Yeh I bought it at T&C, In Red. The service was pretty good, I ordered it just less than 2 weeks ago, although I have to take it back next week to get the leather seats - not a big deal because it only takes 1 day. I did get a free pen!


222 or triple 2 is the name of the mountain bike I used to race, also its the numbers on my number plate

Thanks for the warm welcome www.222photography.co.uk

Picked up my 2007 Stornoway grey HSE on Friday. Quite a few issues with the handover from the dealer but more on that anon once I've had a chance to discuss with him tomorrow and see what he does to rectify the issues.

BTW. Whilst in the dealership I noticed some advertising list the Freelander 2 as "the UK's favourite SUV" so seems LAND ROVER considers it an SUV.......controversial on my first post

Welcome on the forum and new FL2 ownership
Altough the FL2 has the best off-road characteristics and abilities of her class she is still sold as an SUV. You cannot in earnest compare her to a Defender and expect to have the best road comfort and best off-road possible.
You cannot expect her to be as good off road as a Discover 3 - with the pneumatic suspension and so on but then you will get better mpg but you will find her very capable off-road.
Hope you get the better of the dealers at your meeting  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Typical advertising they will call anything anything aslong as it leads to a few more sales. But as you suggest using the SUV title is probably a bad move in the long term.


Oh yes, a warm welcome to out latest 'grey' owner . Nice colour but a word of advice, never park next to a black FL2, you will only upset yourself  At work

Call her an SUV might actually be a marketing move of LR as most peoples will not get her really off road and saying she is an off roader would imply not so good road comfort and bad mpg and would put most women (no offence ment to the brighter sex) off in buying one.
We have over here a terrible Tuareg spot that shows the Tuareg near a puddle and a guy comes and says "we know it can do it but as 54% will buy the Tuareg for it's looks (wonder ) we preffer not to get it dirty" As the commercial is in english I assume you get it over ther as well. I find the commercial really stupid but VW probably spent lots of money in marketing research to come up with this.
Actually being called a SUV with so many awards is not so bad
There are after all few dedicated off roaders left as people want to be able to use their cars in comfort also on motorways.
Name ten dedicated offroaders still in production - NO LR  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Chicken George,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. I value your right to make the wrong choice of colour

Actually, Grey, Black and Silver were all considered but the local dealership had this one available immediately at an attractive price. I changed two cars on Friday (picked up a new golf also). The golf is silver and the two cars I traded were both silver, and so was the car before that. So I fancied a change

Now this mean living in a democracy

So if you traded all this silver and fancied a change why not solid gold
But then you do not own an oil field
Wish I would own one. Could be small, very small just an output of 10 RRS a day would be nice  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER
