I have had the pleasure of owning the LR Free lander 2 HSE for last 4 years. Can unequivocally say that it’s a pleasure to take on my highway drives with family and luggage . More than capable of taking any off road punishment you might throw it’s way. The terrain response system is truly magical. Once had the right reer tyre skid (due to my oversight) and dangle over a bridge. To make matters worse the wheel was stuck over a huge wet water pipe. I thought I was a goner. Got off inspected the situation. Simply engaged the terrain response system to grass and snow as that mimicked the slippery situation I was facing with green moss making the huge water pipe very slippery over which my right tire was dangling and stuck. The LR simply transferred power and traction to the remaining three tires and eased over the huge water pipe obstacle with no fuss whatsoever. Can say that from that day onwards I became a true LR fan for life.
Kabir Kakkar scary, good job you were in a Landy
Didn't realise until now that this vehicle obviously lived near me, as one of the services was in Corby :D
Really great review, very genuine.
Paul Davies thank you, i really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment
Great opinion👏👏👏 Thanx👍
Welcome 😊
Hello Barrie,
I found another Freelander 2 HSE 150hp from 2013 with a full service history, from 11.2023 to 12.2023 all done in Land Rover, the car has 250.000km on the clock, it drives smooth, all good but I don’t know if the LR oil change intervals include rear differential and haldex unit change.
Cheers,
Stefan
Love my XS SD4. The 190 bhp engine really hustles the car along - surprisingly quick and can be apparently chipped up to 242 bhp!!!
This was awesome. I learned so much about the car and have decided to buy the same model here in Australia
its a really good car, but I thought you Aussies had a saying "if you want to go into the outback take a landrover if you want to come out again take a landcruiser :-) Enjoy and thanks for watching !
@@BarrieCrampton Haha that's a good saying. It's probably true considering the outback can consist of some intense muddy off roading.. But I don't need to do heavy off roading and the land rover provides the good looks, comfort and amazing interior that i need. Plus I've put a deposit down on a 2013 turbo petrol version which only cost $20,000 Australian dollars. Now thats a bargain.. Can't get a decent land rover for that price. Keep making the awesome videos by the way 😊😀
@@Wanderer1 Thank you,
So how was it you still liking it
nice video to watch about a car I love so much.... Funny to see that you have people in the UK as well whom does not use their car's bluetooth handsfree....
Here is SA most people just answer their phones and continue driving without using handsfree...🤣
yes our laws are a bit strange, you get fined more for using your mobile than you do for carrying and threatening people with a machete
The key goes in the slot on the dash right hand side of the steering wheel
I'm on my second Freelander SD4 and never got anywhere near the mpg claimed
But I love it it's like a mini Range Rover it is a genuine off roader , I did the Eastnor Castle testing track and it goes where a defender goes just slower
I now have a Metropolis model and trust me it has more kit than the one your in I just love it
@David Cutters: I am in the process of buying one. Can I assume that your experience with MPG could be a reflection on the type of driving you do, line the Eastnor Castle testing track? I was planning on just keeping it on the road instead of off road.
I managed to get around 70mpg over time, out of my BMW 320 Diesel Sport, but averaging 60 MPG.
Cold and around town nothing is economical usually, higher revs, lower gears, but at 2,000 RPM and below in the cruise I was hoping to eek out a few more MPG than those advertised, by gentle driving. Already it's supposed to do 48mpg and that's better than an Astra petrol automatic which averages 43.3 - so I will be aiming for 49 51+ MPG. Fingers crossed.
Not on this model. The key slot is in the lower spec models and has a different style key. The one barrie was driving has the more modern "range rover" style key and doesn't have a slot. Which is also better as with that key you can change the battery easily unlike the other key where you need to unsolder it and resolder the new one.
@@a320nick most who say they don't get the mpg tend to have a heavy right foot. As the mpg stated is easily achievable. The only other factor is the area you live and what the terrain is like as if it's a hilly area then your mpg may suffer then also but in general it should be fine. I did a long test drive the other day in the one I've just bought and it's the top spec metropolis model. I reset the mpg monitor and did a mix of dual carriageways and town roads on pretty flat terrain and I got back and had a mpg of 39.8 mpg and I did boot it once to make sure it was responsive. So it is achievable if you keep the lead out of your foot.
Great salesman, I want that car , a new convert.
Great Cars, thanks for watching
11:57 new lesson learned! Hehehe.
Good all round medium car. The sd4 190bhp must shift as the td4 is plenty at 161 bhp plus sports mode.
