Yes you're right ... knowing that the dealer has already ordered the diff from Uk and is already delivered to Casablanca.

I know its tempting fate but my FL2 has done just over 50,000 and has had no such issues. It did suffer the fuel sender units problem, sorted under warranty, and the volumetric alarm fault, sorted by self after reading of solution on here. I do agree though that something like a rear diff failing as commonly as they clearly do and at such low mileages in many cases is totally unacceptable and LR ought to always replace at their cost if car has done less than say 100K. Perhaps then recouping the cost from their supplier if the fault lies there! It is a major component that should only ever fail very rarely indeed! |

55k (12 plate) and not a single thing gone wrong so far, touch wood. Only had a set of tyres, rear pads and wiper blades changed in the 14 months I've had it and from the receipts I got with it nothing else was changed beyond normal service items. Its done 30k in the last year with a 130 mile daily commute round trip with motorway, A and B road mixed use daily, driving in 12" of snow in Scotland and the Peaks, plenty of moderate off road muddy fields, pulled other cars out of ditches and not driven particularly lightly. I fully expect it to explode at some point, because its a Land Rover and this seems par for the course. |

MY 2013 43k miles two standard services only and apart from that nothing at all has gone wrong apart from replacing blown headlamp bulbs If anyone sees a Santorini black 62 reg Freelander sitting by the side of the M4 in a cloud of smoke and a pool of oil during the next week...............that will be me!!

I feel sure that a number of people are on this forum simply because we have problems with our FLs. Maybe we should start a forum for people who haven't suffered any problems. Not sure how many takers there would be

Our most reliable FL2 was the earlier 08 version that went to 99k with no issues. Similarly my brother in law has an 09 version with no problems and 90k miles. Subsequent ones have all had big issues. So what does this tell us about LR continuous development policies ? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Most of these are quite low mileages. 40/50/60k is nothing & could be a covered in one year alone. Are there any cars here with proper high (100k+) mileages which have needed no more than routine service & the usual replacement parts (brakes/tyres etc).

I bought another having had the diff clutch and flywheel go on my last 2010 at 50000 miles, that was a company car, but still fixed under warranty so cost nothing, I now have my own 2014 and so far so good, but its only done 10000 so far, but what the heck, if it goes wrong and I have to pay its only a couple of grand and its ok again for a few more thousand, that was my thinking. |

My diff started to whine last year on my 2007 Freelander but that was at 168,000 miles. Hasn't got any worse and now with almost 179,00 on clock but always at the back of my mind that one day it will give up the ghost.
