my caravan easily and is ideal for the dog. Dealer repairs not cheap but you dont have to use them. Had new fuel pump and filter but thats all in 4 years. Has 125000 on clock. Enough proof that the Freelander is a good buy.

    The Land Rover Freelander TD4 is a very reliable td4 auto good general visability from it's elevated 4x4 ride hieght good leg room and luggage space.Body condition seems to be always very good I have never seen a rough example. Not a 4x4 that rolls too much.

    I bought a 3 year old freelander V6 in september 2005. I changed the engine at a cost of £3000 in May 2006.Now I have to change the gearbox at a slightly less cost.
    I have decided to cut my losses and part exchange it (£1000).
    Throughout this period I constatly had problems with worn brake pads and the cooling system.
    Take my advise and steer away from this car.

    Good off road capability - excellent in wintery conditions. TD4 engine has been reliable - In my opinion standard engine is weak, but easily uprated. In my experience fairly easy to work on (DIY) and there's plenty of owner forums where advice can be found.
    Good for towing.
    Parts seem easy enough to source in the UK. Acceptable MPG 32-34 average
    Auto TD4 is best combo IMO (though not for emissions 240g/km)
    I found it prone to water ingress (doors esp rear door)
    Harsh ride (TD4 Sport model).

    Land Rover Freelander TD4 - The body itself is very nice and very comfortable on the road.

    The material the dash is made of, is very poor.

    Overall it's a brilliant suv especially for everyday use its really comfortable especially for the roads here in malta :S

    I bought a high mileage 02 plate Land Rover Freelander TD4, a little over 2 years ago. I work in Forestry & have a smallholding. Hence I wanted a vehicle that was usable off - road and comfy on a long journey. The freelander has been great...I've 'ragged' it around forests for most of it's last 5000 miles.
    So far (touch wood) no problems.
    The only fault I've found is that it dislikes deep puddles, after splashing through water (about 1 foot deep) it won't accelerate normallly when I get back on ...

    BEST CAR I HAVE EVER HAD (so far). Just Bought a high mileage TD4 Auto. Best car I have ever had, did 49mpg on motorway full landrover history and owned by the dealer principle, bought a warranty from a highly recommended company and is worth its weight in gold.

    I've always wanted a Land Rover, and ignoring advice from everyone, I bought a 05 td4 Freelander. Problems from day one, it wouldnt start from cold, it rattled, it handled like a plate of jelly! Everything goes wrong on the Freelander, its a Rover, cheap parts, cheap design expensive price. Buy Japanese, you won't have to see a mechanic again!

    Bought this Land Rover Freelander May 2005, I have placed 2 prevoius reviews this is an up date. ECU remap was worth while, still not sure of actual mpg increase, at a guess it's around 10% better.
    Just had a slight glitch - power went down dramatically and loads of black smoke from exhaust under acceleration. I was thinking big money, ECU or turbo or something equally as complicated. Found problem to be a split in rubber elbow at front near side of induction manifold and the turbo was pumping ...

    Bought new 2003 so has the BMW engine. Gets me thru the winters snow drifts etc with ease. Tows my very heavy (85Kgs nose weight) caravan and I don't know it is on the back up hill and down dale. They are the same as any other vehicle, If you buy second hand you don't know how they have been abused.

    I live on the coast, so as a family/hobby/reliable transport goes difficult to get better, we load the kids, dog, bikes, surf boards and kitchen sink and pop off to the coast or up the mountains, For a young fun loving family its a great ittle truck.

    Very good all rounder, best landy on road handling, best MPG, and fairly good load space with rear seats folded. So you cant go rock crawling or do any hardcore off-roading...... but it aint meant for that is it??!!

    Great car, nice to drive, great looks on the sport model I have but let down by reliability issues. I've got a Freelander 2 as a courtesy car (for 5 weeks while mine has been in the garage under warranty). This is a much smother ride and I will probably be upgrading to one if I ever get my car back!

    Had this 2003 Land Rover Freelander TD4 since May 2005 and have no complaints.
    Just had the ECU remapped to gain more economy, can't tell yet if it has worked, but it certainly isn't using any more diesel however, it is smoother, can pull from 1100 rpm in 4th gear and by hell does it go when I give it full right foot. Guy at the garage here in Cumbria recons that the normal 112 BHP is up to 140.

    Bought a 2004 Freelander td4 (BMW engine) 109000 miles, after 2 months problems started, changed 2 injectors (new) and 2 were refurbished £ £ £, fine for 3 months then changed fuel pump and one injector £ £ £, then one week later another injector £ £ £, then 3 weeks later (now) the car stopped again, guess what? Fuel problem!
    Ask me do I reccomand this car?
    Not even to my enemies.

    Really like this vehicle, no problems so far, under warranty this time so reassured. Dealers expensive but have now found LR approved service only centre, no sales, which is cheaper. Reasonably economical on urban run, good performance on motorway. Comfortable and feels secure, I like the looks overall. Loadspace limited with 4 passengers, but then again, vehicle length not too long and so is manouvreable.It's horses for courses and this LR suits me, although I have heard the problems others hav ...
