Hello all. I finally took the plunge and bought a new Freelander 2 XS SD4 auto, picked it up last Friday.
I have a couple of questions/comments.
I have the full leather upgrade electric seats however after looking in the owners book it shows 2 seat types. First is the manual adjustment then electric. With the electric the only other option I can see is for the memory seat. I do not have the memory option however the book shows the std electric seats should have an up and down adjustment for the front edge of the seat. Mine does not appear to have this, is this correct or are there more than two types of electric seat option?
Is ther a setting for the clock or sat nav to automatically come on every time you start the car instead of having to switch on every time?
Apart from that really loving it.

Hello

Thanks taztastic, looks like the got rid of that function then. I also have the up rated alpine radio, should this have DAB of are there other radio options for this?
Done 350 miles so far and and av 29mpg and this is really going easy.

DAB is an option, don't worry your not missing anything, it is still not good enough IMHO for cars yet.

5 weeks in and 3300 miles average 35, mines auto, don't worry about it, the Sat Nav should be automatic, dont have that so not sure how it works.

Ay up RussH,
Glad you are enjoying your new toy. MPG seems about right for an auto, it might increase a bit as you put the miles on. It does weigh almost two tons!
Official mpg figures are almost impossible to achieve. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Hi all, am new to this site and work in GHana, west Africa. i own a freelander 2 HSE 2009 model which has done around 16,000 miles in the uk.

Great site will be reading lots on here I expect!

Hi!
Just bought a manual 2010 TD4e HSE from Matford Landrover, Exeter. It was the only nearly new manual gearbox one listed in the entire Land Rover approved listings for the UK that came with roof rails. Absolutely delighted with it tho have yet to work out which blue it is (I'd call it a Royal Blue)

Downsizing from a VW California Campervan is taking a bit of getting used to but getting this is a pleasant consolation so far & at least I can now just roll out of the seat rather than dropping down a foot or so. Now fully shod on new Pirelli Scorpions it's a delight to drive!

G'day. I'm located in Perth, Western Australia and have just bought a new Freelander 2 TD4 manual.

This replaces a 2002 Discovery 2 V8 auto which I bought new to tow a boat and to use for touring. I thought I'd never get rid of it, however reliability problems and major repair expenses have prompted the change. Since I'm now not planning major off roading, but still want to tour and pull the boat, I decided to downsize to a SUV (AWD??). I considered other manufactureres, but came back to the Freelander TD4 for its weight, torque and reported off road capability.

Or maybe, being a Pom, I'm just genetically disposed to Landrovers. I hope it proves more reliable than the disco.

Hi,

Not an owner yet but expect to be soon.

I will never take the car off road but will look after it very well!

My experience with the Rover I drive now is that a great forum is essential and this seems the best one I could find.

So hi everyone!

A n d r e w Looking to buy a Freelander 2 with a decent spec and not too many miles at a good price. Send me a message if you have one.

Currently drive a high spec Rover 75 which is gorgeous but not big enough.

Hi All,

Looking for some LR2 info - service manual actually, but no luck - I was directed to this site. Browsing through the offroad category - where my interest lies - I felt that I may be able to contribute by way of some some of my "LR2 robusting experiments".

I will therefore head to this section straight from here, and provide some links to a local 4x4 site.

Hopefully this may be of use.

Regards

Johnie
