Landrover Freelander TD4 (new model) - Any issues I should know about?

[martynljones]

I work for Ford and get a healthy discount on them (Ford own Landrover), so I bought a new TD4 Serengeti about 2 years ago. There were no major problems, and just minor niggles like squeeky seats etc. Watch out for the rear window fault mentioned earlier as its a common problem. Also, be prepared for the fact that they dont go, dont stop, and dont go around corners .

The Brother in law has an x plate td model, the diff is wining like a goodun an its only got 40k on it! We we surpirsed at how tiny the boot was as how "1990 Rover 214" the interior is........

So what do they do then?!?!

And the E-class gets all the bad publicity..... You cannot be serious??

This topic has certainly been a real eye opener, but I do accept that there must be at least one Freelander out there that is faultless???

Crikey has this thread been resurrected?

Update:

We bought one, ran it for 6 months and sold it on

No problems with it apart from being really sluggish setting off

Got an X3 for the missus instead - much better
