I picked this up recently after my previous Fl2 was written off by a careless driver , its a 2012 SD4 Sport LE . I've not had chance to give it a thorough wash yet due to the weather conditions . Up to now I'm very impressed with it and the autobox really suits the car . As soon as the weather improves it will be getting a proper wash followed by a machine polish ready for the Tan Hill meet .

It's spent all of it's life at Huntly , and been very well looked after too . Some of the other FL2's I've looked at were a bit on the shabby side and considering my previous FL2 was 8 years old they weren't a patch on that , and they were 13/14 plates , as soon as I saw this one I was smitten .

as smart as a carrot, the wheels really match the car. |

Nice looking car
I think it's the other way around, LR re-used the sport alloys on the dynamic. My sport came out of the factory in 2012 with these alloys fitted. |

Maybe not U.K. spec but here in the Netherlands (some) FL2 sports came with these alloys fitted from factory. My car has them, even the spare. |

I think this answers the question of wheels.

I've been very happy with the Grabbers , I replaced the previous Pirelli Scorpion Verde all seasons as the rears were perishing . A bit poor really as they were date stamped 2014 , the fronts still had 8mm left . My wife previously had Grabber At's on her Fl2 which wore amazingly good but were a bit on the noisy side , the Gt's are a match for the Pirelli's imo quiet and surefooted . My prefered tyre of choice the Pirelli Scorpion Atr's arent available in 19" .

Personally preferred the grey turbines that were on my Sport LE but still a nice car. |

My wife's Tiguan is on its second set of Grabber GT. Very good tyre, the first set lasted 40k. I ran Grabbet AT2 and AT on my Disco 2 and was very impressed with them although might try the Pirelli ATR on the Freelander when the Goodyears are done (Im on 17"s) Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948 2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS. 2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone) 1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy) |
