Haldex Drive problems on New 2013 Freelander - what can I do?

I own a 2013 Land Rover Freelander 2 and am concerned with what looks like a Haldex rear-drive issue. I’ve been told by a mechanic that this could become a mechanical nightmare as parts of the transmission, even after a repair has been repaired.

Should I be asking for a whole new drive train to be fitted or even reject the vehicle? The car has had a problem since new and has now done 6000 miles.

Reject it but you will obviously have to pay for the 6,000 miles you have done in it. I'd cost that at six per cent of the purchase price.
