At 42 thousand miles my engine needed to be replaced. 2 thousand miles after the warrenty was ended. I looked on line and found this to be a cronic problem. Several webite dedicated to Freelander that were lemons sonme had replaced the engine 2 or three times. All my service was done at the dealership. After the engine was replaced the car overheated again. The dealership said the headbolts needed to tightened (can't belive they had the nerve to tell me that)...I am scared to drive this car.. Do some research .. dont buy one
You'll get to know the service guy

This car is very fun to drive and is a blast with the top off. The problem is keeping it out of the service department. The windshield wipers failed twice, windshield washer once, one recall for brake lights. The car wouldn't start at all the 2d day I had it & had to be towed back to the dealer, & problems with the transmission. The key is to enjoy it and then get rid of it before the warranty expires.

I bought an almost new '02 Freelander SE off the showroom floor with a couple thousand miles on it. I say I feel lucky because I was able to pay it off and drive it for about a year after. For that reason I feel at least I got something out of it. In addition I spent countless days at the dealer (while under warranty) and became really familiar wih my mechanic and his family. I think i put his daughter thru college. This car is a money pit. EVERYTHING breaks down from the simple like the cup holder to the complex, like the transmission. I loved the car at first but towards the end I had to quit driving the car in the auto transmission mode and HAD to change the gears myself. Even then it finally failed completely. The electronic were horrible! The windows, especially the rear one; the exterior lights (all of them); the doors; the brakes; even the coolant system REGULARLY failed! I am writing this to warn those tempted by Land Rovers. They can be VERY seductive and the new ones look and drive GREAT! I can't say I did not read about some problems before buying one, but I was seduced by the mystique. I can say this however: ANYONE who buys ANY Land Rover and who is not very rich are asking for years of GRIEF!

This car is great - if it's for you. My wife and I are young, no kids, but have a very large dog. We live in the midwest, so there's lots of snow in the winter and it's hot in the summer. This car is perfect. Tons of storage with the seats folded down. Handles like a low-end sports car. And the 2004 had the interior improved to make it more Land Roverish. The outside was dramatically improved as well, it looks more like a Range Rover now. Just owning this car makes you want to drive it.
JUNK!

2 days after purchase, check engine light on..return to dealer..Needs new motor...common for this model..Ford Warranty ESP kicks in..$9600.00 for a new motor! Then Differential goes..now right front axle is gone...all covered under warranty...but it has spent more time in the shop then in my garage...Can't wait to get it back so I can trade the piece of junk!
