Thats funny, you must wear levi jeans just like me. A good leather polish will remove it. |

The affected area is the side of the drivers seat. It does not come in contact with any pants/ jeans I may be wearing. |

Next time you get out of your vehicle, watch how you slide across the side of the seat. I was surprised how much the side of the seat came in contact with my, er, um, i mean the back of my pants. |

it has lead to a tear in the leather - Is the tear in the leather or the vinyl sides? If it is in the vinyl where most seem to have the problem I reckon that LR have dipped big time with giving us crappy plastic instead of leather 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

My leather (vinyl) issues started 2 weeks after delivery. So it wasn't an issue in my case. I seem to remember getting a leather care pamphlet attached to the seats when the vehicle was delivered (which I promptly removed) Maybe there's something in there or in the manual. I don't think LR can prove one way or another whether leather conditioner was used or not (apart from you conditioning the seats with turpentine or something like that) so I don't know how they'd enforce things. The leather should last the warranty period with or without conditioning.

So best would be to say that no leather condiyioner was used just in case you say you used some and they ask for the make you find out that the conditioner was on some sort of black list or beeing boughtfrom a supermarket will invalidate your warranty?

I suppose you could tell them that you used the official LR leather conditioner (and used it as per instructions on the bottle) and show them your empty bank account as proof that you bought it. I don't even think they'd ask you about your conditioning routine but I suppose that will depend on your dealer and if they want to wiggle out of a costly repair job.

The answer is YES LR Leather cleaning kit pt.no. BAC500490 They mention to clean the leather every 6-months or more frequently if used in dusty or off road conditions I have not read this leather leaflet until you asked, maybe cos the writing is so small I had to use magnifying specs to read it 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
