Can anyone help I have bought rear shockers from a 2012 freelander to go onto my freelander 2007 but looking at pictures online im not sure they are the same and will fit can anyone help do you know if there the same or not any help really appreciated .

Not sure I would put a second hand shock on any car. That said check the internet as one site says it supplies a shock that fits all FL2 models and another site asks for your vin number for early and later versions.

Example

Rimmer and Paddock Spares FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

There are at least 2 different shocks defined by VIN - definitely changed at start of BH VIN numbers 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)
Gone - 2011 GS Baltic Blue, Retrofit Electric Leather, Side Steps, 19"SC's, Roof Rails, TT Sat Nav Mod, Retrofit Premium Audio, Retro fit 2013 Xenons with DRL & Sig Strip (Clutch at 47k)
Gone - 2007 GS Narvik Black, Privacy Glass, 19" SC's, Side Steps,Roof Rails, Roof Spoiler, Lamp Guards, Retrofit Electric Leather (Clutch at 115k)
Gone - 2007 SE Santorini Black (Clutch at 120k)
BT IID (best money ever spent on a car)
