I have noticed with my wife's Peugeot 207 that it's quite simple underneath. The rear wheels are basically two castors to stop the back end dragging. Above all,as a front wheel drive there is so much that can't go wrong because it isn't there and an FL2 spend most of it's time in FWD an yway. Never thought I would say this but I do so little off road work these days that a 2WD FL2 might be a good option. |

I do hope so, I paid more for our 2013 HSE than we did for our house back in 79. We love the FL2 and bought this one as long term keeper ![]() So far, so good apart from the ![]() I really think JLR made a big mistake dropping the FL2 in favour of something much more "Chelsea Tractorish" 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep 2013 SD4 HSE The posh one for towing the caravan 1973 Triumph Stag I bought in 2009 and restored. |

normally the dealer will be interested up to 6 years old, after which they will give you rock bottom price and punt it to the market.

If you can make the figures work for a more recent FL2 with a decent 2 year warranty, I'd do that while there are good examples still to be had. Once they've gone, they've gone |

100K is nothing to be worried about these days on a modern diesel. It will run for more than twice that without much trouble. Clutches and dual mass flywheels seem to be the achillies heel of modern diesels but fix that and youre good for another 80K.

I am currently looking to replace my FL2 when the warranty runs out in a couple of months. However, I am having a real problem though convincing myself what to get. My heart says buy a very late FL2 auto with two years warranty (and I don't believe that all the niggles have been designed out in the later model years) or my head says that for about the same price get a brand new Hyundai Tucson with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty. Or a Skoda Kodiaq, Nissan Xtrail, VW Toureg etc. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
