Bad engine type?

<< < (2/3) > >>

I would avoid the 1.8 petrol K series.  They are very prone due to head gasket failure (maybe earlier models) due to the way in which the cooling system is set up. This is a fault accross all K series installs from the Rover 200 to the elise. The re positioning of the thermostat fixes it ok, but Id agree that there are allways niggles.

I have a TD4 BMW Auto and its very nice indeed, I had a Disc 3 TDV6 as a courtesy car the other day and the freelander definitley felt more "nippy".

Llanigraham:
BUY A DIESEL.

Bob696:
Thanks people. I have a clearer idea now  :)

Bob696:
We pick up our 06 plate TD4 next saturday. 'Adventurer' model if that means anything to anyone. It is silver at the moment but I will spray it orange when the other half gets bored with silver :-)

AJWB:
Sounds like a nice Freelander, congrats!
