I knew Freelanders had a bad reputation but I didn't know a lot of Independant Land Rover places wont even work on them!:eek:

Phoned up the guy who used to look after my 200 TDi Discovery to get him to sort the vibration/gearbox problem out and change the belts. He just said Sorry Mate I wont work on them, I said what not even servicing, he said yup not even servicing. :eek: :(

Apparently he's not alone? There are lots of other indys that wont work on Freelanders!:confused: Bugger! How am I going to get my damn car fixed? Sure I can do servicing but my spannering skills are limited. :(

I guessed owning a Freelander was going to hit the wallet a bit, but this was one problem I hadn't allowed for!:rolleyes:
 
have yu read my long winded and verbose whingy comments - I have mentioned that point before. Deffo with HGF - lotsof places (including squeelers) wont touch hippoos with a barge pole.:(

Glad you mention the garage always gets the blame ! I wont do engine work on 1.8/2.5 F/L engines - only diagnostic work.All the garages I work for lose money on them,they are a pain in the a--e.V8's Tdi's and even Td5's are a much safer bet IMO.
