[edit] Quality
is there any feedback about the quality of that vehicle? While I'm happy with mine (Model 2000 Diesel 2.0l), I hear a lot of negative news from people who owned one before. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rstohr (talk • contribs).
- I have a 1999 TDI Freelander. I bought it in 2002. It was the most expensive car I have ever bought (£15k). It is the most unreliable. Every electric window has broken. Bolts left off after Land Rover service. I would not buy one again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.132.57.40 (talk • contribs).
- We have two, a 1998 L-series and a 2002 TD4. The latter is clearly more refined and well worth the £20,000 we paid for it (list price £22,000). We have found both to be very reliable and haven't missed a beat. Land Rover dealer servicing is very expensive but the vehicle is reasonably easy to DIY service. Would we get another one? Only if our current ones wore out! Certainly there have been problems with the Rover K-series petrol - it is way beyond its original design and shoudn't really be used in a 4x4 or a sports car (also brings problems in the MGF and Lotus Elise) and early models sufferd with VCU/IRD transmission problems. However both of these problems are well documented and avoidable if vigilantly maintained. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blippie (talk • contribs).
[edit] External links
Is it just me... or does that Landrover FAQ external link contain no information on the Freelander at all? I can't see any... zorruno 05:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- You're right. I checked the site's index, and there's nothing. Whilst there's a case for Land Rover generic info in terms of sourcing spares, etc., there are probably plenty of more appropriate sites, and since external links are supposed to be carefully chosen and used sparingly, I've nuked this one. – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 14:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
