    Pre Facelift FL2 Vs Facelift FL2

    Yeah actually I hadn’t thought of that, the one I’ve currently got is late 2007, I bought it early 2018 so I got lumbered for the 10 year service in that too, I’ll definitely check the service history but my guessing is they wouldn’t have done it 2 years early so I’ll get landed again

    Pre Facelift FL2 Vs Facelift FL2

    Thanks for that, as we know from one of my previous posts about programming in a six CD disc changing I definitely can’t do the electronics my self and evidently have had a problem finding people who can, not sure it’s totally going to put me off though, what’s your opinion of manual over Auto...

    Pre Facelift FL2 Vs Facelift FL2

    Did I mention mine is Narvik Black and the one I’m looking at is White, I’ve got to say it, I’m so sick f cleaning it, it takes so much effort, my white transit connect van takes a quarter of the time to clean, the only thing I am worried about apart from having a DPF is the electronic hand...

    Pre Facelift FL2 Vs Facelift FL2

    Hi all, got a general opinion question for everyone, I currently have a late 2007 FL2 Xs and have seen advertised locally a 2013 FL2 I really like the look of, also an XS, i know all the failure points of the pre facelift FL2 but I’m lead to believe most of these got resolved when they brought...

    Changing 1 CD Player To 6 CD

    I think now it’s become more of a challenge than anything else, like someone pointing to the top of a mountain and saying that’s unclimbable, I dont want to admit defeat plus I’ve bought the unit now and it stares at me every time I walk in the garage

    Changing 1 CD Player To 6 CD

    So we generally go to Inverness 2-3 times a year but because of Covid we’re now not planning anything until next July, it’s not off the table tho, if it means waiting that’s fine, do you know what part of Scotland he’s in, I think I’ll reach out to the freel2 forum, it’s worth a shot, with...

    Changing 1 CD Player To 6 CD

    I think I might’ve found a gap in the market because this becoming so much harder than I’d ever imagined, literally no one is getting back to me, I’ll find someone eventually, I wonder if it’s worth advertising on here if someone has the ability, there must be someone on this site surely

    Changing 1 CD Player To 6 CD

    Well I’ve really started something lol, but I tend to agree with everything nodge has said, occasionally my wife uses her iPhone plugged in to the AUX port and it’s definitely loses something off the top and bottom when pitted against CDs, the Alpine system when set up to how you like it will...

    Changing 1 CD Player To 6 CD

    I know what you’re saying but I’d then have to buy a laptop I’d never use plus I’d have to go through the best part of 1000 CDs, the way I do it is I have a CD wallet and just rotate my car stock every month, works for me

    Changing 1 CD Player To 6 CD

    Hahahaha yeah I’ve had that a lot, I’m a dinosaur and still love all my CDs from the 90s, we do a lot of holidaying in the highlands and the FM signal is hit and miss, the dab signal doesn’t exist so we end up going through countless CDs, I have no desire to buy again all my music to put on an...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Changing 1CD Head Unit To 6CD Unit

    So much knowledge and much needed, thanks for all that, I did actually find a local specialist who advertise SDD programming so I emailed them immediately and they came back with yes we have all the equipment but none of our technicians are yet trained and we now have no future plans to send...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Changing 1CD Head Unit To 6CD Unit

    That’s all quite positive, this current FL2 is definitely a keeper, after I saw your first post I googled SDD and a YouTube video came up which I watched and I could see from one of the drop down menus it did say Audio System, it turns out the YouTube video was produced by a small company who...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Changing 1CD Head Unit To 6CD Unit

    Great reply thanks for that, Somehow I knew you’d know nodge, so firstly what you’re saying is it can be done which is a relief because I spent £70 on a refurbished unit which I was afraid would end up becoming more garage clutter, what’s my best way would you say of finding someone with access...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Changing 1CD Head Unit To 6CD Unit

    Hi All, I have a pre facelift Freelander 2 with the Alpine Sound System, I decided to remove the existing head unit which only has the 1 CD function and replace it with the 6 CD unit which is identical in every way except the amount of CDs you can feed in, all connections on back match, fibre...

    Land Rover Parts Codes

    You’re all geniuses, no amount of me searching in the world would have found that new part number, Thankyou very much for that and I now have a way of finding future part numbers so really appreciate the information, you are right though the price is on the strong side, I might try to find the...

    Land Rover Parts Codes

    Hahahaha it’s a part I’ve been looking for for ages, it basically fits in the early Freelander 2 centre console rear cubby hole, some people call it an ashtray, it basically acts as a lid for the square cubby hole and has a roller shutter type action, it’s shown directly under the blue...

    Land Rover Parts Codes

    Hi all, I don’t know if other people have the same trouble as me but I find Land Rover Parts codes really frustrating, there seems to be a sort of in house coding system and then a retail coding system, quite often you’ll find an exploded diagram with the part you’re looking for but the code...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Diesel Smell From Aircon

    I’d have to go back through the list of bits they charged me for, I do remember there being a few bits and pieces to do with the injectors, to be fair the garage have got back to me now and they want it straight back in, they did suggest when they’ve had it before it’s been a cracked inlet...
