Hi Folks,

Just joined. My last vehicle was a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8, lovely motor drank like a fish Laughing , finally expensively failed it's MOT so had to go.

I'm now looking for a Freelander 2 as a friend who worked for JLR said they were probably the best model they ever produced (probably the Ford influence). So I'm now looking for a good one to buy. The only problem I'm having is that all the ones I like seem to go really quickly.


They are a sought after car, here's about 675 advertised at the moment, just be quick,

Welcome, there is a mint one for £23,000 posted in "price drop new cars" if your interested!


Thanks, a bit too expensive for me. The maximum I can afford is around £14,000. The problem is that although there's loads around it's getting to them. The nearest one I can find at the moment is in Newport, Gwent. The problem there is the local covid lockdown, I don't think 'buying a car' is considered a reasonable excuse to enter the area. Still at least it won't get sold.

Thanks Ian, I'm concentrating on HSE, HSE Lux, or Metropolis. 2013 or later. I guess it will spend most of its time on the road (although some round here have grass down the middle) but I'd love to do some off roading in it. Neve really got the chance in the Jeep.

I bought my 14 plate, absolutely mint dynamic TD4 (with lots of nice added options - nothing the HSE or HSE lux has that I want & don't have) for under 13k around Feb this year - and that was from a dealer - no way on earth that other is worth 23k Rolling with laughter 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic

Oh! and I also came from Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7l with Quadradrive - it had awesome power and was great until someone wrote it off by pulling out of a side street right into its side Big Cry

I would not confine yourself to HSE etc, most things were available as options and many FL2s were up specced by their original purchasers - decide which features you want & concentrate on those.

Harwoods Group have a couple on 14/64 plates at just under/over the £15k mark although they're in SW London area so perhaps too far off for you, especially in present climate?

This is a wise piece of advice.

My original XS spec FL2 came with Leather Memory Seats, 19 inch Diamond Wheels, Spoiler, Tinted Glass, etc.

There are lots of FL2s out there with many factory fitted extras. As most dealers sell on 'badge' you can, if lucky' get an 'upgraded' bargain. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

But no two Metropolis cars were actually the same - as the run out model, whatever came out of the high spec parts bin was fitted Rolling with laughter

Hi everyone, just became a new member, picking up my 13 plate Freelander this afternoon, leaving my 53 Discovery 2 ES behind. Looking forward to driving the next machine, and towing my twin axle caravan.

Whilst the FL2 is a good vehicle, you will miss your D2. I had a very early D2 'S' plate loved every minute of it.

Welcome.
Funny, just yesterday I was wishing I still had my TD5 Disco 2 XS as I needed to take a door up to Yorkshire - it wont fit in the FL2 Jules
