OK the history. I originally bought an 08 reg with 65k miles and it was going fine, so my son bought a 10 reg one. After a few months (when mine was just coming to 100k miles) I decided to trade my 08 one for a 60 reg LR approved with 2 years warranty. Then my son's started to have problems with his 10 reg so he traded that in for an 11 reg LR approved with 2 yrs warranty. All was well for about 3 months and then the problems with both cars started. It might look worse because we currently have two in the family but I have lost count of the number of times I have been back to the dealers with these cars.

I wouldn't consider owning an FL2 without some sort of extended warranty, I live 37 miles from the dealer so taking it in is a bit of a chore but as I am retired it's no real issue. My car has 65k miles and my son 76k. For my son however, he needs it for work so it's a real problem. He is currently looking at leasing options on Mitsubishi L200 or Toyota Hilux both of which are a lot cheaper and more practical than anything in the LR lineup. I am doing a similar exercise on non LR vehicles. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Cars originally sold by the same dealer and with full LR service history. We have experienced a complete range of faults ranging from gearboxes, diffs, bearings, xfer box, exhaust sensors , washer stalks, 2011 hesitation issues, throttle bodies, boot lock, half shaft .... I could go on. Is this reasonable? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

No it isnt reasonable, but you do appear to have more problems than anyone else on every car. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

after 5 years Landrovers begin to self destruct, it has always been that way and always will be.

I totally disagree. All manufacturers have good and bad cars. If you have a reliable car, it is unlikely to suddenly screw up. This may be the case on older Land Rovers but not the modern cars I went to see the guy who bought my old FL2 nearly 2 1/2 years ago and he has not had one issue with it. She is on nearly 90,000 miles now but all is still well. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

My son bit the bullet this weekend and did a deal on a Mitsubishi L200 Warrier demonstrator 3k miles 6 months old. 5 year warranty, leather seats, sat nav, reversing camera, all the toys inc 3 yr service package all in about £25k. It's got several off road modes and Hi/lo ratio. It will be interesting to get his feedback, he always thought that the FL2 was very good off road and he drives on farms and ordinary roads for work. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
