I'm still trying to book mine and have been since i got the car in March. They say that the N yorks site is fully booked and to try again later. The next date to try and book is 1st Sept. So fingers crossed i'll get it booked before the voucher expires in Jan 2011.
They state that i can book one of the other sites but they are all too far away for a couple of hours off roading.

Well we're off to Ashford tomorrow morning for our 'Experience' session. For once I'm actually hoping that it rains.  2010 HSE Auto in Santorini Black/almond with xenons and privacy glass.

Have also done Dunkeld twice, once pre purchase and once post purchase (one or two photos in my gallery). You will be amazed at what the Freelander can do. We also did the rock crawl (picking a route of smaller rocks admittedly) that the 'bigger' vehicles do.

Done this last Sunday in Ashford Kent. Decided to do it in a Range Rover Sport. Bad mistake I want one!
Had a great day in the rain and mud, the RRS is amazing as was the Freelander 2 doing it at the same time!
Time to start saving for the RRS.

I did the same, FL2 x2 D3x1 and then the last one my choice was the new RRS, great ride comfort levels

if I could drop off the FL2 tomorrow and collect a RRS i would, but relalistically with the family a D4 would be better suited for the extra seats and space

Just have to wait a couple or so more years for a swap, the wife want her new car first  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Would highly recommend the experience but don't pay for it. I did it a year ago when deciding which car to buy - FL2 or the Audi Q5. The FL was a no brainer after the day - I may not go off road (at all) but nor do I dive 2000 metres and my watch is waterproof.

My instructor kept reminding me not to brake which overrides the HDC program. Natural instinct is to brake but this would cause you to most probably lock the wheels, skid and lose control. Phil

It would overide the HDC but not lock the wheels, ABS would still cut in. 2010 HSE Auto in Santorini Black/almond with xenons and privacy glass.

And it will override only on quite heavy braking. You can still "feather" the pedal without problems. We Don't Care About Pot Holes !!

can i ask - how much driving do you get to do on the LRE? do they really push the vehicles? - and can someone sit in the back free of charge?

reason i ask is, i want to get my wife on one of these days so that she knows what the fl2 can do. she's a good driver i just want her to be confident in using the FL2 when it comes to challenging conditions - as we live rural and last winter was a nightmare


cheers

I don't know how much driving you get yet as I only booked it last week, but they can take three people in addition to the instructor at no extra cost.

explain that story to your dealer, he may/may not give you two tickets . dont ask = dont get  At work
