I ask my dealer yesturday if it was safe to use the sunroof in the meantime as i open mine whenever its sunny

He said he hadn't been told that it wasn't to be opened

Think I'll play it safe and not use it Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Well I'll keep using mine and let you know what carnage I cause

Maybe mine was already reworked before I picked it up last week.

Will pop into the dealer at some point and ask.

Mine is jul 07 had a service recall last week for sunroof I called them and they said not to bring it in as they done one on fri and they broke the sunroof and were waiting to hear from land rover technical so they had someones fl2 in the workshop with a broken sunroof and could not give it back as it was not secure just waiting to hear from them

I got the Norwegian sunroof fix recall today Just hope I don't have all the problems that some of you guys in the UK have had when it goes in for its fix at the dealers

The only explanation on the recall note, was that quote " ...there has been found a limited number of vehicles that can have a fault with the sunroof opening mechanism on Freelander 2, dependent on the chassis number." unquote. So if this is the same problem that has already been discussed here earlier, they are not giving away very much info to the owners who don't ask I will however want a full explanation and will of course post you the results later if necessary

Booked mine in for the sunroof recall next Monday. I haven't had a letter from LR yet but the garage says it needs to be done, as well as a whole load of software updates.

I pick my new HSE up next Wed (12th). Do you think that Landrover will still be sending new cars out with this fault or will they have had the blindingly obvious sense to have sorted this out pre delivery. It seems like a depressing thought that something not even delivered will have to go back in soon after I get hold of it.
The only recall notice I've found online is one for Oz which says it applies to all 07 and 08 models

Done a quick search on the internet but can't find any official notice for the recall  ______________________

As this isn't a safety related issue (ie nobody has been killed, no exploding cars etc that sort of thing) then the Dept for Transport won't issue a UK recall - what it appears to be is a manufacturers in "service recall" that if you don't take the car in for a service then the remedial action won't get done - it is one of those things that you have to be in the know about to get it done out-with a normal service. It's also one of those things that those who buy 2-3yr old cars need to whach out for with cars that have not been serviced by a Land Rover dealer.

Similar things have been the gas tailgate struts on both the RRS and D3 and the tow hitches on certain disco3's, some early RRsports not having the fuel burning heater fitted (my last one was subject to that one) How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Well I have got mine booked in for this Friday However when booking the appointment I enquired about how severe this problem was, but at the same time not letting on I had heard about it on this forum I was answered that "this was just an improvement campaign that Land Rover was running at the moment " OK me says "what about the sunroofs parting company with their owners on the German autobahn" to which I received a snigger and a laugh and "no, no, its just two clips that need fitting to make sure the sunroof closes correctly. It will only take between 1 and 1.5 hours to fix".

So according to my dealer/service station, it is not a serious error and it will only take a short time to fix. I am not too sure if this was just a non-informative reply or a real cover up? Anyway I will know the day after tomorrow I guess, and hope I don't experience the problems that some of you guys have had.  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Hello all

Two weeks ago I had my sunroof water channels repaired - new tubes and routing after it leaked above the driver's A pillar. The local dealer also fitted extra 2 clips to the sunroof as LRA told them it was essential. All seems to work OK. Regards Ub2
My first Landie; SE TD4 auto Sunroof, Narvik Black with Alpacca interior, towbar & rear spoiler.

The first indication I got of a problem was a wet arm as water dripped from the A pillar.

Dealer had it in the next day for an hour to "fit clips, and refit a drain tube".

It hasn't rained since - so I have no idea if it's fixed.

The dealer experience so far is poor, so I await the next shower . .

There has been a sunroof recall in Australia.

I have been driving in heavy rain storms with no problems.

Got the phone call from the dealer to bring in for the extra clips and drain tubes,

Took about 2hrs to install.

Nice to know been looked after by Land Rover.
