Is it a 4.2 or a 5Ltr ?

[Jonny 4200GT]

Looking at trading in the wife's 58 plate Freelander 2 on a Range Rover Sport through an established car trader.

The seller has listed the Sport as a 4.2, however, when I go to get an insurance quote it comes up as a 5ltr and when I did a dummy listing through ebay, it also said it was a 5ltr ?

The car was apparently used in Switzerland 4 months a year and although an 06 car was first registered in the UK in July 2009.

The seller says it hasn't had an engine change and is definitely a 4.2, is this a case of the DVLA miss registering it when it was imported ? It's a right hand drive model and on UK plates.

Any advice gratefully received !

Cheers

Happens a lot with insurance quotes online, my old Volvo they were sure was only a 2.0 eBay had the same information too. You can run it through askmid and see if that says it's a 4.2

When we're ordering spares Land Rover can usually look up the reg and tell which parts we need from that so maybe call and ask for confirmation

The 5.0 only arrived in 2009, so it isn't one of them if an'06.

It's a 4.2

Out of interest, which engine did you want it to be? 5.0 I'm guessing.

The 4.2 is fantastic, I have it in the 4.2 FFRR. Go for it!
