Thread: Freelander information on buying

You should be able to get a reasonable 300TDI Disco 1 for that or not a lot more, and it has a ladder chassis 4x disc brakes and LOW RANGE so that she will be able to follow you off road, and it is a 4 cylinder,a little bigger than a Freebee,so she won't get shoved off the road

And it would be home servicable no computers

I love my Freelander, it's brilliant!

On top of the usual service history, the main things to look out for are seized viscious units, worn IRD units and knackered rear diff bushes.

TD4 Auto is the best and avoid the 1.8 petrol.

Wise words my friend.!! It is a shame the bad reputation of the early 1.8 litre petrol motor has stained the whole range of Freelander 1's and even some people who are contemplating buying a Freelander 2 worry about the "reputation".Our Freebie 1 does everything we ask of it and we are very happy with it.
