Received mine today - have to say the MY13 is no real move on but there are some nice features.

New to me are full leather and heated seats. They really make a difference, much more comfortable and more like my Merc. The new 'stereo' is very nice with BT Audio streaming, DAB and iPhone control all as standard. The central console is really neat and the overall affect is definately a move up market.

Most noticable thing for me is that the speedo is now really hard to guage but the speed is now shown "digitally" and so that's not a factor.

A few weeks to go and I get my new 2013 GS too
Having to source my own spare so was wondering what make and spec tyres does it come with? I know they are 235-65-17s but can you confirm the make and model of tyre for me?
Found a great place for part worns in Chichester for getting a spare made up - http://www.thetreadshop.co.uk/  * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* GONE.2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Rocket ship. 33mpg.
* Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit
* 1949 80" in family since 1975

Will probably be either:
4x4 Continental Cross Contact
or
Goodyear Wrangler HP
or
whatever good deal LR have negotiated at the time.

Mine has arrived 2 weeks early!
Been to check spec is as ordered and it looks superb. Interior is very plush with leather and armrests
Pick it up Saturday  * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.

Agree about armrests. Just had spoiler and mud flaps fitted to mine which just finishes it off. Wishing I had the privacy glass now!  Disco 4 HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey

Please post pics!!

My HSE has just arrived in the country. Will take another 2 weeks to receive according to my dealer

Saw a white HSE at another dealer this morning. I had two white ones before and now I just dislike the colour. I don't think that white shows off the improvements in the MY2013 version so well. It looks just too bland especially for a top of a range model. Just my opinion. 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Orkney - waiting!
2010 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Auto White - gone
2009 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Auto White - gone

Will take some over weekend for you. * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.

Went to check out my new arrival as it was delivered at the dealer yesterday (they'd told me 20th Dec was the "build date") - Firenze is a lovely colour and nice finish inside! Could not have a full play as still in "Transport mode" but checked out the new lights.
Collecting Jan as 2013 registration with cherished number and towbar-bikerack/cargo barrier transferred (parts taken off current car now) plus mudflaps and PDI.
Looks great and the dealer had ticked grand black lacquer finishers for me, no extra charge (I'd selected black metallic option). Thanks - is this worth a commendation?
Wrangler HP tyres this time (had Contis on the current one) - look forward to seeing if I can feel any differences

Gone... 2008 (09MY) XS Td4 Manual Stornaway Grey

Preview pics of my Orkney Grey FL2 HSE in my gallery

My dealer called me on Thursday saying my car had arrived so naturally went to pop in to look at it. Can't wait to take delivery 1 or 2 Jan!

Items still to be added by the dealer:
Side trolley strips
Towbar
Mudflaps

I really love the colour and the spoiler really finishes it off nicely. The owner of the ipanema sands one parked next to mine ordered his after seeing mine  2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Orkney - waiting!

Got mine booked in on Wednesday for dark chestnut wood veneer effect trim, to replace the piano black, which just doesn't go with almond leather, also a spoiler and mudflaps.

Thanks Bopper, I'm hoping to order a FL2 "soon" was looking at almond interior & thought that I would prefer wood effect trim to piano black.
