I've owned 2 Freelander 2's, a 160 bhp 07 model and a 150 bhp 11 model. Have had no problems with the Haldex on mine. Early models had a Haldex Version 3, later models have Haldex Version 4. I think most problems on here relate to Haldex 3 units. According to LR Assistance the Freelander 2 is the most reliable LR/RR model.

I now have a 2011 HSE SDI, which as you may know is the 190ps automatic. I had a 2011 manual 150ps for three days and simply could not stand it. To my absolute amazement Land Rover Kings Lynn allowed me to return the car with the offer to have all of my money back. I did that and bought the HSE, as I should have done in the first place but... I love the car.

Thanks for the advice & as Rockingham castle isn't that far from my daughter's house it sounds very worthwhile. |

As a recent convert to LR, ive got a Freel 2 GS Auto and have changed the engine (only because the original owner never checked or serviced the car ever in 34K miles) so Ive read up on specs and have first hand experience now of FL mechanics.

davep1: I forgot to mention that your local friendly Land Rover dealer might just give you a free ticket for the experience if he feels that you might buy a Land Rover from him, new or used. These days out are designed to persuade potential, but perhaps hesitant, buyers to buy a Land Rover.

I love my TD4 auto GS and would recommend it. It does everything I want and is very smooth. Will never have another manual. Also very capable at handling IKEA flatpacks. 15 months old. just developed first fault. Tailgate release switch faulty. Being replaced under warranty next week. Anyone else had this fault?
