    Freelander 2 MPG?? (Thinking of switching from Disco2)

    Mine is 2012. Yes, it's that weird thing which cuts the engine if you stop at lights. You can switch it off but end of the day it reduces the road tax as it puts the car in another band. The TD4 engine does sound a bit agricultural when cold.

    Freelander 2 MPG?? (Thinking of switching from Disco2)

    Mine is manual with stop/start so the road tax is £255 and insurance is £247. It's a bog standard gs 150bhp.

    Freelander 2 MPG?? (Thinking of switching from Disco2)

    Mine with 99,000 miles on the clock does 44mpg on motorways at 60mph and 38 urban. Very comfy to drive with usual toys. One thing which improved the economy was, several weeks ago i filled up with go faster diesel and stuck four bottles of redex diesel additive in the tank. Sceptics will...

    Land Rover show Stoneleigh 24th November 2024

    Well, we went, we saw, we conquered and got wet....walking back to car. Severe monsoon all the way home. Was smaller than i envisaged but i guess its at tail end of year and traders decided not to attend. I bought a LR woolly hat and scarf cos i feel the cold terribly due to medication. Would...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Tyres (again)

    I got a set of four General grabber AT little while ago. Local tyre company did them for £540. Despite having an aggressive tread, they make little noise. Appear to work well in mud (i've tried) and good on road.

    Front windows fogging up, FL2 TD4

    Check the cabin filter too. My previous Ford Transit kept fogging up and found the cabin filter was the culprit (van is maintained by a company and were shaving money).

    Freelander 2 remap

    Im looking at getting my 2012 Freelander 2 remapped for more power. The car is a 95,000 mile standard 2.2td4 with fsh, 6 speed manual, 150bhp, runs fine, returns around 38mpg, no oil leaks, etc etc. The only car i've ever got remapped was a Calibra turbo 4x4 and that was done by Courtneys in...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    How odd. My old Calibra turbo was really noisy. In 6th gear, the noise was terrible but that was a full Skorpion ss exhaust inc decat.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    What does it sound like with a stainless exhaust? Im tinkering with an idea with replacing mine with ss but i know from my turbo nutter b*stard days, they're quite noisy. I dont mind a little bit of noise but not a howl.

    FL2 - MPG On Euro 5 Diesel Auto 2011 On Only

    Just for clarity, I live in east anglia where the roads are kinda flat.😄 I drove to the land Rover show few weeks ago and it was even better.

    FL2 - MPG On Euro 5 Diesel Auto 2011 On Only

    My FL2 TD4 with 95,000 miles, averages 38 mpg which i think is good considering she's not a light lady and about as aerodynamic as a brick.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Replaced all four tyres today. Despite still having 5mm tread, the Michelin cross climates were cracking and i hate changing wheels. Just for clarification-im jinxed and regularly suffer punctures, blow-outs etc in work van and personal car. I think my dad did something when i was born and gave...

    FL2 glovebox

    To be honest, i'd already plugged in a scanner into the obd and that came up with nothing so just thought i'd replace all the fuses. Off the top of my head, the ones which were visibly blown and not working were the horn and interior lights. I dont posses a multimeter which would have been the...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Yesterday, a friend fitted the set of mud flaps to my Freelander 2. Took three week for them to arrive from China and got held up in customs for several days but im happy with the look. They look ok and cheap at £29 all in.
