So all this time and you only now pop in for a coffee!!!

Welcome to the boards

Enjoy.

thanks Gambba
Yes I just Been reading all this time and wondering how so many things can go wrong with one make of car....

All car forums are like that they highlight the bad points and often forget about the good points. But then again the forum would die if all the posts were simply telling everyone how good their car is!
And as these faults are happening to other peoples cars there is more chance mine will be a good one as they cant all be bad

Can we assume that you have not had any problems with your car to data, you state in your first post that you are very pleased with your Freelander.
P.S Welcome to the forum.

HI builder I dont want to tempt fate but no I have had none of the problems that have been on the forum YET
the car has done about 5000 miles and to date sweet as a nut

Yeah, sure same is true for most forum users R60. The vehicle is predominantly fine, but I guess that doesn't make too interesting reading on the forum! :  Life is not a dress rehearsal!

Glad to hear it rover60.

I know what you mean about negative feed back from some of the other freelander owners. I don't have mine yet (another seven weeks to go), and reading some of the posts certainly makes me nervous at times.
Then when I read that people like you have had their vehicle for a reasonable amount of time and still no problem free it helps to reasure me.

Mind you most negative posts are about minor problems and when there has been major problems a replacement has been offered it seems. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

It also seems that the longer the car has been in production the fewer problems there are, or is that just me trying to reasure myself.

New models always have teething problems and it doesn't matter which manufacturer built it.

On the plus side they get sorted under warranty and later models are sorted before the customer gets the car.

I have a friend with a 2006 VW R32 who has been trying to get a defect sorted for 2 years and being told a fix is not available even though they are still selling them

My experience of LR since 1999 has been perfect despite reviewers negative comments

I think they have had enough time Builder to get it right and hopfully yours will perform just as you want it to all the little niggly problems have been sorted with software and such like another 7 weeks that will be the longest 7 weeks you will ever know 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash,
