Looks great I bet, All I can say is I'm on my third FL2 and have been so pleased with all of them. 30,000 is a low mileage for an 07 and with full history. I'd say go for it. The reliability issues were more associated with the FL1. |

Hi JT, thanks for your reply, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'm quite excited about getting the car I must say and it did seem to be a bit of a bargain taking into consideration mileage etc.

As is common with virtually all Forums, you only get to hear about the problems; try viewing the Forums for any other manufacturer and it will be exactly the same.

Apart from a minor 'niggly' problem, mine has been fault free for the 16,000 miles I have done. It is no better nor worse than any other car for reliability issues and some members have clocked many thousands of miles with no problems whatsoever, but we hear of all things that go wrong and admittedly these things can be expensive when that happens.

check the bdy kit is firmly in place before you collect, they are a bit prone to falling of due to been glued on, depends really on who stuck it on and how they did it. At work

I have had a 57 plate XS for about 14 months that had 28k on the clock when I bought it. I have been delighted with the car. Check for steering pump whine and obviously that everything works and no warning lights. I bought from a non-LR dealer who threw in a warranty to clinch the sale. Every time I drive it, it puts a smile on my face. As already said, these forums tend to attract issues so it is easy to be scared s less by what are normal failures.

I think it is worth pointing out that 'this forum' also discusses a lot of issues which are 'far removed' from being problems or complaints

So was mine until everyone started posting about bearings. Now mine has been repaired I just drive along with my fingers in my ears singing la la la la I am not listening to the bearings. |

I bought my 2007 TD4 XS about 18 month ago with 67,000 on the clock and the only problem I have had to date is a HDC warning coming up which I believe is the battery needs renewing ( I do a lot of short stopping and starting journeys so I believe it's probabily something to do with that as my Dads has a Disco and his is exactly the same ) and the other "problem" is the "T" came off the TD4 when washing it so needed sticking back on. Part from that its all good.

Well, today was the day I picked up my FL2 and I have to say I love it. So far, since 3pm, Ive managed to clock up 100 miles and the garage was only 35 miles away!
