Well after months of thinking then weeks of searching i found a freely and took the plunge. Its a 2010 HSE In zermatt silver with ebony interior. Every toy except xenons but il take care of that soon enough. Been driving it all day getting used to a very different feel to my focus estate! Really chuffed so far. Got some goodies on order already. Just one pic i took as i left dealership for now.

Very nice, hope you enjoy it

What goodies are on order then?

Just some little things rear tyres are a little low so i bartered enough off to replace them, 2x pirelli Scorpions on the way. Also when my 9yr old Lab tryed to investigate it earlier he nearly busted his legs up, so telescopic ramp for him. In terms of non essentials its wind deflectors, hst grill, gvif box with correct lead and reverse camera. Oh and a rechargeable battery for spare fob as it only works for about 5 seconds after taking it from dock right now. Lol

What mileage? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

67000 but full land rover service history with tons of receipts. Its clearly not wanted for nothing. 6 month warranty.

67000, you should have 4 receipts, one for each service, you have tons?

Well not everything happens at a service you know. Got the service receipts, a faulty switch pack replacement, plus wear and tear items like tyres, wiper blades, etc.

Nothing out of the usual, but its good to know previous owner wasnt the type to say "that can wait till service is due".

It was tongue in cheek, someone who has kept receipts for wipers etc has looked after it, probably reassuring to see them

Loads of info on here if you ever need it, enjoy the car, silver is good on a Freelander

Ah, that dosnt always come over in text. Lol. Was begining to think id made a wrong move as all i seem to be hearing is "hope you got a long warranty as its going to break" 😒

Hopefully its one of the good ones 🙈

i always do that... To my mind having receipts for the small stuff as well adds to the value of the car.

Ive got to ask though... I thought all HSE s came with every thing including xenons except the newer ones with the audi lights ?

I hope you got a receipt for the warranty as it's going to break


























Looks nice  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I must admit I have all the receipts too, all attached to expenses in the accounts department

Stick with us Colin, we are all here to help, expect a little humour along the way

No. HSE was/still is optional on Xenon's, the only exception being HSE Lux/Metropolis. I was annoyed that they chose to drop the Adaptive Xenon's from MY2013 onwards, yet kept them on the Ewok.  Foraging near Gaydon....

Well i got a text today from dhl telling me my parcel has been delivered, thinking i wasnt expecting anything i assumed my ebay account was being hijacked by my mother again (must change that password). Got home to find its the gvif cable i ordered from gsmserver late sunday night. Absolutly shocked its come this quick from hong kong. The uk supplier i went with for the gvif itself havent even dispatched it yet. Great service time!

DHL.... China is only 10 hours away, dedicated planes and a slick operation, they can do around the world what British Mail can't do from a sorting office 1.5 miles down the road
