Car has only been in the garage for the two bearing changes (Warranty Direcct). This was an independant LR garage as it seems most use when the LR warranty runs out. My mechanic friend is a classic Mini specialist and I would not trust him near anything with a digital read out. Due a 60k service (at the same garage) in the next couple of weeks so it will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Drove 300 miles over the weekend and found myself driving to the rev counter to avoid the driveline vibration. 6th gear will not work below 65mph without causing the shakes. 50 in 5th is the worst. Use lots of fuel.

its quite interesting the range of different issues that strike. I have a 95,000 TD4 example that I have currently had for 11,000 miles and I have had a new Flywheel, Airbag Crash Sensor and an Aux Belt idler or something. Thankfully most covered by warranty/dealer!

I did 90000 miles in mine and only had a new clutch, flywheel and back diff, and thats all, nothing at all until 65000 when the clutch started slipping, very good I thought and didnt cost me anything to fix either as still under warranty.

I've owned my freelander 2 for almost 3 years clocked 30,000 miles and had a failed duel mass flywheel at 82,000 miles then a faulty rear door solenoid now a leaking rear Haldex unit now at 92,000 miles this is due to a rusted core plug. |

Sounds to me like you have bought a dog of a car. Every manufacturer has bad ones.

I do feel for you, as having a bad car is quite upsetting. But don't let it put you off buying another.
