    Freelander 2 in petrol any good?

    Thinking of ditching my i6 HSE and replacing it with a 3 door Evoque. But it's a heavily modified beast. Not for the shy type or those who don't like getting attention. It's also loud ! I've had it 8 years now and have enjoyed every minute. But I've had this itch to modify a 3 door Evoque and...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 Snorkel - Found one!

    Sorry for the late reply. I deleted the guy's details a good while ago as I had no intention of contacting him again. To be totally honest, what you get from him isn't the best. It's made of fibreglass and has various fit issues.The elbows and "vacuum cleaner" pipe just don't seem to fit at all...

    Looking at purchasing a 2008 Freelander 2

    First thing I do before every car purchase - check the old MOT's on the DVLA website. This gives an indicator as to how the vehicle has been treated. Lots of fails for stupid things like insufficient washer fluid, or indicators not working, headlight beam etc are no biggy. Things that should...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 Snorkel - Found one!

    Certain areas were cut out, straightened up, reduced or whatever needed to be done. Then just lots of filling and sanding using carbon fibre filler to add strength, followed by several layers of high build primer and finally a few coats of satin black. It took a while as I found that when one...

    Tyre Sizes

    Very old pic of my V6 in it's first incarnation with 205/80/16 Bronco Diamondbacks. I had 30mm spacers and I can tell you that the fronts rubbed the rear of the inner arches on full lock . Other people has said that 205/80/16's do not rub. Maybe it was the aggressive tread pattern which was very...

    Freelander 1 Driveshaft ABS ring.

    Can't be used as it will show an ABS error as it's incorrect for a later vehicle. Although will physically fit once the ring is removed, you may experience ABS problems so not worth messing with. I still have the new driveshaft complete with ring - FREE to collector if anyone wants it .

    Freelander 2 (LR2) What mileage is your Freelander 2 on?

    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...

    Freelander 1 Changing bodywork colour

    F1 parts are cheap enough now. I would suggest you source as many parts as you can in the desired colour of choice,doors, bonnet, wings , bumpers ,tailgate,preferably off of the same vehicle to avoid mis-matching shades then you only have to paint what's left of the car. You then have what you...

    After 7 years of ownership I finally sold my Td4. Having taken it for it's MOT last October it has remained at the garage slowly deteriorating. It had passed the MOT but with an advisory on the gearbox due to a leaky bearing . Garage sorted this apparently.However since then it had a nasty shake...

    Rumbling vibration mystery

    Yes mounts were tested and are fine. Been on for less than 2000 miles and were not cheap , around £80 each IIRC. Basically it was an immediate thing. It didn't appear over time or get worse. Just drove home from the MOT in October and as I accelerated suddenly got this noise and vibration - just...

    Rumbling vibration mystery

    I'll let my mechanic know as he's convinced it's steering related. You're right , I have an i6 F2. However this is my F1 Td4. I wrote the post at work on my tablet, for some reason wouldn't let me use the function. Every time I tried to put in F1, it just skipped to the text box. So just so...

    Rumbling vibration mystery

    Hi. I've had a rumbling noise and vibration for the last few months that I cannot get to the bottom of. It felt like a drive shaft failure so I replaced what I thought was the offending shaft to no avail. Anyway I've now changed all 4 drive shafts, the gearbox and swapped over the transfer box...

    Freelander 2 stolen 05/12 Gravesend

    Thought I'd share this with everyone on here. This is from the Freel2.com website but deserves a wider coverage, not least due to the way in which it was stolen. Thief apparently posed as a buyer..........owner was knocked down at the Lion roundabout in Gravesend and the car was taken. Last seen...
