Test driven the freelander yesterday , loved the car ,but not the dealer ,very rude and how many people does it take to do a sale, I had three gang up on me very pressured environment. Didn't even get to a deal on paper as the PX offer was derogatory, and all they wanted to know was 'have we a deal' bearing in mind the PX was a thousand less than other places, not a snow ball in hells chance.
It didnt start well when they told me that I didnt have appointment and the sales bloke wasn't in , day off, the fact that I'd phoned Monday and made the appointment, then Thursday to confirm it, but the sales chap was not at his desk, he would ge back me , he didnt, I then phoned Friday to be told it was his day off .I will phone the sales manager Monday morning. Just to add insult to injury the car they were offering me wasn't the one I test drove, it was some where else, but I could have secured it for a conditional deposit of 1000 pounds!!! What's that all about. I just couldn't get through to the loud idiot with the lap top that the deal was dependent on the PX offer... prat

I found exactly the same with our local land rover dealer, they give the impression they are doing you a favour and their attitude stinks. They couldn't source the used model I wanted, yet it was in stock at another dealer who happily dealt with me by phone and we did the deal by phone and internet. He even offered a part ex amount for my Audi without seeing it. He took me at my word

He then drove to my house for the exchange, trinity land rover was who I used. Hope it wasn't them who you are talking about my experience was about 7 years ago though and obviously staff change.

If it is new then hoist in that the Freelander is to be replaced; so they will be especially keen to get a deal but at as attractive to them as possible. Many punters know what is around the corner and not buying that vehicle at the moment.
Even I got solicited to think about one, even though we have run larger LR products continuously since the 80s, and they know it is not suited to our needs.

It's the px that needs to be around the same amount as I got offered at a Honda and Subaru dealer, at the moment the likes of stratstone and landrover are offering 1000 less, which then I would need to add to the finance deal, and I might add some of the apr on the dealership finance packages are pretty hefty, your looking at 11 percent, when a bank will lend at around 5
I'll keep looking, probably set my budget a little lower and look at the fl2 xs on a 2010 plate , with higher mileage

Bit like the poor bloke who won £107mill on the lottery last week. Tried to buy a McLaren P1 & found there were none left.

Less than impressed by Land Rover dealers ... two I'm still waiting for someone to even offer help ... the third was VERY rude about my trade in - a Skoda Yeti. Needless to say we didn't buy a Land Rover.

In fairness your listing of failed components used in the Freelander 1 could also be extended to any other 4x4, diesel, manual you wish to mention.

You are not going to avoid these components, but of course the FL1's engine, associated parts, etc were from BMW and the FL2's from Ford/Peugeot.

It must be Land Rover dealers in general as we have had a couple of bad experiences with after sales care. Does put you off when as soon as you've signed the cheque, you are of no interest to them. So much for repeat business!

Stratstone's do not have very good reputation over lots of the different marques they sell from comments on various forums.
You might be better looking slightly further afield, in the more rural areas. Hereford LR seem to have quite a good reputation.
