Problems or faults to be looking for on freelander

Im new to all this and can't seem to find a thread that will help me. I'm planning on going to see a freelander 1 tomorrow facelift. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for? I'm new to all this and any help would be much appreciated it's a premium sport hardback. 121405410044 Ebay number. Thanks

my advice is save your petrol & go look at a real landrover

Looks nice. Do a search on what to look for when buying Freelander, there's plenty of info on here. Also it's better to post in the dedicated Freelander section as it saves the big boys having their little bit of fun at our expense.

Can't think what you could possibly mean

the only thing to be wary of on that model is the viscous drive coupling is possibly nearing its life limit , depending on how well the previous owner followed tyre replacement advice , otherwise pretty trouble free .

When u say tyre replacement advice, do you mean 4 of the same brand?
