Hi Im new to the forum since Im looking to buy a second hand DS from the Uk. However Ive been hearing too much about oil dilution and rattle issues. Is there a model without these problems and does it happen to all?
I have a 2011 freelander 2 which is highly reliable; not an issue in 4 years and i am scared to chane to something more recent and nicer but less reliable. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I wouldn’t say they are unreliable. But they will have a few “issues”. Remember that you will see more of the problems on forums from a small percentage of owners. The larger percentage don’t have anything bad to post. So take them with a grain of salt.
That being said, if you buy ANY used Land Rover product be sure it’s a certified preowned that comes with a warranty. That’s just a smart thing to do when purchasing a used LR.

As far as rattles go, we have a few but they don’t bother us enough to mess with it. We usually have the music up too loud to notice. They do bother some people though.

Good luck!
