Hi Nick

Cheers for the welcome. Basing my worries on the reliability index on Warranties Direct (one of the reputable insurance warranty providers, as featured n Watchdog) Anyway - Forester is the second most reliable on their database but Freelander is, er, not very high up with a index of over 200.

Hasn't put me off buying.

Kippy eh? Watch out for a Pimp stylie 07, in Sumatra Black with privacy glass, towing a little Eriba Troll (which I'll probably forget is there )

Cheers

Hi

Another noob here.
About to get my first FL2 – and first Land Rover – this weekend. Already discovered a lot through lurking here over the past week or so – thanks for all the great advice (and a few laughs) so far...

Another new guy to Freelanders. Just picked up a 56 plate GS. I finally decided I missed my disco 2 way too much and flogged the BMW to get back into a 4x4 (not a truck or jeep)

Owned a few other landrovers and still own a Series III for trialling.

I have sworn not to trial the freelander but already i find myself looking at where I can add recovery points.  I must be addicted:

Currently:

56 Freelander 2 GS
74 Series III Truck Cab

Previously

99 Discovery II TD5
84 90 CSW 3.5 V8

Hello everybody peeps! Found the site whilst surfin'. I have just picked up my Freelander 2 having been a Freelander 1 owner since 2000. What a difference. The 2 is light years ahead and sooo refined. This site looks to be full of useful info. I hope to contribute in the future. In the mean time I need to go and look at the car for a while.  Cider I up landlord!!!

Hello all. Having mixed feelings today as the first chance to investigate my new GS (picked up Wednesday but been on the road since). But had to say goodbye to my faithful Discovery 300 as I can't really justify 2 Land Rovers.

fear not, I reckon you will love the fl2  At work

Thought that i would say hello as ive had one foot planted in the D3 site for about 3 years.

We decided to defect over to a Freelander and have been looking at new ones. However, i just can't get my head around that old enemy, depreciation, so we have decided to get a used one.

Fingers crossed that tomorrow we will be the owners of an 07 HSE in Stornaway Grey with factory privacy glass and Xenons.

The grey ones will depreciate the most  At work

You know there's usually a reason for lower prices .....

My main memory of Kippax was the trip to Gibson lane swimming pool once a month - I still can't swim!

Anyway - I've bought a Zematt Silver XS today, delivery next week, so I hope to learn all about my new purchase here and how to retrofit all the stuff I should have bought this morning

I wonder how long mine's been parked up in Warwickshire
