Hi, Just forward thinking here, yes I know I can ask the dealer but thought I would enquire here first.
Does anyone know if there is any European Breakdown cover with a new Freelander?
I travel within Europe a lot with work and my current car (Merc) has this cover.
any feedback would be gratefully received.  Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

You are covered pretty comprehensively in Europe. However they no longer provide medical cover like they used to. Terms and conditions at https://landrover-extendedwarranty-extend-...cument.pdf
You have full cover for the three years of the LR warranty. You can opt for it if you take out extended warranty after that. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

Note that European cover is restricted to 30 days per single trip and to total of 91 days in a year.

Thanks for the replies, 91 days should cover it nicely, mainly breakdown cover needed and no trip takes longer than a week.
that is something less to worry about.
Really looking forward to taking delivery, only 9 more weeks-it's killing me! Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

Get a proper spare if you are going overseas a lot. Don't rely on that silly bottle of gunge in the boot. I picked up a wheel and tyre and jack off eBay  * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* GONE.2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Rocket ship. 33mpg.
* Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit
* 1949 80" in family since 1975

Hi Have ordered a full size spare with car order, cannot understand how anyone thinks an inflation kit will cut the mustard.
4 x 4 tyres tend to go big time and shred in my experience and no little tub of foam is going to fix that!!! Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

The little tub of foam saves a lot of weight and improves the manufacturer's headline mpg figures. It has no other use as far as I can see! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

A little tub of foam surely cannot make that much difference to the MPG, maybe a point one or two tenths of a mile.
from a practical point of view, would never go anywhere in a 4 x 4 without a full size spare.
anyone running with a tube of inflating stuff has never experienced a blow out in a 4x 4, try fixing that!
also has to be a cost implication from the manufacturer, another "add on" at extra cost albeit only £185-00 when ordered new, a bargain for Alloy and Tyre anyway.
just gotta be done. Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

Multiply the saving between the cost of a tin of foam against the cost of a wheel, tyre, jack and wheel brace by the number of Freelander 2's sold (300,000+) and that's a considerable saving even for a large company. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Absolutly true, but also a great sales and marketing option, how many of those 300,000+ have since bought a spare wheel and tyre,
not knocking it by the way, just seems that for a 4x4 NOT having a full size spare is asking for trouble.[/s] Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!
