2k for the timing belt.

Coolant leaks include, coolant bottle, thermostat, and the heater core. look on the driverside underneath the dash at the fan. There is a sticker on it. if it is stained pink its leaking.



change the transmission fluid, trust me. its simlple. just open the drain at the bottom and let it flow, Then add seven quarts at a nipple at the top. easy for the dIYEr.

front brakes do go, as do the tie rods get loose. but rear end is solid.

window regulators drop with frequency mostly the RR or the LR. The speakers like to go. SOme times its all four some times one or two.
Intake manifold will rattle. its a grand for one.
PCV pipes will break causing engine misfires and rough running. not hard to replace.

Anyway, thats all of a freelander in a nutshell. SOme stuff goes alot some stuff goes immediately. Funny thing is most of the stuff can be fixed without special tools nothing really difficult for a DIYer.


Rule number one, never buy a used Land Rover from a dealer that isnt a LR or else you are bound to get royally screwed cause the techs dont know squat and dont know what to look for.
