New girl on the block here. Great info- sorry cos I'm probably gonna bore you all stiff with my questions.

Hello all.
I just bought me a 2011 XS SD4 auto - still waiting for the bank paperwork to come through though so it's not yet in my garage
I just hope this one has fewer bugs to sort out than my 1997 Disco which is out for sale.  1997 Disco ES 300TDi - Sold
2011 FL2 SD4 XS, Auto, Lago Grey

hi all,i am a member of d3,but have been away from the green oval for about 4 years,well into caravanning and am doing more touring so the lr2 seems the sensible choice(unless someone out there knows something about them that I don't )I will prob look for an se or hse,pref with a towbar fitted. 2008-2011,manual price around £9-"12k inc my px.as to what too look out for its over to you!!

welcome to the forum everyone,

Rnlisg - if you want to tow with the FL2 you would be better off going for an auto, much more suited to towing/off road and much stronger clutch set up than the manual. (for interest my 2010 HSE Auto 84k went for around £11.5k in the summer)

hi rogb,thanks for the reply,i take note of the comments ref the auto,my d3 was auto and the box was excellent.you do lose a bit on economy but much more relaxed way to drive.any other things that come to mind please let me know.
cheers
sandy

Hello
I have a Freelander 2 TD4 auto hope to learn with you all.
I am sorry for my bad english.

2013 Frelander TD4 S auto

Hi all I have a freelander 2 hse auto absolutely love the car fits everything we need a car to do I was a service manager at a land rover dealer so a little biased towards the brand I have a problem that none of my old friends can help with I have a deep vibration when driving at between 1750-2200 rpm if I put into neutral noise goes so on drivetrain but finding it really hard to pinpoint I remember doing a gearbox oil change on a sport for a similar issue but not the same any ideas anyone? Many thanks Alex

Easy as you are a ex LR service manager. Check for fault codes and if none found drive away home and come back to the forum if it gets any worse  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

No fault codes logged really weird as only at that rev range at any speed thought about rear diff but wouldn't it be constant?

I've done my time on the spammers but never actually worked on the land rovers seen issues with freelancers but not this one thanks for the reply yorky bob

The rear diff would be constant and proportionate to road speed, I've just spent a lot of money replacing one  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto .

Thought as much I'm thinking possible gearbox??

There is a front "transfer" box, these fail.
Again should be proportional to road speed rather than engine revs.

Auto gearbox is fairly long lived - could it be an engine mount failing? would shift under load, and then resonate at specific frequencies. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Seems a reasonable thing to look for up on the ramp next week thanks

OK Zorba I have had my bit of fun last night as an ex Mechanic to include LR (got out the trade 30 years ago) and can also add my father was the Service Director of LR in Leeds for many years so fun over try this first:

Got to admit I am totally lost on the modern electronics so I had better behave myself now and then  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
