United Kingdom 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Orkney Grey

Hello all

Just joined the forum. Have bought a 60 plate TD4 GS in Orkney Grey.

Have had an FL1 (Hippo) TD4 for the last 4 years. We decided to go to the FL2. Only had it couple of days but all seems ok so far.

It is a Land Rover after all so I expect I'll be visiting here a few times over the next few years.

Cheers all

United Kingdom 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Lago Grey

Hello to everyone,

I have joined the forum as I have no doubt I will need members help and maybe, I too might be able to offer insight and advice in the years to come.
With my other half, we have since October 2018 become Land Rover owners with a new Disco Sport as the good car and the FL2 as the workhorse. The 2 cars (actually the DS is a car and the FL2 a truck in comparison) are chalk and cheese; it's hard to believe that they use the same basic floorpan. That said, the FL2 does therefore have character.
I will post up what has been done with it at some point soon.

Looking forward to becoming a regular here.

Australia 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Hi folks,

Have owned my Freelander 2 for 5 years now after buying 2nd hand 2 years old with 30,000km on the clock. It has racked up 130,000km now, never been off-road. Has had a rear diff pinion bearing replaced at 40,000km (warranty), starter motor rebuild at 80,000km, EGR Valve water leak repaired (90,000km), about to do the diff pinion bearing again. Now have a major shudder under acceleration, any gear, between 1400 - 1800RPM. LR Main Dealer says its the rear diff (which I rather doubt). I have pulled the Haldex fuse and the problem remains. Would anyone care to suggest a cause for this issue?

Australia 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Auto Santorini Black

Hi, I have owned my 2012 Freelander 2 since buying it new in Melbourne, Australia. Have been through a few issues - water leak in EGR, incorrect fuel sensors showing that the car had a quarter tank of diesel fuel when it was actually empty (this resulted in fuel injectors needing to be replaced). Recently had the IRD (essentially the center transfer case) replaced.

However, I haven't given up on it yet! I am now setting it up to tow a caravan. The Freelander has been wired with two Anderson Plugs and a 12-pin trailer socket.

The car tows the caravan effortlessly but I have an issue with the LED running lights on the van flickering. The indicators and brake lights work OK. I saw a post which suggested that a resistor wired into the circuit would solve this problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, you will have no problem when you add the adapter harness - about $35 on eBay. The Ford harness for Ranger/Mondeo will do it.
Try to make sure you put your questions in the appropriate category to get maximum exposure and responses.

The D2 is mostly used for large dog moving duties and rural road focussed but as you know roads in EA are 50% off road by default...looking for a replacement that can handle the same environment but with more pace and potentially more mpg but with similar capability...was considering a D3 but I think that’s likely to be a more expensive running cost option.
