buying a freelander any advice

k-seal and similar products attempt to fix the symptoms and not the cause of the problem.
It has been known (frequently) that it causes more problems than it cures (blocking the heater matrix is one good example).

so its a quick fix solution...i wonrt be puttin up much mileage on the car so im prob better gettin a new hg put in by my mechanic and gettin a full service done as soon as i buy it

Service is a must as soon as you get your motor, dont just believe the garage because they say they've changed all the oil and filters, chances are they havent.. they dont like spending money....
if you feel you must have one, then i would be tempted to change all the oils and filters yourself or watch and help someone do it for you, it'll be a good base to start and you'll start to get the feel for your landy!! see i can be nice

oooh a new potion with lots of magical claims. Will it cure liner slippage too?

Seriously, you say you're only doing low mileage but best to do it with the more reliable diesel unless zero miles & garage bills are in your plans.
