I've got a timing belt and water pump kit waiting for a couple of hours spare on my friend's ramp
What else should I look at ?

I think it's worth going to a specialist for a proper gear box flush and oil change. We just did ours and gear changes feel smoother. 👍

2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Orkney Grey

Based on location, take it to Mike Park in Dundee (MMP) and leave it with him to give it a once over * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* GONE.2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Rocket ship. 33mpg.
* Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit

Can second MMP recommendation. Good guy and knows his stuff.

Whites Auto Services (an LR indy) just off Dalry Road are also worth checking out if Dundee isn't suitable. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

I wouldn't use flushing oil...it stays in the gearbox and changes the oil properties just warm the gearbox then drain and refill.

Mine came from your part of the world originally and I was quite shocked at the amount of salt on its bottom, when I steam cleaned it I could taste the salt in the spray, bear in mind I live 1km from the sea here and I’m used to seeing corrosion.

If your keeping it give it a good clean, get those sills full of wax and oil and get a good coat of your favourite underbody protection on the vulnerable bits.
