2007 Freelander 2 TD4 S Manual Stornoway Grey

First Service Completed - Faulty parts also to be fixed

I had the first service carried out on Tuesday. 22,000k on the clock. Cost me €170. I also got the software update carried out. The best part of this is that now the clock is displayed on the radio all the time

Clicking under the car while cruising - they fixed the problem which WAS the heat sheild around the propshaft as I was experiencing the clicking noise for some time under the car.

Creaking Wing Mirrors - they could not fix them so they have ordered 2 replacement ones.

Warn plastic around the seatbelt - they also have ordered 2 new interior panels for around the seat belts which will make it look better but does not fix the problem of the plastic wearing away.

All in all I am very happy with the service I got at the dealer. Hopefully this will continue and I will update as soon as they have installed the replacement parts.

Hope everyone else also has this service from their dealer.

Are you saying you have a clock reading when the radio is off too? I think this is one of the strangest things in the car, i can't tell the time without music on.

Do you mean they will replace the plastics, or are you talking about some kind of add-on?

Yes, Clock now displayed as soon as the key is put in. No need to have radio on anymore.

Only looks like that they are replacing the plastics. I would say that if enough people request these to be replaced that they will soon come up with some add-on to eliminate this problem.

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Stornoway Grey

My car will be having its first service in just over a weeks time. The 'menu' price displayed at service reception is .... £346

As I am not paying for the service I don't know what the cost will be, but I'm 100% certain the lease company will not be paying that price.

Interesting to see the comment about creaking mirrors because they will be on my list of problems.....

Hi
Might be a good thing for us all to find what different dealers are charging, we can then perhaps discuss prices with our dealer!

I like the idea of 170 euros in Ireland. All of a sudden a Guinness sampling weekend in Dublin sounds like a good idea and can then head back to the ferry when sobered up. You certainly have to shop round these main dealers, some friends of ours have a Disco 3 and ringing around saved them £70 and that was at another main dealer just 30 miles away. Needless to say the local one then did an immediate price match!

Clicking under the car while cruising that was fixed at last service is back after just 2,000 miles!!!!!
I have also not been contacted by dealer to have the replacement wing mirrors and worn plastic around the seat belts fitted.

Will be going back hopefully next week if I can get MORE time off work to get this stuff fixed.

Hi, Funny thing is that I work in Limavady!! Yes it was in Letterkenny where I got it serviced. As far as I know they have recently changed their labour prices so it could be a bit more now. I can PM you an email address for a quote if you wish.
