I'm sorry to say this Tim ole chap, but, you are right. Jeeps have no second hand value here and one of my friends bought one three years ago, he's getting rid of it, not been impressed with it during that time and has just found out the trade value....mind you he is now looking at the V8 diesel RR so cannot compare.

A giraffe might struggle but otherwise excellent, following LR's decision to put height adjustment on the driver seat! I'm six foot and if your extra inch is in your spine you'll be fine |

Thanks for the warm welcome Martin on a cold,wet Sydney winters day.Am thinking of a possible purchase of a LR2 later this yr or early next,a white HSE Td4 auto with some extras perhaps.Currently own a 98 Forester Ltd,liked the one piece tailgate without tyre and reviews,so bought new for many trouble free yrs.

Hello there. Found your site some days ago. Having ordered my first Land Rover i.e. F-2 ever, I got a bit of cold chill seeing all the troubles you guys have had. Thought of cancelling the order but decided to check it out a bit further. I know this vehicle is already selling like...............(please fill in!) so I know that at least in Iceland some 30+ are already on the roads and all but the very first 2-4 which were used for promoting the foreign press are in exellent trouble free condition. (these 2-4 were river swimming, glacier climbing, mud eating experimental creatures!) So mine is on production on Friday the 6th of July and I am thinking of being there by the factory door when the big Range Rover mama brings it into the world!! |

Hello All! Been enjoying the LR2 since April, and have been extremely happy with it. I'm looking forward to the day we see some serious road rally action with the LR2/Freelander 2. |

Hi to all the new guys!!!! DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE MOANS AND GROANS WE HAVE ABOUT THE FL2!! People only moan about things in the Uk they rarely praise things, and if I may speak on behalf of the other owner members, yes you may have a few 'niggles' but overall you will not be disappointed. We have this forum to share our worries and problems, imagine how boring it would be if there was nothing wrong??? I have had a problematic car since day one and OK it is being replaced, but if I was that concerned I would have got my money back and bought something else.....they are great cars and UK's what voted it as one of its 'Cars of the year' di'nt see Jeep BMW or anything else acheiving that!!!! |

While I'm sitting here, waiting and waiting for the new car to come, one of the sites I've been searching is YouTube. I've found some some files with videos of the new FL2 LR2, some quite interesting. I wonder if you guys have some more videos to share. It eases the killing pain of waiting and waiting. |

Hello ... new member here. I'm currently in the market for a 4WD but to be honest it's mostly going to see the terrains of the urban jungle more than anything else. Had my mind set on a RAV4 but would had like to get a Lexus RX350. Then with some research, found the Freelander 2 would seem to be the best compromise. A vehicle with class and capability but not as steeply priced as the likes of the RX350, X5 or Touareg. It's literally due for launch here in Australia this weekend but I had a test drive last weekend and was very impressed with it. My only concern is ... how reliable is this car. I've read so much bad things about its predecessor! And seen many reference to how Land Rover has rebuilt the Freelander 2 (virtually from scratch) to address the many issues with the first Freelander. Is this true? Hopefully, I can found out from sites like this one. In any case, I hope I can place my order for my Freelander 2 within a month or two. |

Hi! The FL2 is a totally different vehicle from the original FL, not a facelift or update, so any design failings of the FL1 should not be relevant. Build quality of LR's has not been the best in the world, but the evidence would suggest that that is hopefully now becoming historical (though the reputation takes years to shift, e.g. Alfa Romeo). Of course, any new car design will have its "teething problems", and likewise there will always be the occassional lemon. Although it's still early days, I haven't seen anything to suggest that there is any endemic design or build issue with the FL2. Sure, these forums are full of people's problems, but you need to put that in context by looking at similar forums for Rav4s, Lexuses (Lexi?), X3s and X5s etc. |
