my dad had a 2.5 v6. sounds really nice and moved like shit off a shovel lol got it in 2002 when it was 18 months old 4 £12,000 and when we got rid of it in 2009 only managed 2 get £2,000 for it coz noone wants big engined cars anymore espcially as it was really bad 4 fuel economy! i do miss the sound of the engine thou lol and changed it a renault megane scienic on a 54 plate. brilliant fule economy wise but nothing compared to the engine noise from the freebie lol
@LakelandNomad WTF? I have the petrol one. It's 1.8 liter engine. I don't think it's weak. It run quite smoothly. Don't expect acceleration of F1 car man :D. It's not bad for SUV. It need kick because it likes high revs.
I agree about head gaskets. You better check it befor buying. It's quite expensive. I read you have to change this long screws (sorry about it, I don't know English word) which weld all engine together. What else can I say? Chceck viscose, vbecause it can be dead and waste your gearbox.
I bought a 04 freelander last october, in december thanks to the superb gritting efforts by my local council, a 7.5 ton lorry skidded on black ice and ran into the back of it. pushing it 4 metres forward into a focus. I got out unharmed and the cabin was undamaged. Car was written off so ive bought an identical 04 TD4 SE hardback in oslo blue. Buying a Discovery 3 in sept though. tdv6 hse auto for the win! :)
noit wasnt good,ifyou lookat the roofofthe car you can see the chassisbending,andthese crashesareonlygoingat about35 mph, so if you crash it at 50/60 it would be a completely different story.
piece of shit, my friend had one, nothing but problems since day one

My TD4 is spot on. Tows well on and off road. Much better than a BMW x5. They drown in water deeper than 6 inchs, and get stuck in the dry.

Freelanders aint bad for the price as long as you get a TD4, which you can pick up for around £1000.
Avoid the petrol one's they are too underpowered and have weak head gaskets.
