LAND ROVER FREELANDER COOLANT LEAK LEADS TO ENGINE FAILURE
A DAY LATER IT STALLED. HAD IT TOWED TO LAND ROVER DEALER IN PORTLAND OREGON AND THEY TOLD ME IT APPEARS THAT IS WAS OUT OF COOLANT. THEY THOUGHT AT FIRST IT MUST BE A FAULTY THERMOSTAT OR POSSIBLY THE WATER PUMP. NOPE. THEY CAME BACK WITH THERE IS COOLANT MIXING IN WITH THE ENGINE OIL. 1,500 JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. 5,000 OR MORE TO REPAIR. THE LAND ROVER DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE THE BLOWN HOSES AND THEY TOLD THEY COULD GET IT WORKING AGAIN BUT IT WAS NOT GOING TO RUN FOR VERY MUCH LONGER. I CHECKED WITH OTHER LAND ROVER SERVICE COMPANIES AND THEY ALL REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE FREELANDER AS THEY KNEW IT WAS NOT GOING TO TURN OUT WELL. I FINALLY FOUND A MECHANIC IN PORTLAND OREGON WHO AGREED TO TAKE IT APART AND FIX IT. 9,500 AND SELLING IT FOR SCRAP SEEM LIKE A BAD IDEA. SO AS OF TODAY, JUNE 6TH I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE REPAIRS AT A LOCAL SHOP ON OUR 2004 LAND ROVER FREELANDER WITH ONLY 57K TO BE COMPLETED.

My wife complains that the D5 is hard for her to climb up in even when its lowered - she's 5'2" with a bum knee and her mother who is 5'0" has an even harder time. Do the Lucky 8 rock sliders provide a better step up for her to use to access the cabin for the vertically challenged? Since Land Rover is not seeing fit to provide us with a diesel version of the new Defender I might have to keep the TDV6 Discovery 5 a while longer - which means I'll have to armor it up too. If I can justify the sliders as a method to make it easier to climb in and out of the truck that might make her happier with it. I just wonder if stepping on the slider is an easy way in or does stepping past it make it harder. I was under the impression that the diesel won't be available at launch, but that we'll get one down the line. To address your original point, the sliders on my LR3 help enormously, but that's not a D5, so maybe reach out to one of the TReK competitors or Lucky8 directly? I believe one of them commented on my above Instagram post.
I will always be grateful for his quick actions and response that led to the recovery of my car. We leased a 2020 Discovery Sport SE yesterday and were very happy that we were able to get in to a car of our dreams for a very reasonable monthly payment. Although we weren't a big fan of our sales rep Michael, the sales manager Adam Gallardo came in and saved the day! Rachel in financing was incredible - she was very thorough, yet efficient (you won't be in financing for hours like other dealers) and very personable. We had the best time with Michael Franzi - we knew exactly what we wanted walking in today he didn't try to over sale or change our minds rather he helped us find what we came for. We appreciate you and will be back again ! This review is for both sales and the service department. First let me say, sales associate Zoran Bosiljkic was a real pleasure to deal with.
