Indeed there was some talk abt LR offering the leather steering wheel as standardonly on the HSE. When I had the drvetest there was no leater steering wheel but when I bought mine there was . Such a difference. Still think that the leather steering wheelshould haave been offerede on lesser specs tha the HSE FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER |

Matei, looking at your pictures of the interior, I notice that you do not have leather seats. But your steering wheel is leather indeed! I agree - it should be a standard feature.

I do have what I think they call half leather / half fabric which is standard here on the SE LR is selling (more like a XS in the UK) as we don't get the satnav as standard. The leather wheel was ordered on this spec and I guess I paid abt 120 Eoros for the wheel but it does indeed lokk good.

That must be a different spec - my vehicle seems to have real leather all the way....seems that the bottom part is actually suede.

Hi, If you look at the Freelander e-brochure it states that the 'facings and bolsters' are leather. Mine certainly feel like leather with only the vertical side bits feeling like vinyl ( and with the hammer the side bits seem to be getting this might not be a bad thing!!) NM Baltic blue XS - Alpaca Leather - 18" HSE wheels. |

I am aware of what the brochure states ![]() ![]() I have read since on the forum that several UK members have had after-market full leather fitted, cheaper than original LR option and presumably it would be possible to choose any colour ![]() ![]() ![]() Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc. |

When I was looking around the dealers in Kent to buy a car the one at Maidstone said he could fit full leather in any spec FL2 ( inc S ) for £1000! He didn't have any pictures though and I wanted Alpaca with Alpaca lower dash which he couldnt provide. How far is Kent from Norway...might be worth a trip |

If the leather seats are done as an extra by LR they have to order them and I would say that the seats would be sameason SE or HSE but if the seats are done aftermarket than the warranty for the seats would not be on LR but on the company that has done the aftermarket seats and you will have to go to that them if any problems and see if the warranty is also for 3 years and also covers off-road as they might say that they only cover normal conditions and not muddy jeans or extensive sun/frost exposure.

My dealer has a guy who re-upholsters cars with leather on site, This is the guy that the salesman promised would make me a proper boot handle to replace my beloved old belt...no news on that yet but I havn't exactly pushed him for it. At work |
