FridgeFreezer Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Have a read back through the Freelander forum, the "what to look for" / "thinking of buying one" threads have been done to death, the usual issues have been explained in great detail.

AALPHA2011 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I have the exact same Freelander and have had it for 3 years and love it. The Breather filter is very important, so I would check that even after a full service. I removed my EGR valve and replaced with a straight through one, much better. check for any weird noises, VCU, prop shaft, diff,etc. I am no mechanic and the people on here have far more knowledge than me and maybe I am lucky, but mine has been brilliant. I make sure that everything is done and then check it. By the way, mine is nearly at 130,000 miles. Hope this helps in some way.
