I'd feel a bit more confident in their advice if they were to get the picture right! |

) so the vehicles will all be over three years old after LR warranty has expired, so a lot of the data will relate to the original Freelander.| Tigger Member Since: 30 Mar 2011 Location: L15KRD Posts: 2555

Consumer surveys (Which?, JD Power) usually show that the FL2 is significantly more reliable than anything else that Land Rover make, usually placing Land Rover around a 1/5th from the bottom of the survey. Much as I might like the idea of a Disco or Range Rover, this aspect would worry me... |

It scares the hell out of me, even more so because of the dealer I have near me and the grief from SWMBO if it broke down | asinrute Member Since: 07 Sep 2010 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 63

I suggest you look at the link before you try to make a "clever" reply It was the telegraph reporting The results of aWarranty Direct survey FL2 HSE Sumatra black with body kit |

I really hope it works out well for you. Must as it might scare me, I'd be straight down to the Land Rover dealer (given a much larger budget than I have now) and would ignore all of the alternatives!

They have got the right photo (I think!!) it is a 2006 Freelander - NOT a FL2. Hope I rread that right otherwise I'd look a bit stupid  2002 Honda VFR800

It's referring to it as "2006 - " , which, judging by what is written about other cars, seems to mean "2006 to date", so that would mean the FL2. |

Sir, I am very able to follow the link provided and I am in full prowess of all my faculties. I stand by my comments. What is evident is that no member of either (the aforementioned bodies) are on the Board of Tata. Opportunistic oeuvre oligopoly does not lend itself to objectivity. My advice: never take surveys or newspaper reports at face value or you'll end in a communication's rutted ruse. |

RRS or Eternal Damnation. Which of the two is the best place to be embodied?
