United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Fuji White

Tigger - understood about the twin headlights in the dark. I drive across country to work and am keen on good lighting. Xenons on the MY2013 are fine but bulb upgrades on halogens are effective as well. As to the phone keypad - didn't have the premium stereo in my previous Freelander but the MY2013 has a touchscreen keypad, etc for the phone once paired via Bluetooth - so should be just as usable/accessible. Depending on your phone it brings up your contacts and call logs as well.


Xenons really are the perfect answer! I appreciate that bulb upgrades can be effective, but I normally wind up doing that even to the dual lamp equipped cars!

The thing I like about the "physical" keypad, is it always being available, irrespective of what's on the screen at the time.

I know what you mean about the xenons, I even upgrade'd the builds in ours but still not grate , and compare them to the xenons on our new audi it really is night and day difference

Thanks Andrew.

Mixed feelings really; sad to lose the RS, but happy to have a Freelander back Very Happy And it's nice to have the posh one too and I've wanted a sunroof for ages...

Where did you come from in Cornwall?

Camborne. Moved there when I was a toddler (having been born across the river in Devon) and left when I went to university. Family moved out of Cornwall after that, so don't get back that often Sad 2016 BMW X3 30d SE in red
