I am looking to purchase a used Freelander after lurking for a while.
I have seen a 2011 TD4 XS manual with about 90k miles on it. Its a single owner car with FSH and the car is generally in very good condition.
While test driving today I felt the car hesitating while pulling away around 2000 rpm in 3rd/4th gear and didnt think much of it except turbo lag/flat spot. The car drives well but there is a slight turbo whistle too.
After pulling up I was testing the various switches and the one on the climate control section which has a window sign and says PROG caused to other lights below it to light up. At this point the engine starting what I can best describe as hunting. revs dropping down and then recovering and this happen while any one of the 3 lights was on. As soon as they were turned off the engine was fine.
The sales guy said it might be a bit of moisture on the sensor and offered to put to through the workshop again. I am not so sure.
The car is fine otherwise and reasonably priced.
Any opinions welcome.
