When I first joined this site i had in my signature
Freelander 2 HSE LUX
And someone pointed out there wasn't a LUX model in 2008 so I removed it even tho it states it on my paper work ?

I'm bringing this up now as someone is driving around with my plates and after doing a few checks on different sites on the interweb my freely keeps coming up as a (freelander HSE LUX)

Did land rover do a LUX model on a MY08 ???? BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

As far as I can recall LR didn't produce an HSE Lux in 2008 but that doesn't necessarily mean yours can't be a Lux as a Dealer could have produced a special edition of their own and called it an HSE Lux.

On my rundown sheet that the lady who originally ordered the freely passed on with all the paper work it states all the extras she paid over the top for and somewhere on there it states freelander 2 HSE LUX
Ill dig it out and have a look and see if I can get a Photo of it ..... BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Go back through TOPiX via your VIN, and look up the build details. Compare them with what was standard spec at the time, then cross-match it against what you have on your car today. Anything on the build spec, right down to a side moulding strip that isn't showing, will be a dealer fit..usually done to try and shift them off a forecourt after a significant period of time.

For further info, look in my gallery at my old 2012 model. It is a LUX in every sense with the exception of the Leather, which wasn't Windsor leather. On TOPiX, looking at the build schedule and options, it seems as though several were dealer fit afterwards, as opposed to Factory fit at point of build.

Log in to TOPiX as normal, key in your VIN. Under 'Vehicle Features', where it says 'Drive: 4 Whl R/H Full Time Drive' is a hyperlink titled 'more...'. Simply click on that, and everything that was done at Factory Level will be listed.

Hope that helps  Foraging near Gaydon....

tis true, the 190 would make it an SD4 which was not out in 2008, should it not be 160? p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior
