Hello from first time Land Rover Freelander 2 owner. Not my first experience though as I drove countless military examples in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The FL2 is somewhat more comfortable .
Only had it a couple of weeks, purchased from a long established village car dealer it’s been back for a few small jobs which have been done under warranty - air conditioning pump, rear door locks, split CV boot. Vehicle came with a puncture repair kit and no spare wheel! Being of a certain age and planning trips to the more remote parts of the UK I have acquired a new LR Jack from 4x4 Land Rover specialist Famous Four at Louth and a wheel wrench on FB market place. I also found a matching alloy wheel and tyre from a second hand wheel trader up near Sheffield who also offered good advice on where to find a spare wheel mounting bolt from. Famous Four also supplied me with a set of side steps which are being fitted next week.
The command driving position is very good. I have moved from a 2005 Mercedes Benz E280CDI, which was no slouch on the road, and the SD4 is not too far of the mark showing it’s tail with pressure on the accelerator - though not as quiet it can make progress and is quite relaxed on a duel carriageway. So far only 969 miles done but using the Road Trip phone app I am averaging 34.72 MPG which equates to 519 miles range in the tank. So far I’m impressed.

Hi, joined based in France near Angouleme 😀

Hi, new to the world of the Freelander 2, having spent 5 years owning a VW T5 camper the drive and comfort level is great. FL2 part prices don't look as bad as T5 part prices, fingers 🤞crossed I won't need many 😂.
I'm looking to carry out the 10y service items, any recommendations for an independent in the North West (Burnley)?

Hi I have been looking for a place for info on my car,
just got a low miles, 39k, late 2012 FL2 going through it bit by bit.
Done cambelt & engine service, now looking at the diffs etc.

Have a question to ask. Can I post it here?

I do not get a Bluetooth option on the radio face. We checked all the fuses and the bluetooth set is in the back and have a red light... indicating there is power. It is also slight warm to the touch. See photo. So although everthing and all articles indicate I should have bluetooth my phone does not pick up the Land Rover on the scan. Please help.

Just joined group and like to Hi to all, just purchased Freelander 2 2.2

My name is Dave and I am just posting a question for the technical guys as I am scratching my head.

Hi All,

Long time Landy owner here. Now bought a Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in black and is a 61 plate.

Previously owned 2 discovery 2’s and also had a 1971 series IIA for a while.

Looking forward to joining you all.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi, thanks for the letting me be a member of this group. I have owned Land rover series 1&2 and a three RR classics. Have owned a FL1 for the last seven years and recently upgraded to a 2009 FL2 TD4 auto HSE which I'm loving. This is my first auto Land Rover that I have owned. Looking forward to interaction with members of this site and learn more about the FL2.

Hi all. I have just bought my first Land rover and have plumped for a 2007 Freelander 2 HSE. It is a left hand drive car that has spent the last 8 years in Germany. It has only 67,000 miles on her and yea she has a couple of dinks

that I will be sorting out over the next few months. I look forward to speaking to you more experienced owners soon for advice on repairs and servicing and possible upgrades

@Steve
Welcome
Any particular reason you went for a LH drive ? Jules

I went for a lefty as I will be using her to travel in Europe. I do a lot of work in Poland so seems like an ideal car.
