Afternoon all, Well I a chuffed to bits with my recent purchase, an '04 plate TD4 Sport which is gleaming. We chose the Freelander as it suited our lifestyle and was an ideal vehicle for our impending baby in 4 weeks time!! I am interested to know what more I can do with my Freelander...

I would be interested to know the differences between the HSE and the Sport?? I know wheels and suspension are different, anything else? Did you drive both? How did you find they compared? Si

I need to get towbar fitted but not too sure at £350 quid!! How difficult is it because the kit from tow equippe is only about £100 odd quid?? Is it DIY-able? Si

The alleigance scheme sounds interesting from a parts point of view, will have to look into that i think. Sounds like the Indy could be the way to go especially the price talldavey gives for his 60k service!! Big difference, the other thing I have to consider is my local stealer is about 45...

Thanks guys that's most useful, I can't help thinking that it maybe worth keeping the history with LR going as it's relatively low miles and not that old really. What's the 'rave' link you are speaking of? I am waiting for a price back from my local LR Indy to see how different it is to the...

Good morning guys, My recently bought Freelander Sport TD4 is nearly due it's next service, mileage is currently 53k. Been reliably informed the service I require is a 60k service so I called the stealer for a price - £490 incl parts, labour and VAT. I am just wondering what this...

Chaser - thanks for that had a quick look on EBay and there seem to be a couple of dealers offering the part for £100 posted. Is this procedure covered in the Haynes manual or is there a how to guide anywhere? I am more than happy to replace it just need a few step by step instructions. The...

Wow!! Certainly cost you a fair penny!! My worry is diagnosing what is actually wrong and changing something for the sake of changing it. Having only had the car a day I absolutely love it and want to get it sorted but concerned I might shell out fr cylinder replacement only to do the works like...

That's what I was fearful of Rich, what was the result of the second trip to the garage out of interest? Si

I am considering doing the master cylinder as suggested but my concern is I could be prolonging a more expensive problem. In replacing the cylinder how will I know whether I will encounter more expensive problems later on? Si

Problem is it was private so it's my problem I guess. Si

Just read some other posts by people experiencing similar problems - been out and checked the fluid reservoir which was completely dry, popped the lid off and level appeared fine. Just called the guy I bought it from and he hasn't experienced it during his ownership. Could this be something...

Afternoon all, It's been a ling day today but worth it because I collected my '04 TD4 Sport which I absolutely love!! We left at 4am this morning to drive the 220 odd miles upto Blackpool and the car we were met with was as described - absolutely immaculate I couldn't fault it! The deal...

It's 3.45am and I am on my way to pick it up!!!! I have a 220 odd mile drive home so when I get back later I will let you have the full low down. Sounds promising already though based on hustlers post. Si

I looked at a premium and to be honest the half leather looks nicer than the full leather plus fabric centre panel wears better. Si

I am collecting mine tomorrow and can't wait will let you know on economy, it's a TD4 Sport manual. Si

Thanks for the replies guys, that's exactly what I was hoping for experiences fro others who use it in the same way. Sounds like a good family vehicle, lots of positive points and advantages of going for the Freelander. I had previously been considering and X5 but the wife is really unhappy...

Good evening all, New here and currently considering the purchase of a TD4 Sport (Premium), currently selling my Impreza due to the impending birth of our first child which is very exciting!! I wanted to retain the safety and security of a four wheel drive vehicle and having been an...
