When I bought my Freelander2 new in Juli 2012 I really liked the car , now I love it! It has given me excellent service all over Europe. Now there are 345000km on the clock ( that is roughly 214000miles).
Most parts are still the first: engine, gearbox, clutch!!!, rear and front diff and the complete exhaust!!!
What had to be changed? at 280000 the EGR-valve and is cooler , at 335000 two trackrod ends and now at 334000 the two rear wheel bearings.
One more little thing: since I have the base model ( diesel , MT) there was a plastic steering wheel which dissolved at about 250000. So I had a refurbished unit installed with nice leather for 150 Euro.
The engine is still strong since it got its service always on time. The service was entirely done by myself after the guaranty ran out. I made a copy of the last page in the service book, copied that several times and glued it into the back of the book, so the record can be kept further on.
So I wish all of you a similar experience!

Great accolade to the Freelander 2 there Michael
A fine vehicle indeed.

Re the exhaust I always thought why don’t they all fit stainless ones.

Because it would be an on cost at manufacturing and no profit selling replacements........ Regards

Good to hear

Considering that exhausts used to expire within 2 to 3 years, I don’t think we do too badly now

I am sure your correct, as far as I can tell the exhaust on ours is still the original......  Regards
