Hi, we moved to somewhere pretty remote last year and we’re having our 1st winter in the new house, our vehicles aren’t exactly icey/snowy hill friendly so decided it would be good to have a 4x4 of some sort to deal with harsh weather and also to help out with garden waste etc

Looked at FL1, Tuscon, and a couple of very rough FL2s, this just made us realise an FL2 was what we wanted. the week after Christmas this one popped up for sale in a dealers not far away and a deal was done

Good work M4rkM, whats next?

Thanks!
There are a few small bubbles at the bottom of the drivers side wing so on the look out for another, it’s pretty clean otherwise for having 154k on it!
I’d really like to fit a facelift front bumper and some side steps as the Mrs struggles to get in and out of it lol

what you need are these ......

Deployable side steps.

Haha maybe a bit over the top for a cheap winter hack but would be epic lol




More tidying
Silly bits to brighten up the interior and a gear knob in better shape than the original




Boot net and fire extinguisher, not that I don’t have faith in Land Rover




A stone got flicked up and lodged between the near side front brake caliper and disc, ruining the disc, so fitted new brakes all round, then a very cheap set of Disco sport wheels with 6mm Pirelli Scorpion Zeros popped up and thought they’d freshen up the old girl

In similar position to you, also moved to a more rural location in NI, had our share of snow already this winter. The Freelander 2 coped admirably
Yours seems to be sitting very high, has it had a lift kit fitted? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.
2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

Hi, no lift kit that I can see, it did have new dampers a couple of months before I bought it though, not sure if they’re genuine or aftermarket

Had a go at fitting a tomtom start 62 we had into the cubby area, fitted a dual USB socket behind the glove box, leaves another USB for a dash cam

Just to say that the rear windscreen wiper is parked in the wrong place. The wavy lines on the heated screen gives it away. It would be worth checking that the rear wiper motor isn’t getting hot as there have been some fires caused by the motor normally due to seized wiper shafts. Other than that, very nice!
