Got my Freelander Metropolis going into the dealer in a couple of weeks for a couple of adjustments. Dropping it off on a Saturday morning and they are keeping it for a few days. They are lending me a DS for that time. We plan to be going away for that weekend so can experience the car and see what it is like. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

Just needs some decent off road wheels and tyres  Black FL2

Enjoy it, it wasn't for me, missed the proper LR feel. Nice looking car just not for me.

I've got an Evoque at the moment, not enjoying it, too low, the Disco is in to get a suspension bush fixed. It was supposed to be in for a week but it was fixed within 24hrs just can't pick it up until tomorrow due to work.

Probably explains why I've had so many LRs, still trying to find what I've was looking for, now I've found it.

Anyway enjoy it  21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

for a D4 to need suspension bushes replaced after a month or 2 is disgraceful.

the DS was always bound to have teething problems but if that list is as you say then LR really need to sort their quality control out.
When I test drove the DS earlier this year, as did my brother and my son, all three of us agreed the DS is just not a good car. I particularly did not like the car like driving position, and the boot floor was disgustingly weak and flimsy and rattled over every bump.

Seems trivial compared to some of the issues being reported on a certain DS forum! Gearbox failures, deliveries suspended whilst a problem with the wiring loom is sorted, mulitple reports of software issues, B-pillar issues, rattles and squeaks, the list goes on. There's a thread on rejecting cars that's currently running to 8 pages! Looks like the FL's crown as most reliable LR ever is safe, for the moment at least.

Delays, yes. There's one ex-member of this very forum whose DS was built in August for early September delivery but who still hasn't got it more than two months later. LR won't release it until issues with the wiring and I think EGR have been sorted, and he still doesn't know when that will be. But at least he's managed to get hold of a DS loan car.

Even if I liked the car I wouldn't buy one at the moment.

I was playing around with the fold out seats at the dealers the other day, has anyone actually sat on them for any distance?
I realise they're mainly for kids but not a lot of room....
