People,

 I've looked at other threads about the Freelander, but I'm after any info about the Freelander td4, with the BMW diesel engine, registered on or about 2004.

 Lots of people seem to have lots to say about them, but would ideally like to hear  of  any first hand experiences, good or bad!!!!

thanks!!!

Don't get one

I had a Freelander TD4 for 6 months and got rid of it - it was definitely a friday afternoon car. New clutch (at 30,000 miles), new air-mass sensor (30,000 miles, broken reversing gear selector (40,000 mile)s  plus a few other annoying bits and pieces

Got myself a big old Omega 2.2 diesel that is heavier than the Freelander and tows a million times better - and haven't got stuck in any mud yet.....touch wood.

If they were any good there wouldn't be rucks of them for sale on LR dealer forecourts.......

Never owned one but never heard good reports of them.

Unreliable, glad to see the back of it and cr*p are words used by people I do know that have owned them.

Look for another towcar

I for one will never forgive BMW for what they did to landrover in their short ownership of the company.

Laird John        Stop trying to convert these would be Rust Rover Owners .

After all if they all saw sense and bought a Pajero   who would we laugh at ?

my freelander is the 2004 shape td4 commercial no back seats we tow with it caravan and large trailers its fuel efficiant for its size and have no problems early freelanders mainly 1.8 petrol had problems. due to out door events i have taken this off road not just a grass camp site it has more capablties than you would need.

the freelander is not a big car or 4 x4 so is good around town it rivals are ravs etc.
