I'm looking to buy a used Freelander 2, something in the region of a 57 plate, 40k on the clock, a TD4 manual.
Any gotchas I should look out for? I've been told to avoid the 06/07 models due to high rates of steering rack and diesel pump failures. Does that ring true with what any of you guys have seen? I've read about the steering rack problems, is there any preventative maintenance that could be done or is it just a case of wait for it to fail and pay for a new one?
Cheers
Tom
