Hi carlfraz , chose the FL2 as have been driving Landrovers for 7 years now it was my dads fault that i got into Landrovers he has always driven them and one day needed the use of a good tow vehicle so borrowed his disco and it all started from there,had a 200tdi k reg disco to start with it had 80000 miles on the clock and i put another 20000 on it then went to a 2002 auto TD5 that was a great vehicle took that all the way to salou in spain last year , i had an invite to our local dealer when the FL2 was launched and decided then that i was going to have one so waited untill now to get one as i know there can be some teething problems with new vehicles....I never even look at any other makes of cars i'm a Landie Lady through and through i love my FL2 and i am always disapointed when i get to my destination as i have to get out of it ,they really are great cars , i went to rockingham castle for my Landrover experience half day off roading and that was a blast i was quite nervous but the instructor was a great guy and i went round the off road track follwing a RR Sport and a Disco 3 i have some photos of my LR experience so will pop them on my gallery,thanks to all of you for making me feel so welcome

Hello Everyone...............

Have been reading the forums for several months now and finally took the plunge yesterday.

Tambora Flame i6 SE. Got a really good deal as they are phasing out the SE over here.

Drives fantastic. Have problems with sunroof however. Doesn't auto open or close. Have to keep button pressed. Ayone have experience of this?

Hi. Just over a week ago I placed my order for a new FREE 2 HSE with a few extras including auto gearbox, removable tow bar with full electrics, black side tubes and door protecting bits for when the wife takes it to Tesco .

I wanted it for my birthday which is early January but to get the colour and leather etc that I wanted the dealeship could not get one in until 21 Jan .

As the new 08 plate comes out in March 1st I have decided to wait till then as I did get a verygood deal.

One question I would like answered is, when is the first service due. is it after 15,000 miles or is there a service due before then

not sure on the Auto version, but the manual is every 15000miles Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

According to my dealer, service is 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. ______________________

Thanks for that.
I was not sure if it had to go back after a few thousand miles to have bits and pieces tightened or adjusted as in the olden days

UKdave is right, but also the info screen in the dash will show you when you are getting close to a service and LR recommends having it carried out within 1000 miles IIRC. So it's due when the indicator tells you, or 12 months or at 15000 miles, whichever comes first. In my last RRSport the service required symbol appeared about 10 days before it's second birthday this year and that was at about 18000 miles. It all depends on how you drive the car How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Whats the Hario pack about in your gallery

They were some give-aways that LR were giving away at the launch of F2 and at the MPH06 show, I had six of them but resorted to eating the other 5 packs when the Maunards ran out on the 500 mile drive home from the show! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

FL2 compared to DIII?

FL2: more nervous, gearbox (auto) more reactive , look, less MPG , radio sound, and better road holding capabilitites. The TD4 sound is not too bad .

DIII: more and more space, silence, TDV6 sound (marvelous) but too heavy

the FL2 is really polyvalent and it's a bvery beautiful car Freelander 2 TD4 SE AUTO

Hi everybody,

Had the FL2 now for 2 weeks I am thoroughly enjoying this new driving position, last car Jag2.7D.

Engine a little noisier than the v6 I was used too, but the comfort from these seats is fantastic. I am further impressed with the array of toys on hand.

Truely a pleasure to drive

Thanks to all the contributers, the spirit and info is both useful and interesting, already changed my side repeaters!

All the best Steve.  Remenber, Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, love truely, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.
