Hello everyone,
I live in New Brunswick on the Atlantic coast of Canada. I'm originally from the UK and have driven Land Rovers and a Range Rover for my employers in the distant past in the Western Isles.
I'm about, I think, to buy a 2013 LR2 with 6-speed auto. The same as a Freelander 2 except there is no engine option they all come with the 2.0L turbo Eco boost (Ford). For years I've looked for a Defender (they have to be 15 years old to import into Canada) but they're all too expensive, high mileage etc. Lots of them are the ones built for the Italian police, so they have the really thirsty petrol engines.
Anyway, I can just about afford a 2013 LR2/FL2 HSE Lux with 30,000 miles (50,000 Kms) and I have been trying to find out if the majority of the problems that plagued the Freelander and the Freelander 2 up to 2012 have been resolved with the 2013 model year? I've noticed a dozen Technical Service Bulletins and one recall (air bags).
I would be very grateful for any feedback from any 2013 Freelander 2 owners on the reliability of their vehicles.
Thanks,
Andrew~
