How much does it cost to clear this car here? I intend to bringing it to Nigeria.

Note: I'm not buying it but will only pay for shipping and clearing here.

Who has experience on the car should kindly advice me on its reliability, maintenance and fuel consumption or general advice please.

Thank you in advance. God bless.

Wheres Lalasticlala sef?

grayht:

Just say something biko. This sign will not help

well, my predecessors have always maintained an opinion that all vehicles are good if you do the standard maintenance as at when due....

I have always had a different opinion....

Buy it, you would enjoy every drive in it.

The freelander is a no go area for the petrol Engine be it 4cylinder or 6cylinder, the Rover k series engine are the most grossly engineered piece of crap.

The diesel case is different with the BMW manufactured engine or the Rover diesel, you are covered. The manual transmission would ensure the vehicle last you till you grow old.

I dropped this info because you have a diesel engine don't let anybody coerce you into ever switching to petrol Engine cause that would be the beginning of the end.

I honestly appreciate this piece of advice. But how do I know the one above is a diesel/petrol or 4/6 plug? What series is the car?

Respect boss!

I have not been a able to ask the owner Cox he has not told me directly of the gift.

If you look at the rear pix you posted, your trim is Td4 that means you have a BMW m47 2.0L diesel engine in that vehicle, I am not sure whether it's a 4x4 but if it is, then you have an advantage in the off-road segment and your fuel consumption would be great.

Your next line of action should be how to take care of a diesel engine, you can also research the M47 engine, it's likes and what to watch out for.

find 9icetoo/ivoryhouse for how to use a diesel car in Nigeria

find Denn an expert in BMW and it's engines maybe he has come across the M47 Engine before.

Save your money and look elsewhere.

Your own advice please. I can't really decode the angle you are coming from.

Bad choice Bro. This Car is not reliable at all. How many did you see on our Roads? They are all abandoned by their owners at different Mechanic workshops.

The diesel engines were of two types and the one in your car is the M47R which was an adaptation of the BMW M47D20.

The M47D20 on its own and in BMW applications was reliable. In the BMW, it was mounted longitudinally (like all BMWs)

However during modification by landrover, they made it transverse and changed the injection to common rail.

Common rail injection depends on very high pressures to injection the diesel. High pressures lead to heat... Now engine is transverse... Plus it has a turbocharger.


Your main concern would be overheating.

Always ensure your cooling system is in top condition and buy diesel from the filling stations with reputation like Mobil, forte, etc

If i were you however, I would ask the giver to sell the car, i would not mind adding 1000 euros of my own money and sending to get a different car like a Mercedes ML or a BMW X5.

Your shipping and clearing costs would be similar to those cars I mentioned and the value would have gone way higher.

Cheers

Save your money and consider another brand/model. This freelander isn't reliable at all. A close colleague bought it and experienced hell and at the end sold it out for #350K due to the series of frustration he experienced. It's one problem today and another tomorrow.

The final decision lies on you.

A perfect classic example of when devil sleeping, you carry toothpick go dey prick him in the arse.

The petrol version is evil, the one you have there has a BMW diesel engine. It's reliable and fuel economical ,but issue is how do you maintain it here. Mechanics for diesel car are not readily available like petrol versions. It doesn't make sense buying a car you may not be able to maintain or maybe implant another car manufacturer engine.

Dig through thread.... Someone adapted a Toyota Camry engine, into this freelander.........

The person no gree show again, maybe that Toyolander is now RIP..........

no vehicle is evil, all it takes is the right maintenance culture

I'm not in favour of such. I'm only telling him what he'll likely see if he gets it. Bad choice.

The petrol version is not what you want to own. You can read up reliability of the petrol K series engine that was used for the petrol version if you have not owned the vehicle and i'm speaking of running it in europe.
