I don't regret owning a Freelander 2, it's a brilliant car. It just doesn't work for us at the moment, more so now we seem to be visiting various places with ULEZ restrictions.

For me fuel cost was way more than maintenance and repairs, and depreciation.
I was shocked at how much I paid for fuel over 4 years and 30k miles.
27 Pence per mile on fuel, works out to serious ... |

Nice.
I've not gone for a battery, as it doesn't make financial sense. We're now on an EV tariff, which means very cheap electricity between 12 and 7am. The solar takes over in the daytime, so offse ... |

If damage is just bent valves and broken rockers, then the parts spend is minor. However a replacement engine wouldn't be much more than repairing the one you have.
Labour is the expensive part, so h ... |

You could try something key shaped. I can't believe LR would have actually used a high security lock for the passenger airbag disable switch.
