The base atmospheric petrol 1.8 has very mediocre capabilities and does not meet the expectations of drivers. The 117-horsepower engine accelerates the car to 100 km / h in almost 13 seconds and consumes an average of about 11-12 l / 100 km.
Timing drive - belt type.
The 1.8-liter engine is plagued by malfunctions in the cooling system, which leads to a breakdown of the cylinder head gasket. Sometimes you have to change the head of the block (cracks occur).
After 250-300 thousand km, oil consumption often increases. Replacing the valve stem seals does not always help. Usually the oil burner occurs due to the occurrence or wear of the piston rings. Cylinder liners can also fail.
In terms of dynamics, a 6-cylinder 177-horsepower engine with a displacement of 2.5 liters is more preferable, which allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in 10 seconds. In addition, it is quite elastic. This engine is quite gluttonous. In urban driving conditions, he will need about 15 l / 100 km.
The V6 timing mechanism is driven by three belts. The largest connects the camshafts and crankshaft. The camshafts of each of the heads are interconnected by belts located on the side of the gearbox.
When replacing belts, it is important to use a special tool to fix the sprockets. Otherwise, you can damage the attachment points of the stars to the camshafts.
After 250-300 thousand km, oil consumption may increase, and burnout or valve destruction occurs.
In the line of diesel engines, two power units with a working volume of 2 liters are available. One of them is a 2.0 DI manufactured by Rover. It is very weak - only 98 hp. and has relatively many hardware problems, usually due to malfunctions of various sensors. Owners often complain about sluggish dynamics - just over 15 seconds, which they are not ready to put up with, even despite the relatively low fuel consumption - about 7 l / 100 km.
The timing belt is driven by a toothed belt, which should be renewed every 60,000 km.
Another 2.0 TD4 engine is made by BMW and has the designation M47. Compared to the Rover diesel, it has acceptable performance (112 hp), providing better dynamics (14.4 s) at the same level of fuel consumption (about 8 l / 100 km).
The gas distribution mechanism is driven by a durable chain.
But the BMW-ash turbodiesel sometimes causes problems with the turbocharger or injection system.
Petrol 1.8 was combined exclusively with 5-speed mechanics, and petrol 2.5 - with a 5-speed automatic Jatco JF506E.
Diesel versions of the 2.0 DI were paired with a manual transmission, and the TD4 was paired with both manual and automatic transmissions.
The factory manual transmission clutch usually served over 200-250 thousand km.
The machine has to be repaired after 250-300 thousand km. Usually the solenoids give up first. In case of more serious malfunctions, many prefer to replace the box with a contract one.
After 200-300 thousand km, the viscous coupling fails. She begins to wedge, because of which jerks appear in the corners, and tires begin to whistle. You can't push for repairs. The wedge of the clutch leads to additional loads on the transfer case and rear gearbox, which reduces their resource. A failing viscous coupling can usually be revived by replacing the viscogel. It is rare to change the clutch itself.
At high mileage, the rear gearbox or transfer case may make noise.
Leaks of transmission fluids through tired oil seals are also inevitable.
Periodically it is necessary to update the outboard bearings of the cardan shaft. And after 250-300 thousand km, the CV joint wears out in front of the cardan.
Before buying a car, you need to check the condition of the suspension. The most vulnerable are the stabilizer struts and bushings, transverse levers.
Wheel bearings on all wheels are the same and are changed separately.
Occasionally there are problems with the steering.
Over the years, more and more corrosion is found in the lower part of the front fenders and on the thresholds. Surface rust can be observed inside the wheel arches and on the spars.
And due to the oxidation of aluminum, door glass seals swell.
Land Rover has run several service campaigns involving over 40,000 Freelanders. The promotions affected: suspension, electrics, parking brake, fastening and adjustment of the front seats, as well as locking the rear doors.
Electrical equipment is not the Freelander's forte. Often, engine equipment, air conditioning or ABS sensors fail.
Very often the descent assistance system - HDC - fails. First of all, dilapidated wiring or a loose throttle cable is to blame.
Unpleasant surprises can deliver power windows.
In age specimens, problems often arise with the heating system - a stove radiator is rented out.
