What owners wrote
The brake lights on the 2002 land rover freelander (which we just purchased) are extremely misleading to anyone traveling behind the vehicle are bound to be the cause of accidents, if they havent been already. Although there are light clusters on each side of the tailgate (as there are on every vehicle in the us), they do not light up when the brakes are applied. Instead, the thin, rectangular lights in the bumper light up.
The engine/head gasket issue is the repair that is the most critical and terminal condition for the vehicle. The dealers mechanics will never fix the gasket, so they will only offer the engine replacement, but either repair will cost you more than the SUV is worth. And yes, the brake pads and then rotors wear out very quickly, because of the weight of the vehicle (the dealer says).
