In late 2005 I started conducting reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to provide reliability information on new models like the 2008 LR2 very quickly--if enough owners sign up to help out. The sooner enough owners of the 2008 get involved, the sooner others considering the car will have some reliability information to factor into their decision.

Starting to pick up, now 1/3 of the way to the minimum needed to get started with the LR2 / Freelander2. truedelta.com

A few more 2008s and it will be possible to start with that year. truedelta.com

A dozen owners of the 2008 are now signed up. The LR2 / Freelander2 will be included once three more owners sign up.

Got those three, so the LR2 and Freelander 2 will be in the survey next week.

Up to 18. Looking better for a result in August. But more participants still needed for this to happen.

Up to 22 now. At this level, every single participant really makes a difference.

Results for 120+ other models recently posted. I'm hoping to have an initial result for the LR2 in the next update, in August. But it's going to be tight.

I should know in a couple of weeks whether the LR2 will make it into the August update.

August is looking unlikely, but November is much more likely.

Actually, the LR2 / Freelander2 managed to squeak into the August results. The result will be asterisked for a marginal sample size, but it will be there.

That initial result: no LR2 owners have reported a repair yet. While no doubt some LR2s do require repairs, this suggests that the repair rate is not high.

Thank you for this feedback. I'm sorry you found the experience so frustrating. I would appreciate the opportunity to fix the problems you encountered and get you involved. The frustration on my end comes from people who report that they find the site frustrating (you're not alone in this), but don't provide enough detail for me to identify the problem and fix it.

Updated result in November. The sample size will be marginal, so additional participants would be very helpful.
