Afternoon, This morning on my way into work I was welcomed with the attach warning light on my dash. I have a FL2 63 Plate 2.2 SD4 with 112,000 miles on the clock purchased in March. I’ve had no issues up until now (if this is an issue). Can anyone shine any light on this at all? Do I...

Thanks for the response Nodge. I have requested the service history as it states in the advertisement it had a good history so I can delve a bit deeper into what's been done. Will a gearbox fluid change resolve the issue of shuddering if it were to be done?

Afternoon, I'm in the market to purchase a FL2 & I went to test drive a 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Commandshift Automatic. It's a 62 plate with facelift interior, leather seats etc. I took it on a 20 minute test drive down a nearby dual carriageway & at first it seemed ok however I experienced a...

Hmmmni suspected as much. I’d seen one locally & my father mentioned about it being more suited to the female population. Said when I see one in the road, have a look at the gender behind the wheel. Despite a car being suited for both genders, it’s surprising how this can put a buyer off. I also...

so I haven’t been to test the auto yet. Purely because it’s a 14 plate so it wouldn’t be of the age that I’d be buying so it doesn’t make sense to test a car of an age that I won’t be purchasing. Just to throw a spanner in the works, what are your thoughts on the Evoque? I’ve seen a few that...

Can I ask, what’s a DMF? Also re the fluid, the purpose of this is? Forgive me, not familiar with an auto.

Certainly sounds like they’re good for at least the next 10 years. Reading through that list, I started to dread however as you said, not all of them have these issues. Some of them very little. there’s a FL2 XS 2011 Auto locally that I’m going to test at the weekend. Get the feel for it. The...

I just did a quote on WeBuyAnyCar online & came back with £1100. Which isn’t enough in my eyes. Maybe private selling is the way. But it’s the time & hassle. It’s admirable that you’ve been able to fix these mechanical issue’s yourself. This would be beyond my capabilities. My car care goes as...

Evening Lord H, That’s encouraging to hear. I really haven’t heard that much bad feedback on the FL2 so far, on either manual or auto. So what’s the difference between the TD4 & SD4? Is it the bhp? WBAC gave me a quote of £1100. I thought that was an insult if I’m honest. Will dealers offer...

Hello Kev, Thanks for your reply. I can live with a little less mpg. There would be no dual mass flywheel or clutch that need replacing. Is there anything that I would need to look out for on an auto? Re changing gears if needed, is this done via paddles on the steering wheel? Can I ask...

Thanks Nodge. Re selling privately, I’d thought about this but then it’s just the whole timing thing, I need to make sure I’ve got a replacement lined up so I’m not without transport. Could I ask what model you have? And how you find driving it? Have you had any issues with it at all? Why...

Hello, After 8 years of owning my FL1 TD4 06 I’m finally looking to PX for the FL2. I’ve done a fair bit of research so far, looking at models, what’s the entry level level, what’s top spec etc. I’ve even got a Freelander 1&2 book (bought for Christmas) to give me an idea of the history &...

Nodge, I wouldn't have the access to find out if the pulley was worn so I've just got to go with it in that instance. I know it's within the same area as the thermostat housing but I just can't see how the leak would affect the pulley. I guess it's just a bit of "it is what it is" & I won't...

Good Afternoon, I have had a coolant leak on my FL1 TD4 06 for a while now, maybe 3-4 months & I've just been managing it by topping up when required. I recently found a garage were Land Rover specialists so 3 weeks ago I decided to book it in to be fixed. TODAY was that day. I knew of these...

Hello, Anyone experienced rattling from the back boot compartment or rear panels? Not sure where it's located & it doesn't do any harm but it's bloody annoying. I've had the side interior panels off while searching for the cause of the "fish tank" & I believe there were formerly insulation on...

Hello, Need a bit of advice. I've been to my local garage about a blowing noise when the turbo kicks in in the lower gears mainly two & three, sometimes fourth & I hear AND feel a vibration over the whistle of the turbo when it kicks in. Garage have advised (not Land Rover specialists) that it...

Thanks Nodge. The yellow plug (belt pre-tensioner) us that a b*stard to unplug or? Does it effect the ecu or anything like that?

Thanks for the input guys. I've managed to find a second hand seat, only one of my kind on Ebay. Actually being delivered tomorrow. Is replacing an easy task? Is there a connector for the heated seat? Like plug and play?

Hello, I have a 2006 TD4 2.0 Freelander with Alcantara heated seats. The passengers heated seat working fine no problems. Driver seat had a lot of wear & tear, side cushion has a tear in, however the heated seat doesn't work. Had it in the garage on Thursday & was advised that it was the mat...

Well I originally order the 8019 as it was best head unit 19/20 but after 3 weeks it was still out of stock so they upgraded me. £600 unit for £425! I guess the connection from my old one will be of similar type so could I just use these? I'd like to think im competent enough but just would like...
