Talking Re: Freelander Faults poll

I've ticked the lot, I don't own one and NEVER will, I'm a mechanic and have several of these beasts on my books, damn good earners I can tell you.
I can't see Freelanders ever making classic status, they'll be turned into bean cans way before that.

Hi Soloby Rob

Water came in through interior light from new;
MAF replaced under warrenty;
Various trubo/inlet hoses replaced under warrenty;
Auto gearbox went after 40k miles (3 years and 9 months!); dealer got LR to cough up 75% of cost of new one (£2800 + VAT + fitting);
Intercooler hose now gone for second time;
Still have loss of power at mid revs - suspect turbo;
Break pads last < 12k miles
