    Freelander 2 (LR2) Gearbox / drive issue

    What I don't understand is how a car manufacture can give such huge service intervals to the main drive components. The Haldex for example isn't even mentioned as a service requirement from what I can see. 10 years or 120K for Oil change in gearbox. And yet people have so many problems when they...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Gearbox / drive issue

    That makes a lot of sense when you process it. But I suppose that's why there seems to be so many people having gearbox issues as they are following the schedule. So what other things are worth checking over, what about diffs and transfer boxes and the turbo anything that's a common issue on...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Gearbox / drive issue

    As you trust manufacturers to be aware of the best way to look after the major components you trust them....to build their schedule for each model to match for best practice... The learning curve of all things land Rover is steep... It also makes me wonder about other things as timing belt is...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Gearbox / drive issue

    Hi folks

    I thought I could use replacement heat elements to add to the seat back and squab and then wire in switches to the backend of the centre consoul around the auto gear box shifter etc as there's power to the cigarette socket at the rear end of that
