2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Firenze Red

This one, at the moment in front on the deal but I have paid for or done lots of extra maintenance over and above the basic servicing required so I may not be any better off in real terms yet so only time will tell . FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

Its LR extended warranty, phew.

Land Rover Assistance have been out, and, yes you guessed it, something about a oil pump in the Haldex failing. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

Why did I buy another Land Rover?

My dealer told me this. Best thing is to call out LR Assist and let them diagnose the fault at home, say that you are worried that it's ok to drive the vehicle. They then sort out a courtesy car. The problem for dealers is having enough courtesy cars hence the wait but if LR Assist are involved they get a car for you and also pressure the dealer to get the fault fixed asap as they are paying for the hire. I have done this at least four times. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

I called out Land Rover Assist (part of my warranty) and within 2 hours a technician arrived. Half an hour later after downloading the fault codes and communicating with the service techs, the diagnosis was an oil pump failure on the Haldex.

Arranged for me to take it to the stealers, and when I got there Land Rover assist had a brand new Discovery Sport HSE waiting for me, with only 9 miles on the clock as a loaner.

I'm not going to grumble at that for top notch service.
