Can anyone help me

Hi, I have just had a service on my Freelander 2.5 V6 and now I am all confused. I bought the car in June with full service history and in really good condition and I honestly thought I had a bargain. Whilst having trhe service the guy was saying that they are really expensive to repair and that if anything went on it I should scrap it or sell it to him. Is he having me on or is he being serious. I have never owned a Land Rover before and I love my little car. I am really worried now. Also as it is an automatic I was wondering how I checked the transmission fluid as it is under the casing of the engine. Can I do it myself with instructions (if anyone knows please let me know) or does it have to go to the garage.

Sorry to be a pain:doh:

Petrol f/l are crap when they go wrong im afraid

What do you mean? Crap as in loads go wrong or just crap in general?

Lets just say you want to read the freelander section, v6 not as bad as 1.8 k series petrol-but they are not particularly reliable

crap in general

if you have the abbility to unload the freelander i would do so asap not because it is a bad car but when it goes wrong it will cost a packet to fix if you still want to owne a land rover and want practicality see if you can find a mid to late defender 90 csw 96/98 apx 6-9k then when it goes wrong you can fix it yourself

get a diesel freelander they are very reliable.
the l-series is easier to service by yourself than the td4.
