General Comments
I have owned my Landrover Freelander Braemar 1.8 petrol SUV (special edition) for three weeks now,and i think it's the best vehicle I have had. Standard features are - abs, air con. Traction control, twin air bags, 17"alloys, light guards all round. It behaves well on long trips and seat support is excellent. My only concern is fuel consumption.

i bought a freelander in 2003 from a landrover dealer, it was registered in1999,it had just over 33,000 on clock, it was a fifty year special edition, leather seats, six change c/d player, air con, 1.8 eng, it was a lovely motor to drive, what i did'nt know was there was problem with the 1.8 headgasket which seems to go after 60,000 mls. landrover knows about this, and it has cost me dearly for a rebuilt engine. my advice to anyone with the 1.8, is to get rid of this piece of junk before the same happens to them, there are plenty of sites world wide which you can find on the web where 100's of these problems can be seen. get rid.
