Welcome to the forum jenks1950 and frawdder. Smile

jenks1950, I'm sure you will enjoy your new FL2 as they are great cars and many people on this forum speak very highly of them. It would be great to see a few photos of your new FL2. Enjoy!

frawdder, Hopefully you will find the spec you are looking for. What spec and colour are you looking for? If you have any questions, feel free to ask as there are many very useful people on here.

Thanks for the welcome Chris. Looking at MY11 most likely an SD4, any colour would do as long as it has leather. Can't believe some of the prices being asked for MY11 xs, as for 2K more you can get a MY12 HSE, which is out of my budget atm. Sad

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HST Auto Fuji White

Hi all,
Looking shortly to being the owner of a freelander, probably 07/08 HSE.

Anything to watch out for ? Is 100k mileage ok on these engines ?

Budget 10-13k.

Look forward to being on this forum and picking some brains on any issues,.

Cheers

France 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Narvik Black

Hi Nick and welcome.

There are still some 07/08 HSEs out there with low mileage so your budget should get one of those.

100k is no big deal for the engine provided it has been serviced as per the book. It is the gearbox/transmission/rear diff that you need to check out. The gearbox should change smoothly and there should be no whining noises from the back. On a manual box make sure that the clutch takes up smoothly, the bite is not too near the top of the pedal travel and it does not slip when you floor the pedal in a high gear. Worn dual mass flywheels can give the impression of clutch slip and vibrate. John

United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Auto Firenze Red

Just thought I would say hi.

Picking up my 2011 SD4 Sport LE on Tuesday. Coming from a world of BMW's so its a massive change but after driving it I was sold. Love the high up driving position and just the entire feel of the car...

But the first mod has to be to remove the factory fitted roof bars. Makes the car way too high.

Welcome Ralph.

It's great to hear that you are enjoying your Freelander. I like sportier cars too, but I find that the FL2 is powerful but comfortable. I love mine, it's the best car I have ever owned.

Hopefully you will find this forum amusing and helpful and if you have any questions, there are many members on here that are willing to help.
