A lot of probs with the Freelander petrols, have a google.  I would not waste money putting an LPG on one and personally would not touch one with a bargepole but plenty of people do have them.

I'd have a hunt around the net so you know the pitfalls first though!

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

They are very thirsty, better to have the TD4 diesel.

I vaguely remember reading a review of the V6 Freeloader in a caravan mag a few years back.   IIRC, they got around 10mpg towing on the motorway!!!
