2.2 Td4 GS 5d Auto
Land Rover Freelander Stationwagon 2006

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I bought the car from a main dealer with full service history and thought it was the most brilliant car I had ever had, particularly for towing a caravan. Unfortunately, the differential developed a whine at 85000 miles and the main dealer diagnosed that it needed to be replaced. I am very disappointed that a major component should fail at this mileage. I have been in contact with Land Rover Customer relations to raise this as a quality issue. They advise me that this is 'not a known problem', hence I ticked 'no I wouldn't recommend it'

How reliable do you find the car?

The rear Differential became noisy at around 85,000 miles, the main dealer confirmed the differential needed replacing. The boot switch became intremittant and was replaced.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I bought it for towing a caravan, its brilliant, stable and powerful just where it is needed.
