Not 3,2 V6, it's a straight 6 cylinder engine, supplied by Volvo |

haha ![]() Yes, it's a 3.2 liter inline 6 that is also used in several Volvos. The original Freelander had the Chinese sourced V6 in the US. 2008 3.2L I6 Auto |

Nothing Chinese about the original V6 back then, it was all British. The Chinese bought the IP rights to the V6 for next to nothing (in a clever bit of negotiation with an incompetent team from MG Rover and then shipped out the production tooling to China soon afterwards) just as the Freelander 1 was going out of production. All Freelander 1 V6's were built in Longbridge in Birmingham. |

First mistake - believing someone from the dealer knows what they are doing/talking about.
