From the North East of England, I have a 2012 FL2, and a bunch of questions about it. Hoping to get some answers in here, and I also hope I can contribute in turn.

HI all. From not so sunny Norther Ireland with a Freelander 2 SD4 HSE. Long time lurker on the forum and much knowledge gained. Hope not to be too big a nuisance with silly questions lol

Hi all,

I replied to a post about headlights a few weeks ago but then realised I should have said hello first.

Located just south of Gatwick Airport, always wanted a 4x4 to knock about in but went down the road of buying a new vehicle from my old Zafira Mk1 (that I loved) just to find the great world reset changed my work pattern to not needing a car that much any more. The new car PCP was up in the summer so I sold it to the dancing calculator people and with the tidy profit bought myself a 2010 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE after copious amounts of YouTube research (as you do!).

I love it. Probably paid a little towards the top end but they seldom come up on AT and the one I found checked out in all the right places, came with enough warranty to allow me to get it fully inspected and reject if needed. I have ended up spending a bit on a full service, rear shocks and some other small items but my local independent garage specialises in 4x4s and are brutally honest. They said it was a very good example which was reassuring. Just sorting out the headlights to get the xenons focussed correctly in their housing to maximise their output (I have experience with discharge lighting in the entertainments industry).

There's a few more improvements to apply that seem to be a standard approach from what I read and see here and elsewhere. Given I only do a few thousand miles each year I can continue to enjoy the driving experience which makes me smile every time I go out for a run.

Cheers!

Paul.
