Hi, Not entirely sure where to post this but I want to warn people not to buy this freelander 1. I recently part exchanged it for a freelander 2. The car has an intermittent fault that's been hanging around for over three years its had just about everything done to fix it but it keeps coming...

I have developed an intermittent fault with my Freelander . Every now and then ( about once every few weeks) it just won't catch when I start it . It turns over and over and then just when I think it is going to catch I try and put my foot on the throttle and it just dies . Its not stalling and...
