New boy on the Block

Hi Everyone,
found Landyzone a couple of weeks ago, when I was looking for some Freelander 2.5 V6 info, found the site great, I had a real nightmare with my 1.8i so decided to trade my 2000 1.8i GS 5 door Freelander for a 2002 2.5 V6 GS 5 door freelander - Hope this one is more reliable,

I had to have a replacement engine withn 38000 Mi, put in to my 1.8i freelander,following the notorious 'HEAD GASKET' going, then some 5000 Mi later the same thing happened again, Obviously you can't sell a car without an engine, So I took another sting and bought a new engine, which I have to say served me well, and the car drove beutifully, but ever weary and as I said before I let it go for a V6,

Does any one have any tales of woe with a V6, or anything I should be looking out for ?.

anything I should be looking out for ?.

welcome to the zone. Hope you have happier days with yer newun.

ffs - out of the frying pan!!!
KV6 eats HGs faster than 1.8 and is more expensive to repair.
Get rid quick and get a TD4.
(Yes I had one and I've still got the scars).

i was trying to break it to ya gently.
