There's no getting away from electronics on modern vehicles, that be true.... However, Land Rover don't seem to have the same reliability with electrics as most other cars. Maybe it's just my perception. All said and done I don't like the Japanese alternatives so I'll be hoping to find a...

Yes, it pays to know a little about electrics - and that's as much as I know.. Wouldn't touch a Freelander 1 with a barge pole having had two already. I was hopng the concensus might be that the Freelander 2 was the better option, but then anything with a Land Rover badge is going to hit your...

Yes,you make a good point. Maybe it's time to invest in a diagnostic tool gizmo :)

Yep, me too. 3-door and 5- door. However, despite a 'trouble free' 2000 mile trip to Blighty recently in the 1995 Tdi, I'm hoping to find something suitable (jap or Freelander) for the regular trps back to UK and Belgium.

Will be parting with this in the near future. Control technique will obviously be renewed before sale unless you are buying for the UK. Everything works as it should apart from a temperamental rear wiper! Hill descent good,traction control good, bodywork good, chassis v.good, silicon cooling...

Ahhhh. I was hoping to avoid an overload of electronics .... Same issue with the D2

Hi all, I'm in the process of committing a henous crime and looking at a Freelander 2 to replace our Disco 2. We've had two TD4s in the past, (one good, one shyte) as they performed very well over here in the winter, and are a much better drive on the autoroutes IMO. However, I loath to buy...

Thanks! I guess mine was already botched by the previous owner as it was well seized.. I'll order some bolts pronto.

Hi all, just bought a second hand set, front and rear, and a watts linkage. Bushes have gone and it's easier to replace the arms/watts linkage complete whilst I look to change the bushes. My question is: If you have a seven-seater can you buy the small bolt/bush for the radius arms that hold...

Just been over to London for a few days and popped in to see Paul at Discovery 2 Parts near Braintree. I've used him a few times now via phone with delivery to France - friendly Guy, very helpful and very reasonable price!

Managed to drift into a ditch with my Disco a couple of years ago and had to get the wife to tow me out with her Freelander - the shame of it :)

Pics, History, Mileage, work done, How long you owned it? Thanks.

No - Freelander is comprehensively better than all my Discoveries in the snow : lighter, better traction, better handling, better braking... All my opinion of course. Hate the damn things but they win hands down

Ha, ha, ha.... They may well be "handbags", but where I live they are considerably more efficient driving in the snow than a Discovery. Shame that everything else about them is shyte.

Yep, true...

I was think of polybushes but again, so many brands to choose from

Yes, at least genuine parts, thanks. I was wondering if polybush or other 'quality' brands were out there.

Hi all, just found my Radius arm bushes are shot on the D2 and the Watts linkage isn't looking to great either. Now have to use the old tub tdi 300 to get me back to Blighty this week. Anyone recommend agood brand/supplier for rellacements? I have a second hand set of arms and watts linkage to...

Had two Freelanders, now have three Discoveries... If you can bear it... Buy something Japanese and keep the weekends for Golf, Fishing or any other sctivity that doesn't involved getting covered in ****e, grease and rust-dust ;)

Yep, done that and one is a bit dodgy - will get to see for sure when I get it up on a lift. Weird excessive tyre wear though...?
