Preventative maintenance 2014 (76k)

This car is New to me 6 weeks ago what should I be looking to do to it ?

I've got a timing belt and water pump kit waiting for a couple of hours spare on my friend's ramp
What else should I look at ?

I think it's worth going to a specialist for a proper gear box flush and oil change. We just did ours and gear changes feel smoother. 👍

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Santorini Black

Can second MMP recommendation. Good guy and knows his stuff.

Whites Auto Services (an LR indy) just off Dalry Road are also worth checking out if Dundee isn't suitable. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

I wouldn't use flushing oil...it stays in the gearbox and changes the oil properties just warm the gearbox then drain and refill. Thumbs Up

Mine came from your part of the world originally and I was quite shocked at the amount of salt on its bottom, when I steam cleaned it I could taste the salt in the spray, bear in mind I live 1km from the sea here and I’m used to seeing corrosion.

If your keeping it give it a good clean, get those sills full of wax and oil and get a good coat of your favourite underbody protection on the vulnerable bits.
