I have a 2010 Freelander 2. I love it and want to keep it running as long as possible. I dread the day It dies!
Its on more than 213k at the moment: i bought it on 25k at 2 years old. Most of it is motorway miles but it is also used fod towing 1-2 per week.
Always serviced regularly and had all belts changed at 150k as recommended.
Current problems;
failure of front wipers (motor)-fixed by LR main dealer for a small fortune as its November and was snookered without them.
Day after the front wipers were fixed the rear wiper motor has gone and since landrover faffed about with the front one the bonnet sensor is reading bonnet open even when its not!
Also front track rod end gone so needs done plus tracking and 2 new tyres its booked into my friendly non extortionate garage next week
I have ordered a new motor for rear wiper and a new bonnet catch/sensor and am hoping to fix these myself when theu show up! Wish me luck!
Wow, and welcome to the forum.
At 213k miles (not km, I assume) you're pushing the boundaries and the rest of us will be interested in what goes wrong next. Nothing you've listed is unexpected, given your mileage (IMHO). Is yours manual or auto, does it burn any oil, have you had the haldex & diff serviced?
PS. My 57 plate FL is now >190k miles.
