    Small Oil leak query?

    Thanks for that mate, I'm not 100% sure where it is myself the mechanic noticed it before the service but it could be this area you've shown. I'll take a look under the bonnet after work and see if I can see any residue in that area, he mentioned EGR or possible Rocker Cover but if its just a...

    Small Oil leak query?

    Before the service he noticed it, it's very minor but he said to figure out where it's coming from he'd need to clean off all residue and monitor it over a short period. Just wondered what are the main causes of oil leaks in that area, EGR, Rocker Cover, I know chasing down these tiny leaks can...

    Small Oil leak query?

    Hi all took my new "to me" Freelander 2 in today for its big 10 year/150k mile service. Had all filters and oils replaced including Haldex, PTU and gearbox oil etc. The specialist gave the car a thorough inspection and was very impressed with the condition and gave it a clean bill of health...

    Thanks for the reply mate, and yes they do look the buisness especially in HSE, HST spec. Much prefer the shape and side profile compared to the newer disco sport

    Thanks for the tip mate, I've had a little browse through the Freelander 2 section and can't find many threads about reliability horror stories etc, it seems they are fairly reliable, which is great to hear. You always hear about the Land Rover horror stories mostly from people who have never...

    Hi all, I'm new here looking at buying an auto Freelander 2 as my new family car. Have a budget of around £10k. Was wondering if you guys could point out common faults to look for upon inspection. Heard rear diff is one of the more common faults. Ideally would love an HSE/T model as I think...
