Wales 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey
Bit of advice needed....

.....Well, I'm now in possession of a freelander 2! After the dealer fitted a new diff, and was returned 24 hours later for a new clutch......

Now the parking sensors have packed up completely and the O/S rear door won't lock.

Even worse, I've noticed that it has been about 3/4s re-sprayed, and not very well. Kicking myself that I didn't notice it earlier.... Big Cry

Beginning to think I may have bought a bit of a lemon..........

Anyone with any constructive ideas as to what best to do whilst I sit here and feel sorry for myself and cry into my glass of whiskey?? Big Cry

Did you buy from a Land Rover dealer? They offer approved used cars and a warranty with their used cars. I believe Mike from LR on here has been most helpful with warranty issues etc.

Approved cars are supposedly up to a very high standard Confused LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Purchased from a local Mitsubishi dealer. Going to pop over tomorrow and have a serious conversation about a refund. Not sure how I stand with regards to it but I've seriously lost faith in it already and the paintwork is making me question it's past a fair bit..... Big Cry

as you are aware there will be some kind of used car warranty, but you don't mention how long you have had the car ?

Before going down the rejection and refund road, it is appropriate to give the dealer chance to repair the fault. Keep everything in writing too. Verbal promises were never said when the chips are down... LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
