Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and the Land Rover world. I recently bought a Freelander 2 TD4 (2009) here in Nicosia, Cyprus, and I'm loving it so far.

That said, our climate here is very hot and dry most of the year, and I’d appreciate any advice on maintaining the Freelander in such conditions. Things like:

What fluids or parts tend to suffer in hot climates?

Any particular checks I should do more often (cooling system, hoses, AC)?

Are there any mods or tweaks you'd recommend for reliability or comfort in the heat?

I’m not doing hardcore off-roading, but I do drive on mountain roads and dusty tracks now and then.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions — really appreciate the wisdom on here!
