This is the standard problem that will happen to all 1.8 engines sooner or later. Is normally terminal and very expensive as in a new engine - sorry.
Do a search and you will find heaps on this problem.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE - tow it to a specialist and get it checked out - if you are very very very lucky you might just need a new head gasket, more likely a new head will be required and even more likely a new engine as the cylinder liners drop with overheating - sorry about the doom and gloom but there is no easy way to say it. As I said you might be lucky but don't drive the car.
Good luck - but do a google or search the Freelander forums and you find lots of information on this problem.
Sorry
Garry
