hi if any one can give me some advice on the f/lander 1.8 1999 model i would really be gratefull. My sister has kindly offered too let me use her freelander for a trip too st tropez this coming thursday 18th. i am now a little worried that i may have made a bad decision as it seems that the lander's suffer from head gasket problems overheating etc! & likely temperature in south of france will be 90'f+ . We were originally going in our vw golf & i have fully prepared my golf for this trip. decision is purely down too space and comfort "5 of us going." the lander does have breakdown cover etc! & is @ 72,000 miles and well maintained. please tell me im worrying for nothing i just feel that my golf would be more reliable thanks in advance!!

answer too my own question!!
i have decided to answer my own question as no freelander owners seem to want too help. anyways i am going in my trusty "vw golf GTI" i doubt wether the freelander would make it out of town. have found so many complaints about the design fault on engine causing h/gasket failure. is no wonder the rover engine plant in the UK as shut down with such bad engineering.
