Freelanders like the old Discovery have also been known to have gearbox trouble. Also the 1.8 petrol unit in the Freelander struggles in that heavy body and mpg suffers.

I would avoid them.

Don't get us started again spewing abuse about the Freelander. Do a search on this forum and you'll know what I mean
