Ive not done it myself, I've read a few things on the internet about people who have gone over to single mass flywheels and they were not happy with vibrations etc. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

I know a lad who did this on a elderly shogun , we said it was much worse than he expected but didnt care as the whole clutch and flywheel was cheapy to get another couple of years life out of the old shogun- which was never highly refined from day one

Thanks. I assume from the apparent lack of conversion kits for the FL2 it is neither popular or desirable then. So back to finding a reasonably priced DMF!

I know with Ford vehicles when we buy a genuine Ford clutch, take it out of the genuine Ford packaging we get a clutch marked up 'LUK' so I wouldn't hesitate getting an LUK DMF as in the link above. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Thanks for the link Stevie5, certainly cheaper than many I've looked at! I will probably use Elams in Mirfield where I live for the work, they have a good rep with 4x4's and their labour rates are pretty competitive too.

Bit like Rolls Royce suspension parts, come in a RR bag, premium price, and marked Citroen. |

had mine done at local indy @£1100 clutch, pressure plate, dmf, slave cylinder and crankshaft oil seal.plus oil and other items used .not many garages will allow you to buy your own clutch kits ,they make money on them plus vat is added on end bill.also if parts are faulty .I had cambelt done at farnels leeds and one of the pulleys that they fitted was faulty and had to wait for them to source another .took another 2 hrs for them to find and replace another part.its also worth phoning round local dealers and get them to quote you a price they will sometimes price match as they did with my cambelt. did it at trade even though im not trade.oil seals worth doing as its £800 plus to have it done later.seal costs £8 to £20 its engine or gearbox out job |

You have all been a great help, thanks. I was wanting to know the part prices so I wouldn't be ripped off, I do appreciate most garages want their pound of flesh, which is understandable - we all like a profit. Not many garages I know have a registered charity number!! At least I am now well armed. 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE in Sumatra Black. 38,000 miles. Have put on 19" Evoque Style 4 Sparkle Silver wheels with 35 x 55 Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres. Added fog light surrounds, stainless tailgate protectors and high level spoiler. New leather seat covers and chrome door handle covers; Dipped trim with dark wood effect; Re trimmed steering wheel to match seats (black with red stitching); Updated rear light units: Black painted front grill and rear door handle/light unit. |

The problem is, Forums are a place where many only join to complain and find answers, if you believed everything written on here, you would never buy a Land rover. The same goes for other sites. Join an Audi forum and you'll never buy an Audi and so on. DMF, Haldex and Diff issues are few and far between. Rare issues relatively speaking when compared to the quantity of cars built. All manufacturers have issues with DMF from time to time. I ran a Freelander 2 TD4 manual for 6 1/2 years and 65000 miles without issue, and now have had a 2013 SD4 for over three months and it has been faultless so far. Fear not, the FL2 is a good reliable car. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

You might want to have a look at our prices as well. We stock LUK which is the original equipment.
