Although I agree with you Dorset, it clearly hasn't hurt them - we've all bought them knowing they could have these problems. It would seem the love for the model outweighs the known issues... FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Not so sure that people buy cars knowing of the potential problem areas, I sometimes talk to FL2 owners in car parks and they seem unaware of the standard problems. Similarly, my wife has a Peugeot 207 which has a number of "well known" faults that people are unaware of. It's as if people only look at the cosmetic appearance of a car when they buy it. I saw an advert last night on TV for a small car and it was all about the fact that it had alloys and bluetooth and was a "cool" car to drive.

Sorry I should have been clearer - this forum is full of people who buy them knowing full well what they are getting themselves into. Everyone I know said "oh, you don't want to buy a Land Rover, they break all the time". I would imagine that is a fairly common thing, yet they still sell very well.

But back on topic - a diff going at 20k sucks. My transfer box went at 36k - really does make you wonder about the quality of those really important bits! FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

They don't need to know how to wire up a plug.......... they are all moulded now so you should never need to change a plug

I fully agree with you. I was aware of these issues but I thought it was isolated cases and/or LR will fix this during production run ... If I had known that these issues weren't sorted out I would never have bought it ... I'm curious to know who has a freelander 2 and hasn't or never had problem linked to rear diff and/or transfer box ... |

I have had the problem with my previous one (and, yes, bought another!) but a friend of mine has an 09 reg GS with 60000 or so on the clock and no problem whatsoever! They must make some parts properly......by accident? 2011 SD4 HSE Auto

No, sorry, as it was all done under warranty but the dealer diagnosed on the Monday, tried a 'Level 1' repair of bearings, which failed, on Thursday, got warranty authorisation Friday morning and replaced diff, car returned Friday evening! 2011 SD4 HSE Auto
