A picture of all the bling would be nice.
If you do put one up, give us all advance warning so we can get our sunglasses ready!

Good day to you all
I am new to the group, having purchased my Freelander 2 late February 2020, just before the total lock down came to visit. So in the past 17 months have driven a huge 500 miles or so. The good thing is just how clean the vehicle is and in Izmir blue I have black gloss painted the front grill and lower stone guard in stone chip and a new lower black grill fitted. Gloss blacked the wing vents, replaced door handles with gloss black. Fitted new black gloss tail gate release and a new black tailgate spoiler. New mud flaps, side body mouldings, all badges including bonnet letters changed to gloss black, all Land Rover decals changed to black, including centre wheel trims. All new black wiper arms and lades. Refurbished the steering wheel with a professional cleaning and re colouring ket (looks good) Fire extinguisher fitted in boot area. Went from head to toe and with fine modelling btush, carefully touched up all marks and scars and scratches then full polish. Washed chassis and cleaned and re repainted the four jacking points with professional black lorry paint. I have tried to clean and re paint the front sub frame but without a lift, it is really an impossible job. Fitted chrome scuff plates to all door handles, chrome front spotlight trims along with a new pair of spots. About the last thing has been a black C pillar decal that now gives a total black line through windows, doors, tailgate etc. I love the vehicle and its comfort and ride and versatility - wish I had changed years ago. Now about me - Retired matelot and scenes of crime officer and IT teacher in FE colleges. That’s it and hello!

leatherrepaircompany.com which was simple and easy to complete. Just one note: - it is not a small undertaking - you have to be meticulous and spotlessly clean with each stage. You will have to wear old clothes or a sheet to cover your legs and be ready for gymnastics when you have to get yourself under the wheel to ensure a thorough covering. If you don't rush it you will be left with a showroom finish with enough over to keep for small damage. Hope that helped.

Hi all, new to the Freelander 2 but had Freelander 1's for many years before upgrading.. Currently running a 2011 HSE in Stornaway Silver.

Hi to all on the Freelander 2 site from me Andy.p, just got a 2011 SD4 in sumatra black after chopping in my old D3 Have I gone from bad to worse?

Hi folks

I’ve come over from another Land Rover forum because I need more specific info on buying and running a FL2.
Use to run a 110 but the wife has made me sell it because it’s not right for the family.
The compromise is a FL2.

Look forward to the banter and advice

Hello and welcome to the best Freelander 2 forum,  DAVE.

Hi everyone! New to the site...currently looking for a Freelander 2.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to join the club after months of searching for a decent motor to pull our converted RICE horse trailer.

I've driven more cars with whining noises than I care to mention, been promised everything will be sorted for the price only to be told I'd have to contribute to the rear diff repair and finally seem to have an honest SD4 HSE.

Advert popped up on Autotrader late Friday in a Mitsubishi dealer nearby. Rang the next morning to be told it wasn't in yet and I was the third person to call. I mentioned I was interested to know if it had a towbar and was reasonably local and he promised to call me before any of the other callers.

I waited about 20 mins then set off anyway and to be fair he did call to say it had arrived, no towbar. I had nothing better to do so carried on.

Turned out to have roof bars, a LR cycle carrier (which I may sell as I have a towbar carrier and two roof carriers already), dog guard although the previous owner didn't have a dog, a patch of rust on the tailgate, a scratch on the passenger door, parking sensors not working (one obviously faulty) and a faulty rear door lock (which I'm more than familiar with from my Jag) all of which would be fixed.

Solid service history, belt changed, receipts for minor niggles, owner was an organist in a church (can you assume anything from that?), nearly new Pirelli Scorpions all round.

Test drive was fine, not a sound from anywhere (other than the roof bars) and I really did floor it to check for smoke, vibration etc. Surprisingly quick for a big brick of a thing

Doing the paperwork a guy comes in and says 'I phoned about the Freelander earlier'.... Sorry.

Dealer says he's had 4 in since they re-opened after covid, all traded in for Outlander PHEV's (I know, I know.....) and every one of them had been sold within 24 hours.

It may just be a shortage round my way, but I am soooo relieved to have finally got one. And I didn't have to compromise on trim or engine. Maybe price a little but I think I've got a good one.

Welcome, enjoy the Unicorn. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Freelander 2 had 6 weeks (starting to question my choice already 😂)

Oh don't say that, due to collect mine on Saturday!

What's happened?

It’s refusing to start with some warning messages coming up I hope people on here can help with the problem

Hello

I am new here.
I have Freelander 2
