Freelander Faults poll - Page 3

Rear diff front mount perished (Replaced all three)
Bought with HGF (no compression) rebuilt with latest gasket and oil rail
O/S CDL motor packed up, tried cleaning but ended up replacing (£64ish)
1 rear wheel bearing noisy (both rears replaced )
Clutch slave cylinder bracket snapped (Replaced for £6 or £9)
HDC failed (wire fell off microswitch terminal) (soldered and fixed for free)

Considering mileage (bought at 98K for £550) has not cost much at all to put right.

Freelander wheelbase is 100" according to my tape measure if anything major goes I may consider a body swap onto a RRC rolling chassis!!

Had my TD4 for a year now and had a couple of bits done under warranty in the first couple of weeks after I had the car (as you tend to with any used car as the previous owner leaves things before PX-ing!).

Since then I've spent out on the following:

2 x front tyres
1 x brake light switch (for the famous orange lights!)
1 x brake light bulb
1 x set of driver's door trim clips (to stop rattle)
1 x driver's door check strap (another rattle!)

Total cost about £225 of which nearly £200 was for the tyres! I've also spent about £250 on accessories but can't blame Land Rover for that I suppose!

Cheers

2004 td4 auto 45k
MAF Sensor - replaced with ronbox pierburg combo (still idles rough but ron assisting)
Lake in boot
GPS Aerial fault

Other than tyres, brakes and servicing thats it.
I'm still considering changing it tho - £400 + tax is ridiculous

But consider how much it will cost you to change? I can bet that changing cars will cost you a whole heap more than the extra £20 a month the RFL will cost you unless you are planning on downgrading your wheels massively!
