Prospective not gay freelander owner

Hi chaps, looking at an 04 1.8 kalahari for the Mrs, looks in very good nick. Seller (he lives in brighton.....! and hardly uses it) says it has had recon engine and head gasket done, however it has a starting problem. AA told him that its the crank sensor. Struggles to start (battery now flat) but when it does it apparently drives fine. "Struggles to start but when does is slightly underpowered on tick-over" he says. I can only assume he means poor idle. What do you lot think?

Ha ha, seller lives in Brighton, genius.

For the Missus, genius

Does a prospect Gaylander owner have to wear a "prospect" badge and do whatever a badged member says?????

Shut up I've got a disco 2! She wanted another disco 300tdi but it's got too many issues to bother repairing and there's not many left that are either rusted away or too expensive. She happens to like the freelander (sadly) and would be happy with that instead of the disco.

I've got a friend that wants a freelander...sound familiar?

Been done. He obviously doesn't know much about cars but AA told him crank sensor needs doing. Apparently an easy job... It's only up for £650 so prepared to spend a few quid (but not too much)

At £650 you shoulda just bought it and not posted your secret

Maybe but I don't want it to end up costing £1650! The part costs £20 quid or so and If you've ever done a water pump or wrangled an intercooler on a td5, anything after that is easy!

How do you hide a secret on here you dont coss some one grasses you up
