Hey all,
Just signed up to this forum as I'm looking for some advice.
I have found a very good condition Freelander, on an 02 plate with 68500 miles on it.
I keep reading all these horror stories about the head gaskets going.
The Freelander I am looking at has had a new gasket done at 60000ish miles (I will double check with the garage tomorrow). How long do you think this will last? Everytime I drive it, will I be wondering if its going to go? Or should it be ok as its no more than 8k old?
I need some advice guys! I'm between a rock and a hard place as its a very nice car but this is just sat at the back of my mind.
I don't have over £1k to spend on a new engine/rebuild.
What do you think?
Many thanks!!!
Nick.
