Hi,
I've just bought a Freelander 2 2012 automatic.
The gear shift button doesn't depress, yet you can still move through the gears. It seems a little stiff. Is this okay or not? I see others have had similar problems. Is it a problem? Or is it likely to become problematic?

[quote="Gimlet"]Hi all. 2013 Freelander 2 XS purchased last week. Only 41K on the clock, got my first problems already. Engine management light on, stumbling, low power, red triangle lights up then goes into limp mode. Limp mode clears on stopping and restarting the engine but engine management on all the time.

Hoping it's just a fuel filter issue as the fuel level was low at the time, but fearing turbo problems. Also noticed when pulling over when the red triangle came on that the power steering groans on full lock.

Got a sinking feeling about this car...

Problem solved. Cheap and nasty Halfords battery not holding sufficient charge and low voltage setting off all sorts of alerts.
Luckily found a really good independent specialist nearby who put his finger on it immediately. Top notch Varta battery now fitted.

Really pleased to hear it 👍

Hi just joined, bought a 2010 GS Auto for peanuts, plenty of things to fix on it!

Other than the gearbox, is the restnof the transmission nthebsame and fully interchangeable, ie PTU, prop shaft, haldex, diff etc, only I'm going to need to get used replacements for 2 or 3 of those to fix this one properly and wondering if I should buy a whole car with a blown engine, but which is a manual?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi guys, im new to the site to attempt to pick someones brain regarding a power steering non return valve on a 2010 freelander 2 2.2td4.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, just bought my first Freelander. Love it but have already run into a problem
Will post in the relevant forum after I have tried searching for similar problems.

Just purchased other FL2 (last owned in 2017). This one was destined for scrap but I was able to replace DMF and Clutch myself. I have a couple of minor electrical issues to work through (phone button on dash not activating and rear wiper seized). I am looking forward to sharing my experiences. I also own a 2007 Discovery 3 that keeps me on my toes.

Joining here from the Full Fat as hope to soon acquire a FL2 when I move to Turkey. Fun fact: a 2013 model will cost me £25k plus there as all cars are scarily expensive. My 65 plate SDV8 Vogue SE with 81000 miles on the clock would cost about £100k there, whilst I will be lucky to get £20k when I sell it here!

Hi guys I am John from Hastings

Greetings from OZ. Recently bought my first Landy 2011 TD4e, 160k and well looked after. Plan to add whatever I can to the community.

We have just bought a 2012 Freelander2. Upgraded from a Freelander 1, which was our second one.

Hoping to learn a lot and share.
Geoff
