Yes, I know how you feel, but you don't have to wait as long as me!!!

I have been told late February for mine, but the dealer says that this is "conservative", and he can improve it. I won't hold my breath!

Only four specs in Oz;SE, HSE, i6 Auto, TD4 Auto. Not may discounts, lots extra for Blue Tooth, accessories ultra expensive, (AU$3K for sunroof, AU$1,500 for roof racks).

Has anyone in Oz had a quote for a towpack? Does the auto require fitment of extra cooling? The Barwon Heads Browns

I was wondering if you pester the dealer to get you the 4x4 as soon as possible is a good idea,
You pay a dealer delivery fee and would expect them to hand over the keys after checking everything out carefully and also making sure there are no faults to rectify.

Hi all

Ordered a TD HSE auto in September, just waiting for the DVLA to send me a retention certificate before I take delivery.

Regards

Hi there Corinthian hopefully the post will deliver your retention certificate soon (postal strikes willing fingers crossed) if you see UKdaves FL2 check for scottish flags etc getting the feeling he`s gone "native" ......

Well done to England reaching the Rugby world cup final .....again and 3-0 in the footy

I traded in my Shogun a month ago in the hope I would get the Freelander 2 by the beginning of October – the DVLA now seem to think it will be between two weeks & a month before I get the retention certificate – I’m now in a loan Disco3 XS until I take delivery of the new car - UKdave104, what part of Worcester are you visiting? An old friend of mine is now living in Edinburgh, hope to visit her in December with any luck.

We'll be in the St Johns area, but could be driving anywhere as the family live all over worcester.
As for going native.....................NAH .........commando  ______________________

Hi everybody!

After reading the forum for a while I ordered my new Freelander 2 TD4 auto zermatt silver with sunroof three weeks ago. Just notified today from the dealer my delivery date should be mid January.

Thanks to everybody for the enthusiasm and the information which contributed to my decision, even if I was already in love since the beginning.

Congratulations Attox for following your heart and taking that brave step to order.
In the time i have been waiting i would of liked a handbook to study,but this forum is a big help,hope we will all be ok when it arrives

Hi... to all. A Freelander sucker for five years now and have experienced all of the niggles my previous two versions were renowned for. Now have the '2' (ES) and, fair play, it is the nuts'. 12k now and it will go in for its first service, Monday next. I know - 15k would be the norm but the water leak from the sun roof is getting to annoy and the 'graunch' from the wing mirrors unfolding wakes the neighbours each morning. So to avoid the grimace from the keeper of reception when requesting a courtesy car (more than once in a year) I thought I would combine the admission. If you want to venture further into my immediate experience look at my reply to a comment on quirks and faults. I would be interested to know if the fault I experience is unique or more wide spread.
It is is all quite insignificant, in the scheme of things, as truly... The Freeander 2 is a wonderful motor. ( So far)

Hi all - collected my Rimini Red XS a couple of weeks ago and just got around to joining the forum. Mine is an ex-demo so hopefully escaped a good chunk of the initial depreciation Got an unusual interior combo which not seen before - all black (carpets etc) but full leather seats and door panels in alpaca.
