Mine did this morning and now it's gone, sometimes it happens and other times it doesn't. I would say it's normal as it's single glazed and obviously had a temperature difference.

There is something on page 28 of the manual that they are probably referring to?

2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Rimini Red

Apparently there is a new looped vent tube fitted to MY09 on.

Dealers should be able to sort you out.

Buy this months LRO mag - there is a section in there about FL2 faults - they really scrape the barrel though...

not many faults reported

DR There's always a way forward!
