Hi Everyone,
Just picked up my new Freelander2 last Saturday and can honestly say I am impressed!

Having owned a Freelander 1 , and a end of life Discover 2 Landmark , I am pleased with the
quality and style of the new car.

Completed 400 miles, and still quarter of a tank + of diesel left!
Not bad for a 4x4.

Any other new owners out there?

Paul.

Welcome and good evening!!! We all were at one stage Some of us as you have read are just old and grumbling now, after 11.5K miles on the clock. Still enjoying mine though even if sat in traffic jambs,like today for 4 bloody hours!!

Welcome PKYP Wish you the best with your new babe! It's a fabulous car, you'll see. I have the i6 and even enjoy it in traffic jams! So will you Carl when you get your auto diesel. Btw old man, don't grumble about that, at least you have rain and about 20 (according to the news), we reached 46 in Athens yesterday and we have all got hot now!

Hey,
had my FL2 TD4 SE for 1 month, covered 2K miles, all is fine!
Great car, very comfortable, suprisingly good economy at around 37mg.
Still got a smile on my face.

One thing i would change would be to have the rear glass open seperately to the tailgate
as it did in my old FL1 and Jag X type estate.

Drive well
Paul

Since software upgrade my mph has gone down from 37 to 33!, anyone else found this problem?

Yep, new owner here. Car is 4 days old today............might bake a cake later

Had my first glitch today. Went out for a drive, stopped at Peterhead to take the air, started the car and my trip meter and Av mpg had reset itself to zero

Not to worry, she still drives beautifully

Hi Everyone,

Just completed a 2000 mile tour of France with the FL2, and it hummed along the French Autoroutes like a dream. We drove in the mad Paris traffic, and on the wide open motorways without a problem.
Even got a few interesting looks from the locals as not many FL2 in France at present.

With mixed driving in built up Paris and doing 130KPH (80MPH) on the motor way, fully loaded with occupants plus their luggage, the car returned 37mph. This includes using cruise control and air con.

Seriously the Cruise control and Navigation system meant driving was made even easier.

I am still impressed with this car!

Hope this continues.

Paul.  Bye for now,
Paul

David,

Do you keep a paper record of fuel/miles? That would indicate if the mpg has really change or if its a display error on the trip computer.


I had first software updates, At present have not had any fail to start episodes, or trip resets. However the CD has given up completely (its locked up with a CD in it) been waiting four weeks to get that fixed. Also, the level at which the low fuel warning light comes on has changed. It now turns on a just below a quarter on the gauge, where it used to come on much lower. This is no big deal but it does show how these software downloads can cure one problem and introduce another.... guess thats what happens when you have a car full of computers.
