2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

5 Years old and still looking good!

Next month will be my FL2's 5th birthday. So after the Scotland Trip last month, 3 hours were spent machine polishing the wheels to get the marks out, which has worked well as 95% of them have gone completley, a bit more effort and the rest will be gone.

I also masked off all the trim and machine polished the whole car to remove any slight swirl marks. (Not that there were many!) I figured I may as well keep her for another year now.

Near on 4 1/2 years ownership so far, the longest I have kept a car so far!

Great looking car. Love the 2011 facelift and the twin rear pipes. Does the i6 silencer fit easily?

On the question of wheels needing a refurb, Hunters Land Rover in Derby are advertising a refurb with free colour change if wanted for £99...... Maybe all the dealers have this offer on, I'm not sure, but will check on the price (is it for all four wheels) when I collect my own car tomorrow. 2010 HSE TD4 auto, Biscay Blue, Almond Leather, facelift front and rear, detachable towbar, front & rear mudflaps, bib spoilers, clear high level brake light, smooth rear wiper, colour coded door handles.

i6 Rear silencer is pretty straight forward. So go for it! I know about Hunters wheel re-furb, would not touch it to be honest, they just paint the face of the wheel and don't remove the tyres. So I would not consider doing what they offer. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
