Hi All.
Not posted on Piston Heads for a long long time, working away and other things got in the way, well I am back in the UK, and I have recently bought myself a Land Rover Freelander 2. HSE. Diesel Auto. not had one before so its a completely a new beastie to me, but i like it, and she runs smooth enough, she should pull my caravan well. how many other members have the same motor? I am just waiting for my new plates to put on her now.

Love these. Not driven an auto, but test drove a manual and it was fantastic to drive, lovely and smooth. Only downside is the slightly small boot! Should be a lot more reliable and the usual land rover reputation suggests too

A colleague of mine bought a 2008 model about 6 years ago with 130k on the clock and has had 6 years and 120k of remarkably trouble free motoring from it. He was getting an EML light and trouble starting it for a while but a couple of tanks of expensive Shell diesel sorted that out remarkably enough. Thinking back I don't remember ever hearing or reading any tales of woe from owners about these.

High Ford content, both the platform and the drive train, whichis probably why they seem to be the best built and most reliable LR product ever?
