Hi all

Welcome to Freel2.com, the brand new community web site for prospective owners, enthusiasts and everything else related to the forthcoming Freelander 2 (LR2) from Land Rover.

I'm Martin and I currently run DISCO3.CO.UK and RRSPORT.CO.UK - very similar sites for the new Discovery 3/LR3 and the Range Rover Sport.

Anyway, say hello here, let us know if you've got any info on the new Freelander, or have one on order, or just like the look of them from the spy shots so far

Please have a play with the forum and gallery, and do let me know any problems or queries.

Enjoy!

Martin

Hello. I’m Wayne. Be gentle I’m a silver surfer and a total newbie to Landy ownership also very fresh to this site.
I run a 2012 FL2 XS. Only had the car since January and so far am quite pleased.
I do have one quick question (I hope), when I bought the car there wasn’t an engine undertray.
My neighbour sold me one really cheap as it was just sat in his garage. It is marked FL2 TD4.
For some reaso it doesn’t fit my car. The question is, did the design change from 2010 to 2012 ?.
Many thanks in advance.

hi Wayne and welcome , don't know about the under tray and changes as all of my Freelander's have had them on already but somebody will be able to offer advice to you on here .  2009 FL2 S now gone

After lots of looking, I finally bought a 2011 Freelander 2 last week, SD4 HSE in Baltic Blue. Looks great and drives well.

I have some technical questions I'll raise in other channels. But a few observations. It has great presence on the road and a great driving position. It goes fast enough and very comfortable. A few gripes, there is almost no storage space, the glove box is smaller than my MX5 and doesnt even lock. The only other storage of any size is the door pockets. The other is the dials seem very dark, even in the night.

Anyway, thanks for the forum.

The light on the dials is adjustable, may be the previous owner had turned them down (or one of the bulbs has blown). There is a dial on the dashboard that adjusts this low down on the right hand side. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black
