When crusing at 70mph the engine revs on our 2.0XDi are abour 3300rpm when in 5th gear, this is about 500 - 700prm higher then a variety of other landrovers/other cars I've recently driven and the only reason I mention it is because of the noise - and the fact that the engine sounds like its working too hard. The Freelander is a 1999 model, do later gearboxes have a different 5th gear ratio better matched to the engine?