He said he was taking me for a drive. Must be major ,cause I'm in the flaming house.😂😂😂
Fair play though. Best way to sell a car by far.😉
well i think it is the best way to sell a car anyway 😎
Had my free Lander 2. now 2 years just about to have a cam chain changed and water pump changed. it's recommended after 10 years garage charge me £288 all in which I find quite reasonable
Whats it like on the motorway? Some reviews claim its noisy due to its slab shape ( lots of wind noise)
no its not too bad, however your choice of tyres does make a difference, its a lot noisier if you go for ditchfinders rather than a premium brand like Pirelli
Do they come with a reversing camera on the higher trim models
some do have reversing cameras,
HSE Lux or Metropolis do that’s the highest spec. The Metropolis is basically the HSE Lux just the last of the top spec FL2’s. My advice is go for either nothing less & try & get the 2013 onwards not sure why this 62 plate has the latest interior maybe some were done early but again go for the same dash as this main differences are the centre of the dash with the dials. I have a 2013 absolutely love it & plan to keep it until I retire in 16 years !
Nice sound of the engine at the beginning.
I think that is Royal Blue.
Nice cameras set up.
Good all round video. Very good, very impressive.
Thank you very much!
ive nnever really understood the left hand (arm) arm rest being right under your arm when you have to stretch out to the door to rest your roght arm.
no, it does make you drive lobsided
FYI... There is a recess specifically to hold the key. You can see it to the right of the steering wheel
PS great review
thanks and thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, but if theres a recess for it then you may as well just have an ignition lock to put the key in, in my humble opinion keyless ignitions just make the cars easier to steal
That's not for a key as I've tried and it is too big the key just falls out. I think it's more designed for a few coins as I tried and it keeps supermarket trolley tokens nicely in there.
@@russjam121 when i picked my car up new from the dealership and had the handover one of the very first things pointed out was this recess specifically for the key fob. My fob fits perfectly.....perhaps you have a "non LR" replacement key?
Nice car and good review indeed, but I would have appreciated if some good off-roading was also done.
it tends to put prospective buyers off if they see you rallying off road in the car you are trying to sell 😎
@@BarrieCrampton I totally agree, especially as I am on the verge of buying one.
Capitol centre 🥳
What about reliability.?
No problems! Great cars
I think he means that you never know if it's going to break down. That's the feeling you get when you get in a land rover .
that's not a feeling i get, feels like you could keep going for ever, only yesterday I was asked to value a car with 245,000 miles on and still going strong, if they were unreliable we wouldn't sell them
No. Some of the land rovers have common expensive issues. granted. However the Freelander 2 is different. If the maintenance is kept up together then these cars are bulletproof. I've done extensive research when looking for a land rover product in owners forums and various other sites and independent reviewers and the Freelander 2 is the best. Even Most independent land rover specialists always say if you want pretty much trouble free motoring and a car that could easily do 200-300 k miles and still be going strong then the freelander 2 is that car as it's a car they don't see too often (apart from routine maintenance jobs).
Why doesn’t this model have automatic trunk open ? That would make so much better
was probably an extra cost option
@@BarrieCrampton that feature comes in handy when your hands are full and can just click to open! Seems like this grade of “excellence” should come with the basic package 🤷🏾♀️
It's a optional extra because if it's not important to the person who spec'd the car then it's just another electrical thing to go wrong. Nice and simple manual tailgate with no electronic struts to fail and just simpler gas struts that can be replaced for under £30. Perfect 👍
Im with you, land rover loosing its tradition with the rounder designs.. the boxy styling is always evergreen and have a bigger footprint emotionally..
i love my fl2 td4 gs 2011, had it sinse new my only real fault I have had with it is vage handling
we do really well with them, i suppose the handling is a trade off for being able to go over bumps that would crush your spine in most other cars
@@BarrieCrampton yes I know what you mean tried different tyres over time wheel aliment checked but never seems to fully cure it, other wise I love it, plan to keep it for as long as I can, nothing else I see seems to grab my attension which would make me change.
180 Miles per hour!!!
wouldnt like to be in it when its going that fast 😎
No 118 not 180.
You never say how much?
Russell Rayner thats because they usually sell very quickly so it becomes irrelevant very quickly, there is a link to our website in the video so that you can see what we have in stock at any given time, hope that explains why
@@BarrieCrampton thank you. Great videos love watching them.
Russell Rayner thank you and thanks for watching
Right on. Land Rover has become too rounded. Losing it's identify.
Celsea tarctor :(
