KV6 if you don't want to loose your acceleration and don't do many miles.

check out http://www.freelanderheadgasket.co.uk/ it should give you some guidance on which model to go for. Make sure the central locking works aswell. Thats my experince of freelanders.

Just got mine back from the dealer after having the HG replaced at 34K costing £600 + the dealer has written a list of all the other faults with the car, so it's not just a 1.8 thing. My new advice is to read the forum and if you are still thinking of getting one read it again and if that doesn't help - good luck.
By the way the forum is great for helping solving and and sharing problems for unfortunate owners.
