I'm pleased to say that we are now officially one of the site sponsors for freel2.com along with rrsport.co.uk.

As with the other sites run by Martin, there is a wealth of experience and knowledge within the forum, and hopefully we will be able to contribute to the benefit of the forum members.

If there is anything we can help with then please let me know, and feel free to drop in and see us if you are in the London area!

Post number 1, many more to go!

Regards,

James

Hi James

Great that we now have an official sponsor.

Does that mean we can get discounts and accessories or parts if required?

Sorry just thought i'd asked Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Now that we have a site sponsor, does that mean that we have a better chance of Land Rover listening to us? Freelander 2 GS Auto black + privacy glass

PM me with any requirements and I will get a response for you (I'm sure we can do 'a little something' for forum members'.

I know Land Rover Global monitor this site closely as they placed a link for in on the internal web site. Keep discussing the vehicles (good points and bad) and they will take those comments on board.

If we can help from a dealership level then please let me know. We look forward to giving a positive contribution (hopefully ).

James

Nice that we have someone from "The Company" dropping in to say hello.

We seem to be alot more civilised than other car forums I've been on so hopefullly we won't scare him off. (i've seen it happen )

Welcome!!!!

I'll try not to be scared off!

Obviously if anyone has any serious product issues then they need to deal directly with their supplying dealership. If the issue is not resolved to the owners satisfaction then the next step is Land Rover Customer Care. The majority of dealerships will want to rectify issues as quickly as they can as an unhappy customer is never good for business!

I am here to help with advice, and give you the latest new product information as it is released from Land Rover, which I will certainly do my best to do!

Hopefully we can work together!

James

Welcome
I hope you will be able to tell us the latest info on our cars. If and when new software is available for example or if DAB radio has been released (I have heard lots but seen nothing!) - stuff like that is really useful.
good to have you on board.

Happy to give you any information that I get, however it is more often the case that the press receive press releases at the same time as the dealer network, therefore you may read something on-line elsewhere before i get a chance to tell you about it!

Please feel free to prompt me about technical issues etc, however I will need to refer any questions to one of my colleagues in our aftersales department.

DAB Radio was released for ordering a few weeks ago, therefore the first vehicles with it will probably come through late Jan.

I hope this helps?

Can you please find out whether this would be able to be added to my current radio? (Standard FL2 SE) as some sort of module/plug in

I have heard it will not work with the existing radios, but would like a second opinion Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm also really pleased that someone from LR is now contributing to this forum, as well as now knowing that LR global are keeping an eye on us. As most ppl on here are very pleased with their FL2s I hope we can all win out of this arrangement.

A question James ......... is there any prospect of LR selling a metal footrest for auto versions of the FL2, to better protect the carpets from unecessary wear (esp alpaca)? Life is not a dress rehearsal!

Good on yer CHPR James, welcome aboard chap!!

You may regret signing up as you will now be inundated with info requests so we may need to cut you some slack in response times.

Maybe you should get a CCTV avatar aka BIG BROTHER watching us

Good to have you here anyway

A quick update on my query to James about any LR plans for a left footrest to save wear and tear to the driver's footwell carpet:-

Response ...... He's scoured the LR bulletin board and apparently there is nothing that suggests there is a plan for a foot rest. He has also put the suggestion into the 'suggestions' section on the dealers' internal web site.

Thanks James!  Life is not a dress rehearsal!

All questions now have PM's, for fear of flooding the forum with my responses! If you find the PM's helpful then please feel free to post them.

We have a mechanism for feeding suggestions back to Land Rover via our internal web site, thefore I will keep a list of 'forum' suggestions on a spreadsheet and will feed back to LR next time FL2 is the featured vehicle.

Hi James

I have one quick question (I hope), that my dealer hasn't been much help with. Do the manual FL2s have the Gradient Release Control? I know they all have HIll descent, but they seem unable to get a firm response as to whether they have the GRC feature.

Also, one for the suggestions would be a power point in the boot, how much help would that be.

Thanks for you help
