[HarleyP]

Hi all, I'm new here. I'm looking for a diesel Freelander. Had 3 V8 Range Rovers in the past and classic with a VM turbo diesel, and then last year a P38 diesel, The P38 dorve me nuts fault after fault, so i gave up on it, Like the look of the Freelander TD4. What are the common faults, And what do i look out for when purchasing one

1)doors fall off
2)watch out for curling tong burn marks
3)make sure the 12v sockets work as hairdryers have a tendancy to burn them out

You want one you get one, there are issues wih them BUT there is with all motors tbh. I have one and it's been fine, just the luck of the draw I suppose
