133,000 when bought last year. Now this may have put others off buying the vehicle - being a petrol i6. However I read the entire advert which showed that at 114,000 Land Rover fitted a brand new engine and drivetrain to the vehicle. I ended up with a real bargain. All the trouble areas people worry about past the 100,000 mile mark are all done and replaced by Land Rover with brand new parts. I also have all the LR main dealer receipts to prove the above.
Currently showing 136,000.
 
This could be the kiss of death, but my FL2 is the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Other than things you can expect to wear out, like batteries, shocks, tyres, brakes and bushes, the only problems have been:-
  • Rear wiper failure. (Given the design, perhaps that can be considered ‘expected’)
  • Intermittent door locking failure leading to perimeter alarm going off. Annoying and expensive to fix, so I lock the affected door manually.
  • Intermittent bonnet open alarm, ditto. Frigged out.
  • Duff thermostat. Replaced it myself.
  • Rear diff oil seal weep. Garage job, fixed.
  • Broken spring in gear knob. Something I have lived with for years without knowing.
  • Filled up with petrol twice (not me!). Drained tank, replaced filters, filled up with diesel and no harm done.
  • Getting stuck behind other vehicles who thought they could get through the mud, flood, snow or ice.

how much did it cost to fix the rear wiper failure? did you just get the rear wiper motor?
 
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!
