United Kingdom 2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e XS Manual Lago Grey
To all you steering wheel attendants ;-)

Now don't give me any 'stick' for this post.......Oh yeah you don't have one do you;-)

Mine went in today for a few minor adjustments and checks and was given a nearly new 62 plate courtesy.....a SD automatic

Noticed the ride much harsher prob due to the 19" low profiles, power up on my TD4 but not by much, I found the auto box hung on to each gear much longer than the manual 'change up' green arrow, no wonder you lot cant get decent MPG!

Overall not as much a 'drivers car' as my manual and was happy to hand it back!


ok ready to grab tin hat!!! Kola is the big solid black German Shepherd, Dobbie is.......a breed you've never heard of......yet;)

The gearbox adjusts to your driving style, you boot it it will change later, use the torque it changes sooner. Thumbs Up

And of course you can drive it manually, just clutchless.

United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Fuji White

I've got a td4 manual but the demonstrator I had before I bought it was a 190 auto, the power difference was very noticeable and the gearbox was far better than my manual
