I have been fortunate enough to own several Freelander 1 models before moving on to the Freelander 2 model, my latest machine is a 61 plate Freelander 2 hse, which has never caused a major roblem during my ownership of 10 years. yes there have been replacement Haldex units (3) but not a major job for my local garage. I am now confronted with a problem which I am unable to fathom, so I am joinng my first forum!
