Hi All
My name is Steve and I have owned and loved LRs for the past 36 yrs . I have owned many Discoveries from a mark 1 ( 1989) right through to the current discovery 5. I also have owned classic ranger Rovers my first in 1988 , the P38 (1997) through to the current 3 litre Diesel . My better half loves her Freelander which we bought new in 2007.Sadly that car has now become beyond economical repair for us as the auto box finally died at 115000 miles .
We currently have an old Freelander 1 Auto which we use as a general runaround in our fields ( it’s an old workhorse carting horse feed ,hay etc . However we are now thinking of updating this for another Freelander 2 Auto . We want to buy used so the car is likely to have in excess of 100000 miles on it . Not sure if I should start a new thread for this however can anyone offer any advice how many miles a Freelander 2 auto box should last . Although ours failed at 115000 miles is this typical ? Baring in mind our car was 11 yrs old we considered it was reasonable as the car had spent most of its life towing horse trailers . Can anyone offer any advice please ? Thank you
