17 reg disco engine kaput

So you are saying the most reliable part of the Freelander isn't actually a LR component?

The FL2 is actually very little LR and probably the best most reliable LR they ever made because they didn't really make it. - PSA engine, 6 speed Volvo gearbox & haldex 4wd system. Volvo V70 brakes and front suspension etc, Ford Mondeo interior parts etc. its really well engineered back when Ford was able to rob Volvo's parts bins - you often see them with 150, 200k on and running fine. Afew used Volvo's 3.2 inline 6.

Wow, ok. Didn't know that. Volvo drivetrain and brakes. Wowzers. I noticed Mum and Dad's Freelander felt very Ford like inside.
