I’m currently looking for a freelander 2 for my other half. I’ve been told these are some of the must haves on the Freelander

Facelift
Manual
GS / XS / HSE
Leather
Around or Lower than 100k

Our location is Northampton. If you’re within 60 miles and want to sell your FL2 please get in touch.

The best FL2 is the SD4.

Try to find one with a good service record and a WARRANTY. Beware of FL2s being sold because owners/garages have not the knowledge/test equipment to find obscure faults.

(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

As a biased owner I agree the Sd4 with its 190hp is the best engine but they are all automatic as standard. Persuade her to at least test drive one. My wife always maintained that she didn't like and wouldn't drive an auto. Seems to manage ok anytime she drives mine 🤔 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.

Having just gone down that route.
Educate yourself on service history
Amazing how many 10+ year FL2 where owners have not done the cam belt and water pump, idler gear, tensioner gear etc etc change outs. Or the gearbox/rear dif/haldex/ ptu oil changes etc
These alone can cost over £1000+ at a local indie.
Then their are owners who have never changed brake fluid of the brake hoses during the life of the car and no matter what the service book says Do an oil and filter change with the correct ----OIL

Good luck

What ever motor you buy 2nd hand there is always going to be a certain amount of crossing fingers, just have some rainy day money ready in case.

Although I own the petrol 3.2 i6, if I had to choose, I'd go for the Sd4. After many years of trying to buy mine off me, I found my brother an Sd4 Sport LE which despite his reservations having only driven manual vehicles most of his life, he now says he'd never go back to a manual vehicle.
Infact, his elderly neighbour after seeing my brother's asked me if I could look for a Freelander 2 for her, stipulating it MUST be both an HSE and Sd4. After more than 12 months, she says she's never loved a car so much - despite owning her MG for 20 years !!

Another thumbs up for sd4 HSE. Owned for 7 yrs and now on 120k miles. This my 4th Freelander and 7th Landrover..all automatic. Haven’t had manual since 1976.

Bit more than 60 miles away but Rommel has one that ticks all your boxes in the for sale section 👍

Does something happen at 100,000 miles?

Thanks for the pointing it out. I did contact Rommel. But now my other half is wanting a Volvo xc60.

I have no problem with higher mileage cars. But I’m not buying it for me and it was a stipulation not to be over 100k.
