I am new to forums and also first time freelander owner. I have inherited a 2002 Freelander V6 2.5 gs auto from my sister who has gone abroad, with what looks to be a full land rover service history.

It has around 74k mileage and looks from paperwork that it has had a full front and 2 rear cam belt change at 52k.

I know it also reccomends a change at 72k service but my question is if it was changed at 52k is that something that needs doing now, or should I wait to have it MOT'd in Feb next year and ask them to have a look at the belts to see if they need changing.

With all the horror stories I have read about this model and it's horrendous thirst I am starting to worry I have inherited a right load of mither even though it was free

Well you either love it or hate it ...if you love it now because it was free ...(if only things like that happened to me.. I wish) will you hate it when you have to spend cash if the horror stories come true ? ask yourself these questions and dont expect people on here to answer it for you...maybe thats why you have 80 readers but no answers :rolleyes::)
 
I'd just drive it and enjoy it if you can stomach the fuel consumption.You will struggle to find anyone willing to work on it,if the belts were done at 52K then you have no worries.
