Hang on ill check....**** ill ring and cancel, maybe he's got a disco instead...

Ok cheers mate, sounds a bit like a hgv endurance brake

Ok cheers guys. What's the hdc do/for then?

Ah yeh he said the rear tyres are like new and front about half worn. Sorry but I don't know what the acronyms stand for. Full lock forward and reverse is for diff isn't it? And I need to make sure the engines cold when I get there yeah?

Sorry It's a 2.0 TD4

Hi guys, picking up our freelander next week, it's a 2005. I've been looking into what to check and so far I've been told rear diff and rough idle when cold. Is there anything else I should check, other than the usual?

Don't worry I have, I thought it sounded too good to be true too

Cheers mate, I hope it is! The good thing is the garage said if were not happy they will hand back the deposit no questions asked. Pick it up end of next week. So I've got a week to look for mods haha

It's got 67,000 miles, full service history most of which is main dealer or independent specialist, 12 month tax & mot. And only a 5hr drive for us lol

Just put a deposit on a 2005 (54) freelander hse :D

Oh ideal so doesn't need changing till what 150,000ish?

Found one were really interested in. I was just wondering if you could tell me if its timing belt or chain please?

Ideal cheers mate, ill post up some pictures if and when we get one

Ok will do :)

Ok mate thanks for the help :) I've found one within my price range so ill try to have a look, thanks for the help

Oh really? That's a shame. Ill have to try and go to see one I think. Looking for HSE's now :)

Is 2004 facelift?

Thank you. No, no green laning for me. It's going to be a family car, unfortunately I need to start being practical, and she's going to want a kid one day so were planning ahead.

Td4 if that helps?

Yes definitely diesel
