I drove my new Freelander 2 HSE out of the showroom on December 17 09 and just to indicate how reliable it has been I have not had reason to return to the dealers (12 miles away) until last Wednesday when it was due for it's first annual service. it cost me £312 including £60 for the oil which I thought was a bit steep they did loan me a Range Rover Sport HSE 3 litre while it was in, very nice but I prefer the FL2. anyone got any comments

Can't understand how the service prices vary so much, they want nearly £400 here Not worth more than £250 IMO.
Mine was collected new 2 weeks before yours & has been in dealer a few times for the same issue & it is still not sorted so not very impressed to be honest. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.
