Hi All,

Hope everyone has had a good new years and Christmas.

First post so please be easy on me!

I am thinking of entering the world of Land Rover and getting a Freelander 2, budget is not huge about £7k and I have seen there are some around albeit with 100k+ on the clock which I'm okay with. What I would like to know is what are there differences between the specs ? For example I see a lot of GS and S Td4 and I can see that the GS has a higher spec by the price, but what are the differences ?

Does anyone know of a handy guide comparing the specs of the Freelander 2 ?

Thanks

Scott

7k, so you will be looking pre MY11, iirc Terrain Response became standard on the S Model from then on. Maybe MY10

Thanks for that model walk. Was just what I was looking for !

The ones I have been browsing are 08 - 10 model years. I was reading that there is a new Freelander coming out soon as well, so I'm hoping that I can get a little more for my money once they do. I suppose they also value more in the winter months too.

The Freelander has finished, last one rolled off the production line a few weeks back. 
Hung like Einstein, smart as a horse.

My first FL2 was an "S". Basically, with S spec vs GS, you get smaller alloys, no front fog lights, no terrain response and no bluetooth telephone integration. The only thing I really missed was the bluetooth but there are after market products to cure that problem. I would tread carefully with that budget and probably opt for a newer S spec as they are still very good cars. I don't think there is going to be much of a drop in prices in the near future. I have a mate in the trade who says there is an oversupply of high mileage FL2's at the moment though so they are proving hard to shift unless priced keenly. Haggle hard or perhaps take your chances buying privately?

My son has had a couple of S specs and now a has GS. He reckons that the standard terrain response on the S is more than adequate for his work which involves a lot of motorway and farm work and the terrain settings on the GS are effectively cosmetic. The tyres on the S are usually on 16" wheels and tyre dealers had problems since there is not a wide selection of 4x4 tyres. He was even told that the ones fitted originally when he bought it were Transit van tyres (legacy of the Ford ownership of JLR) so watch out for that.

I've got a 07 plate Se Td4, what's the equivalent now? We're looking at getting a new model in February and we want the same specs.

If you have an iPhone or iPad search for freelander 2 in the App Store . It's an brochure of 2013 cars Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Thanks for the great advice guys! I think I might look at the 10 plates that are S spec rather than an older GS.

Is there anything in particular that I should be looking out for when buying a FL2 with over 100k on the clock? Like checking that the cam belt has been replaced, rust etc? Is there anything else that they are prone too with high mileage?

I found that I could get a S for the same price as an older higher spec fl2. While I miss cruise, radio controls, spare wheel and heated screen, I accept that as the cost of 3 years newer car.
Just need to get 16" wheel, outbid a few times FL2 11 S Black 😂
Gone Disco2 TD5 GS
