Hi,just bought a 2000 xi 1.8 petrol,37000 miles on the clock.Its in great condition,but to be fair i dont really know what i've let my self in for?Having no expirence with Land Rovers,this is all very new.
I have read good and bad reviews,but have wanted one for a long time and this seem to come my way at the right time.......
So to cut a long story short,what is the verdict,on this model good/bad.
I'am hoping someone is going to tell me what i want to hear,which is
Best F***ing move of your life!!!!!

Yeah, I agree with "Yella Disco". Out of the 3 engine models; you brought the worst, gutless and prone to breaking down. At least my 2.5 litre has get up and go before it breaks it down
TD4 would have been the best bet.
Saying that though, you may get lucky and never have a head gasket fail ££££££££. Take a warranty and keep a warranty for it's life. Repairs can be expensive

no worries mate, i'm not a big fan of freelanders anyway but at least the td4 has a decent engine. the 1.8 is a lawnwower engine the v6 is unreliable, at least the td4 runs on proper fuel
