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

Chicken George,

Hello All

I have been a member for a couple of weeks but this is my first post.

I had an email from the dealer on Friday advising me that my FL2 goes into build on the 10 June and will be with me w/c 23 June. It’s a TD4 XS Auto with sun roof & leather in Santorini Black (the only colour) and I can’t wait!

I’ve had several test drives including a ½ day with LRE and the car is just brilliant. For the last 15 years I have driven Discoverys of one sort or another and was a little concerned that the off road performance of the FL2 would be a let down, however after a few hours with LRE I am convinced that the FL2 is more than capable (or should that be more capable than me?). I think having the auto box helps off road, particularly when you need to crawl it forward, and I am glad that I have spec’ed it despite the reputation for thirst.

Only two weeks to go !!!

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome.

Nice choice of motor and welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately you have chosen the wrong colour and because of that you will soon end up like CG who is now OLD, DECREPIT AND SENILE and all this happened to him ever since he bought a "black" one

As you might have guessed mine is Stornaway Grey.......the only TRUE colour for the FL2  ______________________
