Be prepared to replace the head gasket on that yoke if you buy it!

Freelanders like the old Discovery have also been known to have gearbox trouble. Also the 1.8 petrol unit in the Freelander struggles in that heavy body and mpg suffers.

I would avoid them.

Don't get us started again spewing abuse about the Freelander. Do a search on this forum and you'll know what I mean
