Has lots of issues, with high cost of maintenance, would suggest you go for the 2003 version.

Why won't I wish such a car on my enemy? At least the car will keep him/her too occupied (and broke) to scheme evil.

Sounds good. Could you post pictures of the engine bay on this thread, so potential buyers of the Landrover Freelander can see and learn?

Seeing as that is what this thread is all about.

I guess half of this bad reputation is cos a poor quality of conversion from RHD to LHD.

1.8 petrol engine in freelander has an issue with headgasket but after fitting a naw set of head bolts and new metal version of headgasket everything is just fine.

I'm afraid it goes way beyond fitting a metal laminate cylinder head gasket, and a new set of stretch bolts.

The very design of the Rover K-Series engine was poor, flawed from the very onset of production. The cylinder head castings were poor, the steel liners in the aluminium block were badly supported, and they recessed, leaving the tops with inadequate sealing pressure from the gasket.

Many a K-Series block has passed through my shop.

The Freelander was one of British Leyland / Rover's worst models, poor design all through. The reasons not to buy one far outweigh any reasons to buy.

In Europe they using them with 2.0 diesel engine that originally came from bmw .
Cos to be honest, 1.8 even if it has no headgasket issue it's simply to weak for this car ...

The BMW common-rail turbo diesel was only fitted from September 2003 till end of series 1 production.

Prior to this time, the 2.0 diesel fitted from 1996-2003 was a Rover design. Heavy, under-powered and extremely noisy. More clattery than an old generator.
