We have read that dreadful story earlier, and I wonder what the outcome was. Of course similar problems can happen with any (bad) vehicle and is not LR related. Several other makes are prone to serious breakdown problems without naming the worst ones. However, be well assured this must be a very rare and serious problem and hopefully only a one off. LR should have been more helpful with sorting out, but if Marshalls of Bedford were worth their reputation, they would also have been more diligent in sorting the problem out with LR.

I also wrote "...........although several have had a few minor ones that often get talked more about then they are worth" ......So it is better to keep things in prospective Most of us have NOT had any problems 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I have some sympathy for the guy - its the worst feeling in the world when you fear for driving the car incase the fault reoccurs! But it has to be put into perspective - NOBODY else on this forum has experienced this problem.

I hear what shilen and Nick say, but we don’t want to put off a potential new FL2 owner (Arcane1) by one very unfortunate and disgruntled owner. We do not know the whole background to the problem, only as it is written, which does sound almost like a horror story .

As with all these things, there are 2 sides to it. I'm sure that Land Rover and marshalls will give a very different account of the fault. And generally the truth is somewhere between the 2. |

Strangely enough I was also thinking how did he know it was HDC as mine says HDC not available in anyting above 1st gear and will flash the warning light and say so on the display. Could it be just the engine cut out and all the panel warning lights came on like they do when you put the ignition on.

I personally wouldnt believe any one account of a story that none of us have even heard of it. If there was such an issue why havent they been on here talking as we all know its the quickest way to get a problem sorted.
