Hello all!

Want to introduce myself briefly.
Just bought a very mint Freelander 2 sep 2012 from a very good friend of mine. It's a Dutch one specced as Prestige, has a 2.2 Td4 engine with auto box with electric heated leather seats, nav system and Alpine soundsystem. It was a one owner car, bought by my friend in 2017 from the main dealer. Had it's services always at main dealer and yet only covered 96.000 km.

Will collect car in april when I'm in the Netherlands.

I'm on the Fullfat forum for a while since I am a Range Rover owner for many years; P38 from 2008 till 2014 and since then the L322 Td6 Vogue which I really love but unfortunately is rusty hence the buy of this Freelander 2.

Some upgrades are on my wishlist: heated steering wheel and Park Heater. Will do all the maintenance and repairs myself, so hope I get some good information from you Freel2 members And of course will contribute with my experience and knowledge

All the best!

Anyone know where I can get help with iid tool. i have tried the website and fb page but not got any response.

Hi my name is Dave and this is my first adventure into the world of Green Oval ownership. I have finally took the plunge and purchased a 2011 Freelander 2. I know my way around a set of spanners having been an HGV spanner monkey in a previous life and from what I've read on that there interweb I might need those skill frequently ( wish me luck )

Hi and welcome, if you've brought well and the motor has had it's
regular servicing (with the correct parts) then you may be pleasantly
surprised in the reliability of the Freelander 2,
Enjoy your motor.  DAVE.

Thank you Dave, although the vehicle was purchased as having a "full service history" like an idiot i didn't check it fully ( school boy error ) I have since discovered that the service history is from a general garage in West London and not Land rover. and to make matters worse the garage has since changed hands and the have no record of what's been done or in fact no record of the car having been serviced there . I have since started to plunge money into it in an effort to catch what I can e.g. Cam belt and water pump changed, power steering reservoir and fluid change, 4 new tires and the efforts continue. Time will tell.

Auto drain and refill X 3, haldex Oil and filter,

Thank you.

Hi all!

Thank you to everyone for all the info on this forum! I've decided to have a go at doing the timing belt on a 08 td4 that I just picked up as a project car. And this is where my issues have started haha! If you see the post and have any suggestions as to what could be going on please let me know

HI
My name is Will and I have just bought a 2007 HSE in tamboral flame. My local garage had it in stock and they have been servicing it for the past 10 years, and it has a FSH and the belts etc have all just been done. I trust them implicitly with all my vehicles and have been using them for 30 years and saw it at the back of the garage when i was having my current car worked on. It had just been traded in by the current owner as the rear subframe was rotting and they were putting a good second-hand replacement on but there is surface rust under the rear end of the car which they showed me - seems to be common with these cars.

Its not going to be a main driver so I will have some time to treat the surface rust behind the wheel arches etc to get a few years more life out of it

cheers

will

Hello!

I've been lurking for a while now and thought I should finally say hello! After having a D2, D3 and then a Disco Sport, I bought a 2010 FL2 GS just over a year ago as a second family car and an off-road toy for myself and so far I've been really impressed. I don't need to weep each time I visit the petrol station and so far it's kept up with all the 'big boys' when on the green lanes, and in some ways it's more fun to take off the tarmac as you really need to think about what you're doing and fine tune your skills.

So far I've had the cam belt changed, new throttle body, haldex service and pump replacement and I'm just about to do handbrake cables and rear brakes. I've replaced the interior with a heated electric one from an HSE but still need the CCF edit made to get the heated seats to work.

Hope to be able to contribute to the community and learn more about the car.

Cheers,
Graeme

Like the car - especially the size and features.

I have issues to want to resolve - I will look into the forum for help.

Specifically

- Navigation Not working
- Rear parking camera not working
- Engine codes P0026, P0017, POO52A, P0016

Hope to find help inside the forum.

Hi at all,thanks for accept me in this forum...greetings from italy

Hi. Ricardo, in a place where things don't rust but melt in the sun.
Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experience - I hope I can do the same.

Introducing my 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 SE automatic. 220+ thousand km, Baltic Blue, Almond interior, fair condition and needing some maintenance. I'm the 5th owner of this one, and I'd like to get 10 years out of it, exploring the wide brown land and having adventures: nice ones though, not hot smoky ones or sad oily ones.

From the service history, looks like the first owners towed a caravan (electric trailer brake giveaway) for 60k over 2 years, 3 dealer services, then sold it. 2nd and 3rd owners daily driver over 5 years, intermittently serviced it between 70k and 170k in generic shops. 4th owner's project car, put in an upgraded diff and haldex service at 195k, services and repairs at a rover specialist, family and fortunes changed upwards and he sold it to me at 208k.

I've had the timing belt & water pump done and a service at a specialist shop, with an indifferent status report, so I'll take it from here, thanks.

Hi everyone im new to your fantastic wee forum, me and the good lady both got 07&08 reg freelander 2s, think they great wee cars and hoping with help and guidance from the many knowledgeable people on here we might be able to keep them on the road for a wee while yet...

Hi folks many of you know me from the defender page! I now have this FL2 and love it! Looking forward to getting stuck in to chats etc and hoping to learn a lot from the veteran owners.
