Arrived, well pleased

Click image to enlarge

Finally taken the plunge. After many months of looking (and a brief ownership of an Audi Q3) I've put a deposit on a very clean, low mileage SD4 GS. Has a few extras above base spec, heated front screen, front fog lights, rear spoiler and led signature head lights.

So bye bye Q3 and D2, hello LR2. Can't wait. LR2 SD4 GS

Interesting, our Q3 was one of the nicest cars we’ve had, didn’t put a step wrong in three years either.

Good luck, the FL2 will feel like a full fat after your Q3 Laughing Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

The Q3 is certainly a good car in many respects and has been faultless, but for me it's not a Freelander. LR2 SD4 GS

No it’s not, it’s a crossover/4X4 big hatchback really, Freelander a different market segment.

You’ll love it, we did. Regards

Looking good, looking exactly like mine although mine came with rear tints and I've added roof rails. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Personally, having had some experience of genuine and non the roof rails
I would spend the extra and buy genuine, also remember after market tints can
add to the insurance cost.
Enjoy your Freelander 2 they are great motors Thumbs Up

I'm with Dave47 on this one, always buy GENUINE JLR roof rail parts.
