So, completely out of the blue this afternoon my folks phoned me and asked if I could pop over and meet them at our local LR dealer as my mum's car was in getting a software update.

Arrive wondering what they need, to find them standing my a 69 plate Disco Sport SE with 4k on the clock. Offered it as a Christmas present...

Kinda hard to say no to that one, so cleaning up my FL2 and off it goes to WBAC.

So, thank you all for all the help over the years. I've loved the help and chat on here. And most of all I've loved my Freelander 2. But it's 10 now so time to give it a rest. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

Would your parents like to adopt me?  Steve

Good luck

Seems some of us with DS still lurking around here, the forum is friendly and hopefully we can still help those new to aFL2 who might make the same mistakes that we did early days.
Enjoy the DS - mines a 68 plate and much better than the earlier model- don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the first one and it was reliable once the software was stable, but this is just better Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

My new Defender 90 is due for delivery in March, your parents wouldn’t happen to be around Pentland Dundee about then?  21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Well they can't take it with them! It took me 6 years to buy a new car as I was still happy with an 18 year old car when I finally replaced it.

Enjoy your new car. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
