United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

OK, 54000 miles, owned mine for 5 years, and one door mirror due to sticking, and I had a faulty clutch replaced. Other that that it has never let me down. It has been a great car.

But I only replaced it because I tow with it, otherwise I would nt have bothered. My dealer stated to me, that if you look at the entire warranty claims for the dealership, FL2 represents just 8% of warranty claims.

This says a lot to me.

You also have to bare in mind that most people go on forums when they have a problem, not when things are going great. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Exactly the same a friend from LR Romania's technical staff told me.
That the FL2 is by far the most successful / reliable model compared with other LR models.
It seems that the whole design is different from the others.
For example, the places that the electrical connectors are placed suggests that the designer took into consideration the possibility of water ingress/corrosion. So they are put in places that condensed water could not easily reach, compared with other LR models where the prevalence of corroded connectors due to condensed water ingress is greater. Also the design of the connectors is different.
So, who knows, maybe the design team was giving its best in the FL2's case or was most of it different.
