New to me Freelander 2

Hi all just picked Freelander 2 up today it's a 2011 TD4 GS manual in white and love it so far, I have a 05 Discovery 3 to tow our caravan but thought we would give a Freelander 2 a go, the Disco will be up for sale if the Freelander performs ok towing, just one thing what about spare wheel it has not got one! what do all you do?

You will love it.

As for spare wheel I made sure of specifying one as it was a factory order a few years ago but you need to take your chance on flebay or similar. Lots of full sets of wheels come up but you will still need a jack etc. I would avoid the gunk in the tyre option as was the standard spec. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

I found a full size spare on ebay. Cost around £100 delivered. And yes, it does fit in the well with all the other stuff. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Well that did not last long! bought a 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS manual in July to give them a try, cant believe how well it pulls the caravan, coming from a Disco3 got to say I like the Freelander better tows as good if not better than the Disco just don't like having to slip the clutch to move off on a hill would not like to try a steep hill with a loaded caravan on the back! mmm what do I do? easy bought a 2012 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE auto, that should solve that problem, pick it up on Tuesday 2 sleeps to go Very Happy Spent today taking all the stuff of ie towbar and electrics, mud flaps, mats etc that I put on when I first got this one.
