Hi, May be quite a bit less. Clutch, bearing and DMF replaced recently for £818. Quote from same INDY for timing belt, tensioner and water pump £380. Bell engineering in Worcester do an exchange diff (including larger bearing) fitted by appointment for £680. Even more reason to keep her. I plan to keep mine for at least another 50,000. Can't think of anything I would change to just now. Cheers, JGH99 Freelander 2 GS Stornoway Grey Jan 2007 Bought 71,000 miles. Currently 149,300 miles. |

Hi, hope the FL2 stays reliable. I had a MY2000 petrol FL1. Company car and managed to do 40,000 miles up and down the M4 in six months....and it didn't grenade. Really liked it but would have preferred a diesel. Have you had any problems with the viscous coupling drying out? Cheers, JGH99 Freelander 2 GS Stornoway Grey Jan 2007 Bought 71,000 miles. Currently 149,300 miles. |

Hi Olegit, this must be about as old an FR2 as you can get, and a petrol as well.

I posted on here, thinking there may be other freel2 users who have prepro / press-launch cars.

There is a bloke living not far from me who has an R reg Mercedes estate. It lives outside and he does the occasional job on it like brake pads, oil changes etc. I was talking to him the other day and he said it had just got through it's MOT at 180k with no advisories and he has never had any big jobs done on it. His previous Merc Estate had done over 240k when he sold it as it was starting to rust a bit but mechanically it was fine and a local builder used it for a couple of years until he ran it into a tree.

I am thinking the same. After 8 years and 86,000 miles she still runs like a dream, is very comfortable and tows effortlessly. For what it would cost a month to replace, you can do a lot of repairs and at present the Freelander does everything I need from a car, very well, so see little point in changing. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges |

My 14 plate SE Tech was built around the end of Aug 14, so there was only a few more months production left. Gav. |

The Freelander 2 was always a good car, despite some niggles, but the last ones were certainly nicest ...
