Bought my Freelander 2 in May 07, so the warranty ran out last year.
The car has done 70k.
In the last 3 months I have had to have oil leaks repaired, the drive shaft seal replaced, all the glow plugs replaced, and now one of the headlights is playing up. Nothing wrong with the bulbs to presume it is something more sinister.
Cost of the above repairs up to now, £1200.
This vehicle is the biggest piece of trash I have ever owned and seems to be designed, like a fridge, to die just the other side of the warranty.
Have I just been unlucky?
To cap it all some of the repairs have been undertaken by Guy Salmon, part of the Sytner Group, and I have had to take it back as the independent garage that replaced the glow plugs has discovered that the repairs that were done were defective!!
At the moment I am sorry to say that I would never buy Landrover again, which is a pity as I really enjoyed the first 3 years.
