    Free lander 2 reliability issues?

    Hi all, thanks for allowing me to join. I have read and seen the videos about the inherent unreliability of the Land Rover/Range Rover family, but have been considering a Freelander 2 as my next car. Oddly, none of the videos mention the F2, I don’t believe it will be immune from defects at 9-10...

    Free lander 2 Key fob problems

    I bought a 2008 Freelander 2 HSE a couple of weeks ago which came with 2 key fobs-a main one and a spare (I assume it has been rarely used and sat in a drawer given it is far less worn). When trying to lock/unlock the car using the main fob, I need to be next to the window and certainly no...

    Wiring Loom / Electrical System

    Can anyone tell me if the wiring on a Freelander 2 is Plug & Play? What I mean is, if I want to install a Land Rover spec sat-nav system in the centre console or rear entertainment system, will the existing wiring loom have connection points in the right places? Thanks, David
