Dynamic will as you suspect impact on approach and departure angles but should not impact on the overall ground clearance. Dynamic drives just like any other Freelander with the same engine and gearbox combination.

My only worry was the 19" wheels, and loss of performance in snow. Haven't had chance to prove this one way or the other yet, but in every other respect my dynamic is superb and gets admiring looks from my friends and colleagues. Fuji White MY13 SD4 Dynamic

Ex LR cars will tend to have Oxford registration plates on, for some reason. If you have a row of registrations beginning with an "O", it'll be dead give away.

As stated the Dynamic will drive exactly the same as any other SD4 FL2. The only difference will be the approach angle.. I have 19" wheels on the HSE and they dont seem any different to the 18" i had on my previous FL2.

You won't see any loss in traction in on the 19" tyres as they have the same 235 cross section as the 17's and 18's.

Hiya, as heata05 says you do get lots of good comments on the Dynamic looks, even had a bloke come up to me in a pub car park asking if mine was a baby RR last week? You do lose a few goodies compared to a HSE but you get decent kit anyway.

Thanks for taking the trouble to pass on your thoughts. I'll let you know what I decide.

GM - you should perhaps note that some of the comments above regarding wheel size come from owners whose use is purely on tarmac. For driving rutted forest stages and the like I personally would want to stick with smaller wheels and taller sidewalls (which is precisely why I have 17" wheels fitted with 65-profile Grabber ATs). Low profile tyres really aren't what you want for off-road use. |

@ Gazzerman - my first FL2 was a HSE with bodykit, this was before there was such a thing as a Sport LE or Dynamic so there were very few around - I got loads of comments about it, even one of my work colleagues who had a RRS preferred it to their car! Unfortunately when i was placing my order for a replacement in 2011 there wasnt the option to have the bodykit fitted as LR had just done the facelift and the existing bodykit wouldnt fit.

Thanks again for the comments. I drove a Dynamic yesterday and I have to say that I found the ride quite different, both to my own car (2010 Black Special) and to a 2013 XS. It certainly felt much more planted on a good quality A road but also much firmer and I couldn't live with the ride on the mix of potholes and speed bumps that Edinburgh dally roads.
