I don’t know if there were any changes but when I had occasion to remove the under tray from my MY2007 FL2 it was pretty heavy and moulded to give it strength and there were many more bolts than would be needed for a simple cover. |

All under trays are the same. It is very likely a structural member though, as it would reduce subframe distribution under load. Many vehicles use similar items to increase stiffness of subframes. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The replacement for the SE. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Almost sold. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. |

Hi, you wouldn't happen to know if under tray has common design and fitting points across fl2 td4 range. I have sourced a 2008 tray and need to know if it will fit a fl2 td4 2013.

In Jan 2018 I installed a genuine Mantec front protection plate.

I didn't know a Freelander had to have one, my i6 didn't have one when i bought it, just presumed it was a plastic job.

I believe all steel under trays are the same, as they bolt to the subframe, which I believe is shared across all years of the Freelander 2. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The replacement for the SE.

Apparently there is a noticeable difference with and without the undertray in place. Jules |

Surely the greatest advantage will sump protection when off road. I have same on my now knackered shogun. The disadvantage is if course masking oil leaks as is gets soaked in to the foam! |

The under tray on the Freelander 2 is a structural member, designed to stop the front subframe from lozenging under load, as well as being part of the front crash protection for the vehicle. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The replacement for the SE.

Ive read that steering response is improved with the undertray in place. Jules |
