I don't think the FL2 is particularly nickable. Don't confuse with the FL1, which had a very vulnerable spare wheel (my wheel was nicked in S London, even though it had locking nuts). 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.

Well just trawled through your thread and glad you got sorted.
But remember 'forum rules' state you got to post a couple of pics when it's finally in your hands.

Happy Freelanding.  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Well the Freelander is now at home and pictures will in due course be posted.
I'm in SE London and wondered if there was anyone in this neck of the woods who knew of a reputable independent garage? I've always entrusted servicing of the Forester to a guy around the corner but thinking I might be better seeking out a LR specialist.
There is a LR dealership about 4 miles away but am thinking an independent would be cheaper?
There's no one local coming up on google search
