In case your wondering my son is going to drive the Volvo and I'm driving the LR2.

Take care

Do you need a bit more air in the front tyre? Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Good catch

I checked the pressure 30 PSI

The correct pressure is 35 PSI

All good now

Thanks

Once you have been on our outback roads you are more aware of looking after tyres and check them every day in the outback.

Don't you guys have TPMS by law on all cars? But it might have needed a bit lower pressure to trigger an alarm. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

TPMS didn’t lite up at 30 PSI

I think you’re right that it’s a requirement here in the land of the free

My 2008 LR2 also has TPMS

Do you have the 3.2 in your Land Rover?

Almost everyone on freel2 is detonating diesel

Thanks

Paul

PS my wife and I visited Sidney not so long ago and it was very nice

Jealous no just distain that your taste is going and having to share parking space with it. Common sense isn't very common.

Mostly diesel down under but I do see quite a few Petrol i6, haven't seen many Si4. I have the Ford Eco Boost 2.0 Litre engine. It's brilliant with low down torque, you would think it was a diesel. Just a lot more refined than the diesel in my sister's Evoque & none of the diesel carcinogens!

LR in their infinite wisdom dropped the I6 quite early on over here, and we were never offered the Si4 as an option.

The Si4 was and still is offered in the Evoque.

There was a dealer over here (James French) who specialises in LR/RR and he had about 4 RHD UK registered brand new Freelander Si4 for sale last year for about 30k each but they are the only ones ive ever seen or heard of in UK. (there is a thread on her somewhere about them)

Down under the Si4 is only available as an SE. The diesel comes in 3 levels of trim.

Axel,

That is a fair point.........

For me personally I find it ironic that the S80 was the starting point for the Freelander 2.

In a way you could say that the S80 is the father and the Freelander 2 is the son.

And in my case I am a father but I'm driving the Son and my son is driving the father.

My son was driving a 2002 Buick Lesabre so the S80 is an upgrade even if its not up to the LR2 HSE spec.

Thanks for your comments

Paul

RogB,

I really like the 3.2 and I've owned it since 2008 but I only recently learned that the Ford plant in the UK built the engine. This is the case for Land Rover and Volvo.

It is a bit sad that it was built in the UK but not sold in the UK.

Take care

Paul

Lightwater,

In the peoples republic of California we can't get the diesel. I haven't driven the 2.0T but my friend will be glad to hear that, he used to work at Ford and he only owns Ford's. I told him that the 2008 LR2 is a Ford and that he can buy one. He mentioned something about Tata and I said "Never heard of them"

Take care

Paul
