For the Freelander (06-) this is what they say breaks down:

Air Conditioning 0.00%
Axle & Suspension 8.33% (includes Four Wheel Drive System Front differential, inter-axle differential and lock, rear differential and lock, bearings and shafts)
Braking System 16.67%
Cooling & heating system 0.00%
Electrical 33.33%
Engine 0.00%
Fuel System 16.67%
Transmission 0.00%

(Here we have listed some of the parts that go to make up the figures we have produced and the frequency that these parts might fail - This list is not a complete list of what is covered under a Warranty Direct policy but an indication of frequency of failures)

I understand cars will be cheaper in Scotland after 2014, we'll be left with rip-off-England-Wales-Cornwall and NI

I'm pretty close to being Mr Delmonty for the FL2, test drive needed and that perfect, Lexus like, dealer

..

So where are my aircon stats?
No CAN communication to BCM or EMS - 3 days for dealer to fix
Aircon failed again a few months later - connector not latched properly
Noisy air conn compressor, would have failed eventually - new compressor fitted 500 quid.

Went to look at a couple of FL2s in Reading with Mrs Iamfree2, sat in the new one and just browsed the used cars outside the showroom, was there about 20mins, used the loo and left without saying anything to anyone except hello to the receptionist and can I use your toilet.

Thought we would pop into the Lexus dealer as it's close by, said hello to the receptionist and asked for the used car list and within 2 mins was welcomed by a very nice man who listened to what we wanted, reassured us that we could get a good used Rx400h for the budget and mileage we were thinking about, sat us in one of the used cars outside the showroom answered all our questions (admittedly got one wrong), advised against getting the Lexus towbar as it was too expensive and then took our details and would ask a salesman to contact us about the cars that they have coming as trade-ins etc.

Then I made the mistake, I asked Mrs Iamfree2 which of the two cars she would prefer and immediately, without hesitation said the Lexus

So it's either a luxury soft-roader or a less luxurious true off-roader, I've found a few flies in the Lexus ointment, like auxiliary battery issues, £1000+ cambelt service and 80kg noseweight limit, poor alloy wheels and low 30s real user mpg.
However, I've visited 2 LR dealers now and 1 Lexus dealer and the Lexus dealer wiped the floor with both of them

So the two cars are neck and neck, for me the FL2 is in front but the Lexus is ahead with Mrs Iamfree2, so I need help please in getting the FL2 back on top

Another thumbs up for Roger Young.....Just got my first FL2 from there and whilst my interaction since it arrived has been nil.... as it works just fine...the time before I bought it they were excellent even inviting me to an off road day when the Honiton boys came down to the dealership for the day.

As for the XC60 forget it in anything other than dry conditions....possibly the most bl***y annoying car I have ever owned. The final straw was out with the dog and got stck in 3inches of mud...I kid you not. My step son is a police officer and the x5 is usless as well...the only vehicle they will take out in snow is the disco 4. 2012 GS
Indus Silver

You coud always try Hadley Green LR, the sales manager there gave me a great deal on my last purchase and hopefully on my next

Obviously you could try Lookers Pak Royal, sponsors or Duckworths wh offer free P&P to forum members, not sure if that includes post complete cars though  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I can confirm the xc60 is useless on snow too, brother got stuck in 3inch of fat carpark because some one had made a mound parking in front of him, and it could get over it, swapping tyres to normal not low resistance tyres help lots Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

My experience with them was first class

I have no connection etc.
