Hi guys, Had an X reg 1.8 petrol Freelander a few years ago so reasonable familiar with them, and wish to get another again, maybe a facelift, MK1 probably diesel, anything to look out for engine wise ?

a friend of mine had an early TD4 for years, apart from the normal wear an tear, pretty trouble free.

I had a 1998 1.8 Petrol back in 2002. I cant stress how much these cars need to be avoided. Head gasket went twice in 3 years of ownership. Rear window leaked and soaked the head lining, we only had a single horse trailer at the time and it struggled to pull it empty. I spent ££££'s on it, was glad to see the back of it.

Plan: [STRIKE]Finish off paying the remainder of my debts[/STRIKE].
[STRIKE]Save up for that rainy day[/STRIKE].
Start enjoying a stress debt free life..:beer:...now enjoying. thanks to all on MSE
