i owned a 2002 landrover freelander, numerous problems experienced. odometer started reading kilometers vice miles, engine suddenly stalled in the freeway while driving 65 mph, that is after having my car serviced by a landrover dealer and given a thumbs up. I had to have the engine rebuilt. now i am alos having problems starting it. sometimes it will start and sometimes it takes 5-10 tries before it starts.
