Updated reliability stats this month.

As always, the more owners participate, the better the information we can provide to everyone.

Vehicle reliability, fuel economy, and price comparison information

The problem with this site is that the data it gathers is statistically invalid and misleading. Add to it by all means but don't rely on it for a true status as to the reliability of any vehicle they mention. It's fundamentally flawed from the outset.

Looks like a nice little earner though!!!!!

We've updated the results for the LR2 to include owner experiences through September 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since April until the summer or even fall of next year.

With a repair frequency of 83 repairs per 100 cars per year, the 2008 LR2 is about average. Much lower repair frequency than the 2005-2006 LR3 (no stat for newer years yet).

We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants, we could provide more precise results and cover all model years.

Doh! It is getting worse! Stop reporting this stuff  1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.

I created an account in 2009 and never updated it again. which I presume more people do.

What is reliability? I fixed the mesh on my sunroof. Is this an incident worth taking in account?
What do you do with an accident? Any fixes afterwards can or cannot be related to it.
People who go off-road often, what do you do with that? Car gets more strain then others...

Very difficult to evaluate only simple data.
That's why I never updated my car again. couldn't be bothered.

If you want an objective parameter, look at resale value and amount of 2nd hand offers. The more expensive and rare the better.

Based on that the FL2 looks average to me.
Take in account the fact that LR may have a premium status (= less buyers) and still suffers an somewhat ambiuous reliability reputation the FL2 doesn't seem to be a bad car.
If I consider my own car, except from some nitpicking on my part (as the car is under warranty), I evaluate te FL2 as good.

Only issue is that the dealers are to professional, which means they don't ever feel guilty and want to show a good will gesture. Everything seems to come at a price. Which makes it somewhat of in inpersonal experience.
It also means thet apparently the mechanics are not invested into the business and just do their job.

for example: Have to go back for the 4th time becouse they cannot seem to get my wipers aligned properly. A smaller dealer would make sure the 2nd time they are. This annoys me somewhat.

smaller dealers are most of the time mechanics themselves so personel can't blow up smoke up their ass.

Why would you want to blow smoke up a four legged animal

In my opinion the problem with surveys such as this as they attract the negative comments but the majority who have positive views don't bother to respond.
Having owned 2 Freelander 2's and been happy with both, I haven't bothered to add my views to this survey nor do I intend to. My experience of the vehicles and those views of other owners i meet on a regular basis do not reflect the findings of this survey.

My toughts exactly.

very true, when i thought about doing it when i had FL2.1 which was quite problematic i thought it would take to long

Now I have FL2.2 which is running fine and dandy i can't be bothered  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
