Was in dealers compound today checking my new GS (1st March) and noticed all models now only have TD4 on right side of tailgate. All were auto models. No GS, XS or HSE All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

its been noticed on here already

Tata cost cutting, no badge, no spare wheel, no PDC button  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

wonder what will be next on the chopping board?

Steering wheel? Or perhaps they'll join Toyota and forget to fit brakes...

What happened to the 2-seat utility version Maybe they will reintroduce that model as the standard 2WD and we have to pay for all the extras  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Dealer ordered all his stock vehicles with full size alloy spare. £180 inc vat extra. So I do have a spare, pity I had already bought 4 as new SE wheels and tyres on ebay. Worked out alright as I fitted them at about 19000mls (present miles 25500) and original GS wheels and tyres will go back on before it goes back. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

My Freelander has just arrived at the dealers, and has HSE badge on tailgate.  07 FL2 TD4 Manual XS Izmir Blue, Alpaca

When I ordered my FL2 1.5 years ago I was asked by the Dealer if I wanted the badges to be fitted
Perhaps future owners will not want them? 
Freelander II 2,2 TD SE Stornoway Grey

Sorry for my wry English. I began to study it recently.
I'll be thankful for your corrections of my mistakes

If you check the newly designed LR UK website you will see (under specifications) which FL2 models carry the "Tyre Inflation Kit", "Temporary Wheel" and which carry the "Full Size Spare Wheel" as standard equipment. Very transparent

Only Sport LE has spare..........note to self remove spare from car prior to trading in

That Joke nearly went under the RADAR

Went into the dealer today to sign a registration doc (so they can tax it i think, didn't ask) and saw my car on the forecourt. Checked the badge situation and following the previous posts wasn't surprised to see no badge. Was bit surprised that the GS next to it DID have a badge tho, and an S in the showroom did too. Is it just luck of the draw or do you specifically have to opt in to a badge now, I dunno.

I didn't have time to give it a once over today, but it looked good. Can't wait for Monday now

No excuses about rain, wind, hail, snow or alcohol..... we will have some pictures in our gallery on Monday won't we trg

Will try my very bestest to get a pic on Monday, and get it on here. Here is a a quick snap i took with my phone tho...

The '10' reg looks good, but obviously not as good as the car
