High Mileage FL2

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has covered a high mileage with FL2, any problems along the way and how the car is performing. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Santorini Black
High Mileage

Whats a high mileage - I have 82k on mine - faults since new include 3 total battery discharges over 4 years; new steeering pump; problem with auto lights and wipers eventually found in alarm system?. Pretty good in my opinion. Still massively impressed with performance and driving comfort, planning a replacement in the spring.

I have also covered about 82K in a Mar 07 FL2. Initially had the software problems with non starts etc - sorted by updates - had a new Haldex unit in the 1st year, and the Alarm unit fault as well in the first year or so. But it has only got better with age!!! - The car is running better than ever at present - even the rear door handle didn`t freeze in the last cold weather, and thats a first! 37.5mpg is on the trip computer (last 7k miles or so) and it really feels like it could go on for many, many more miles. I briefly flirted with the idea of changing it a 3 years old, but decided not to throw depreciation money away when I had a perfectly good vehicle.
I`ve probably put the kiss of death on it now and everything will pack up next week!!!! Don`t drive faster than your angel can fly!

82k is a pretty good test.
I'm pleased that you both seem happy thus so far. It sort of gives the picture that once the initial probs are sorted then the car is fine. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.
