A fair point, whilst I do enjoy tinkering with our cars and trying to keep them just so, I do still get enjoyment from driving my Freelander and recently we visited my wife's parents in South Devon and it just eats the miles and it is nice having an elevated driving position, especially as the weather was pretty poor on the trip down.

I don't commute in the Freelander 2 i6, I only use it for trips and fun stuff.

Sorry Arctic, I don't really have pictures, but I'll try and describe it anyway on my FL2 SE i6 automatic Aisin AWF21 6 speed gearbox. Maybe it'll offer some sense. I'll post it over at :

Ripped off every single sheet of privacy film from my FL2 i6. I loathe the c..p. Much better looking without the film on the glass areas, and now I can see something if I drive at night and if or when I should be driving down from a mountain in a thunderstorm at night. All glass is toned green from Land Rover, and that is fine and enough.

Right, so I installed a leather HSE steering wheel in good condition. Nice to get rid of the plastic steering wheel that was standard on our car. So, I got a little tired after 1 hour looking at the new steering wheel in leather being shiny, wearing spots and so on. Decided to take it off and removed all the leather colorant and then treated it with leather binder a few times, then adhesion promoter a few times, then 4 layers of black leather color and finally 4 layers of matt clear coat.

Installed a set of wind deflectors yesterday, to lessen the spray of mud and water while having the windows slightly open. There might be slightly lesser wind noise as well, from driving at the motorway.

I installed Weathertechs on my 2008. At that time they were made in Germany. They are in channel and work perfectly, no damage. |

Thanks for Information. We didn't make the Landie Show but we did DO something IN our FL2 Today. Making good use of it's versatility, we went to Cheddar Garden Centre and filled it up. You can see why I am a great believer in having a good strong boot floor to strap things down onto as I managed to get into it 3 bags of compost, 4 bags of gravel, a disability scooter, a box of bits of food, and umpteen pots of plants. (There are rachet straps as well as the bungees) My Metro swallowed the lot with no discernible loss of speed/acceleration, but it did seem quieter, and the ride was marginally better.

I remember seeing a Vulcan at Cosford Airshow many years ago.
