Help - I looked at one today but I'm not convinced !?

(1/4) > >>

cardiff_gareth:
well looked at one today and I have doubts on it.
It was up for £4250, X reg TD4 81k miles F(LR)SH

Firstly the back door was leaking, the was loads of condensation on the rear door and when I opended the safe up it was really wet in there, the guy tried telling me it was condensation from being so cold and to prove it he opened the 02 plate next to it - it was bone dry, he looked well daft  :lol:
Do LR still fix this problem under warranty :?:

back door, off the alarm fob I could get the window down but on locking it stayed down, should it go back up :?:

No parcel shelf

Up front and the windscreen has all water droplets on the inside, like hen it rains and you get them big beads of water on the outside, well this was on the inside, do Freelanders suffer from dodgy windscreens

clock had given up the ghost

On the test drive it smoked like hell, close to the back door there was black smoke every now and then but mostly whitish grey.

Gets back and I reverve it with full lock on back into its space and, i'm not sure cause it was uphill slighly but it felt like it was braking when I eased off the gas :?:

Lastly, this concerned me more than anything, the coolent was red so that was ok but it was bubbling, in Disco terms that means pressure and dodgy head gasket, it is the same with a Freelander, he undid the expansion filler cap and it, what can only be described as exhaust fumes from it that quickly disappeared after a few seconds

It drove really nice and I liked the fact it has power and was quiet but is this a walk away jobbie and keep searching :?: :?:

denviks:
the rear window goes up with the key in the rear boot door lock..... :wink:

think i would walk away from that one mate  :wink:

barmiebrumie:
Dont walk away  RUN

sounds like a bad one to me, we sold one earlier this year that had no water problems but did have a sticky back window :roll: ,

smoke & bubbling mmm --- no thanks's, there's plenty more on the market

This is quite common on the 3 door models. You will find one that is dry so look elsewhere.

If you mean making it go right down by holding the button on the fob, it does only go down, not up. I guess it's aimed at putting shopping in the back, then getting it to drive off and raising it from inside.
If you mean just going down an inch or so and staying there, then it's faulty.

Walk away!

Defo think its a walk waway jobbie, i'll keep looking, they're so hard to get hold of arn't they  :evil:
