178000 on mine. Very reliable, never let me down. Not rattly and worn at all like some cars get with age and mileage. Not burning oil either. No rust. I think the post 2000 Freelanders were really tough cars and will outlast a lot of what is on the road today.

Thank you 110 Tim. I have just ordered a pack of 1.8 KOhm resistors so I will pop one in and see if that does the trick.

Hi all, Got a little problem with my Freelander. We are down in Southern France on holiday, and on the drive down the Freelander started to develop a whining noise which appears to come from the injector pump on the engine. Pump sounds normal at idle, then whines as throttle is applied...
