Well, my other half and I ordered our Freelander2 in January, our salesman has just now contacted us and said that our car has now been built.

What a sense of relief!!! Our beautiful Martinique Blue TD4 SE shall now be going on a long ocean voyage (two months!!) before I can start driving around the Aussie Outback.



Now, all I need to ask is - why is it going to take so long to get here by boat?!?!?

Its going to be a long wait but it will be worth it .................................enjoy! Discovery Sport Hse Lux, Santorini Black, Ivory Leather Interior, Factory Privacy Glass, removable tow bar.

Thanks! After being told "No, you can't have Martinique Blue, you have to have Bali Blue, look at the LR UK website" to being told "OK, you can have Martinique Blue, and it will be the last one that colour"

After hearing that, I have been sternly told not to scratch it or else!

Martinique Blue is the best colour to get. Everyone knows that.  09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

everybody? nope  At work
At home

You just have to look at Frobius's avatar to see that  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Meh.. Martinique Brown is also good.  09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Has anyone had the driving light pods installed? We have ordered them, and looking at the installation instructions, the front half of the car needs to be dismantled! And a hole cut in the dash for the switch I would have thought that LR would have made a provision in the dash, and filled it in with a clip in cover??

I wasn't sure of them either, but since I live in a rural area, normal high beam isn't enough. A number plate mounted nudge bar would look odd, and I haven't found any other type of mounting hardware for additional lights that didn't look peculiar.

When I finally get it (May seems like such a long time away!) I will put up a picture of them.

Has anyone seen a car with them installed?

No, but I've seen "fitting instructions" (Twin lamp pods LR004088) - O'boy - O'boy. I will not try to install it.
A good advice: look at the fitting instruction before you buy. LR Freelander2 2,2 Td4 HSE manuel Stornaway Grey (Metallic) & Ebony Black Leather & Sun/Moon-roof & Bi-Xenon & Roof Rails & Tow bar & Body side rubbing strips & Cold climate pack & Privacy glass & NavTeq .

Sorry, but I have changed to Defender 90 ", and I love my" tractor ".

Oh, don't worry - I am not installing them - I am having all my accessories fitted before I take delivery of the car - was doubly sure after seeing the install instructions The dealer quoted nearly AU$1k supplied and fitted, but I was able to get a really, really good deal on the tow bar supply and installation, so I wasn't going to argue too much.

Same here. Installed on delivery. Just paying for parts, not labour. Part of the deal.
The parts are too costly anyway and they know this. You can get the same price including installation from 3th party fitters, but you won't get the warranty on them.
