There is also the SE spec in between which you get the SATNAV, bum warmers and half leather but still has 17" Wheels. I was tempted on the XS version too when looking. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

What do you need bum-warmers for in Britain However a NAV SAT must be a very essential feature It is quite the opposite here in the land of the midnight sun - or if you like, the never ending winter 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

In addition to the other items mentioned the XS doesn't have heated screen, heated washers, centre arm rest (front or rear), leather steering wheel or auto-dimming interior rear view mirror. The final omission isn't too much of a problem if you spec privacy glass, however the plastic rimmed steering wheel is pretty for a £26k car. I'm not a sweaty bloke but I do find it hard to grip at times |

Here in the cold (rainy side of Norway) the moon roof and sat nav is extra on the HSE, at least when I bought it last year. |

Just looked at brochure that leather pack is £1140 so pretty fair value. I should have memory seats really as Mrs G is tiny and I'm just short of 6ft At work

you could also look at getting full leather done by a after market company, you won't have the memory seats and associated things but i beleive it is quite a bit cheaper Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

Not too fussed about leather just memory seats,I esp like memory seats that work from the key so they start moving as soon as you unlock the door. one key for me, one for Mrs G. At least on the fl2 I can wind the seat back easily before I get in. It wasn't so easy on our A3 esp when it was in the garage so the door couldn't open very wide. The mirrors anrn't a big deal as we adjust these as we drive down the farm lane.

Some of us of course will never agree with CG I am lucky to be the proud owner of a HSE with most of the extras (I wanted), and therefore will give my views on the goodies CG comments on:- Xenons - EXCELLENT BRIGHTER LIGHT & COULD NEVER LIVE WITHOUT THEM (Adaptive Xenons – PROBABLY VERY GOOD, BUT I HAVEN’T REALLY SEEN THE DIFFERENCE YET) Auto wipers/lights - VERY GOOD AND WORTH THE EXTRA (I tried without on the last car - silly me) Leather - WANTED, GOT, BUT MUST SAY I AM A BIT DISAPPOINTED, AS ITS ONLY THE FACINGS THAT ARE LEATHER (NOT EVEN THE SEAT SIDES ARE LEATHER) COME ON LR WHAT ABOUT THE JAGUAR QUALITY??? Reverse beeps - ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY WORTH EVERY PENNY (Front Beeps – HELPS ME IN THE TIGHT GARAGE SO WORTH GETTING AS WELL) Built in sat nav - OK, LOOKS SMART, A REAL LUXURY FOR USE HERE IN NORWAY, BUT IN THE UK DEFINABLY NECESSARY - STICK AN OFF THE SHELF TYPE IN THE HOLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A MICKEY MOUSE ALTERNATIVE TO ME, HOWEVER THE BUILT IN ONES COULD HAVE MORE FUNCTIONS AS ON THE BMW X3. Privacy glass - WANTED IT, BUT DIDN’T GET IT, STILL WOULD HAVE LIKED IT. DIDN’T GO FOR THE STICK ON FILM STUFF, ALSO A BIT MICKEY MOUSE’ISH Metallic - LOOKS VERY NICE IN STORNOWAY GREY Grey paint - BEATS BLACK EVERY TIME - ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON’T LIKE WASHING YOUR FL2 EVERY DAY IT IS USED Tow bar - NEVER FOR A CARAVAN BUT ESSENTIAL FOR THE THULE BIKE CARRIER - SMART AND SECURE Hi spec radio/speakers - WORTH EVERY PENNY THE SOUND IS GREAT Self cleaning paint - ONLY NECESSARY FOR ALL BLACK COLOURS 18" alloys - THE ONLY ONES TO HAVE, THE 19" AND BIGGER ARE TOO FLAMBOYANT Armrest - ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY CANT UNDERSTAND THEY MAKE FL2'S WITHOUT THEM Bluetooth – JEPP, CRUCIAL - HERE WE AGREE CG, BUT NO PARROT THANK YOU VERY MUCH, NOT EVEN IF IT HAS BEAUTIFUL PLUMAGE Side tubes/steps - NO NEED FOR MOST PEOPLE EXCEPT DWARFS AND POSERS MAYBE Leather belt on boot lid - CRAP - GET A BOX TO STAND ON Key-less entry/go - THE FL2 IS NOT KEYLESS - ITS GOT A BRICK TO CART AROUND WITH YOU - THE START BUTTON IS GREAT, CAN BELT UP WHILE THE CAR STARTS AT THE SAME TIME FOR A QUICK GETAWAY Auto - WOULD HAVE LIKED AN AUTO, BUT PREFERRED ALL THE OTHER GOODIES INSTEAD (TOO BL DY EXPENSIVE) Heated seats - IN NORWAY YOU WOULD PROBABLY DIE WITHOUT THEM Heated screen - ONE OF THE SMARTEST INVENTIONS FOR NORWEGIAN USE (HELPS DEFROST -20 DEGREES OFF THE FRONT SCREEN = NO MORE SCRAPING) Well thats my contribution 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

"Leather belt on boot lid - CRAP - GET A BOX TO STAND ON" yes but then you have to put the box in the boot after you use it so then you need a second box to be able to close the lid, then you put the second box in the boot, so needing a third box, before you know it the boot is full of boxes and the boot lid is still open

I would have thought that this could be a quality issue for Tata Add a key-brick button to operate a boot-opening/closing mechanism on all Land Rovers - very handy for happy shoppers as well as all Mrs. CG's of the world ps - not that I am short or a happy shopper myself - honest 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
