roscoe:
My wife fancies a Freelander for herself and I have been trying to persuade her to look at the TD4. She, however, is adamant that she wants petrol.

I know all the horror stories re the early petrol engines blowing head gaskets, however, what I would like to know is was this problem rectified on the facelift model from 2004 onwards?

Is it still risky looking at a petrol?

Xtremeteam:
dont bother with a petrol as it "will" pop a gasket at some point & "will"  probably require an engine,



go for the TD4  :wink:

Is this a recurring problem, or is it fixed the first time it happens?

roscoe:
Thought as much, a TD4 it is then.

Now to find one within budget.

Thanks for the advice.

the 1800 petrol is the VM diesel of the freelander world,

once it goes its gone  :lol: might get away with just fitting a gasket but it might need to come back apart in the near future again
