Scotland 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Sumatra Black

I know one nutter who converted his auto MX5 into a manual, loads of work but it could be done, although the fancy electronics on the FL2 will make it a lot more difficult methinks. Surely much cheaper just to trade it for a different model?

2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Zermatt Silver

Mav71, a mate converted his old Range Rover Classic from manual to auto
a few years ago with no problems at all, but he had a big problem with insurance.

All the insurance data had that vehicle reg number as a manual and
not an auto.

He was telling me just this morning what a massive problem that turned out to be.

MAV,
I think you are takin this modin lark to far now, stop showing off & calm down before you do your wallet some serious damage Laughing
It may work out cheaper than trading up but this mod is Dead Money you've managed 3 years with a manual why do you need an auto Now?

Might be easier to buy an Auto and swap all your bits over on to that? then sell the manual Whistle

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

Had a reply back from LR themselves. Like everything it is possible but at a cost. But it;s the factory programming that is not easy to change.

So going to leave as is. Worth investigating though, as you never know they may have come back with 'yes it's easy! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
