Erm, you just push it and it ejects. If your key fob square thingy is tricky to remove then perhaps ask the dealer to check it cos it is very easy on mine.

Anyway, mostly happy with my car. In fact the only complaint is the knocking noise (now fixed) which has occured twice. Its a known fault apparently, something to do with a panel in the A Pillar.

The car itself is great  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

I have gone for an 8, based on my 2 yr SE ownership, minor issues only maintenance wise, dealers OK but servicing expensive (London Prices?) Fuel consumption not good, but many short trips, new 10 TD4 HSE currently looks better on fuel but too few miles to properly judge. Yes boot space limited but agree that is what you get! Otherwise buy a Disco 4. Great car, might have been a 9, but I am a mean ... Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
Gone - A great 57 Plate, Auto SE, Bought Feb 2009, Roof Rails and Mudflaps added on purchase. Blue colour, anything but drug dealer black.....

Nearly a years on no probs at all very pleased

Gave it an 7. Wanted to give more - amazing offroad and in snow/ice - beat competition into a cocked hat.

Knocked off marks for boot space, grumbly diesel (if only they could buy VWs 170bhp CR - fab engine), and the rubbish protection of the LR rubber mats!

I love it though!

Have to be a 7.

Really pleased with the drive etc. Disappointed that as a MY11 and less than 2 months old already had Land Rover assist out for a DPF differential pressure sensor low issue and been back to the dealers to have the boot latch replaced.

Why haven't these issues already been addressed? DPF's have been in Europe for years now. Why weren't lessons learned? Also the boot latch seems to be a common fault.

Just glad it's under warranty.

I`ll give it an 8,thats based on 12ish months of se ownership.couple of niggles,seatbelt wear on both front belts.ok fuel consumption,dodgy paint,front drivers fog light appears to be peeling off.that said,it`s going in for service soon and hopefully it will be sorted under warranty.the car has been fantastic in the recent snow and is plenty big enough for our needs,so overall. MY2009 2.2 td4 se

By far the best car I have ever had and the most reliable. Hard to fault it. I would however like a low ratio gearbox but then again I'm a vanner and C.G. will take no notice of me.

Got an 8 coz of LR being liars about the fuel consumption. Apart from that, great car and gives me an excuse to buy Land Rover mags.

I had 2 great FL2's and would give them 10/10 but I am now a vanner and drive a RRS worth 1/10 so not sure what to do  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

10, would have been 9 but its not a BMW

But seriously, mine is in at dealers at the mo having 4th service and mot, apparently it has passed but i had a few things I wanted sorted (still on extended warranty) one of which was the parking sensors playing up when wet. Had a phone call to say they need replacing, and will be done tomorrow.

Gave an 8 as it just needs 2 extra bits;
A low range box,
An interior similiar to the RRS + fridge

Oh and a bit more ground clearance would not go a miss... freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold
