I’ve been driving one just like yours in the states for 13 years. It’s a 2008. I love it!!! 220k miles and still going. Honestly never expected it to last this long. I hope yours hangs in there as well! Fun video!!!
What always amazes me is that (some) people buy a land rover, take it up the muddiest tracks they can find, then moan like hell when the thing breaks down or rusts away in front of them. The whole point of "off road" capability is it's there should you ever need it, not that it has to be taken up the side of a mountain just because it can.
If you really must go playing around in mud, take a 200 quid diesel corsa and when it finally gives up the ghost, buy another, and stop ruining perfectly good oldish land rovers which will last forever with a bit of kindness.
You can turn off the mirror dip, cycle through the trip screen on the instrument cluster using the button on the end of the indicator stalk, then use the seek buttons to go through the different options
Ahh I didn’t know that! Thank you!
What’s the mirror dip?
@@1974Slipper That question qualifies you to test cars on RUclips. 🤣
None of the things you dislike are dislike me though. They’re all brilliant. The mirror drops are the best thing about it. 😅
I’ve had mine for 6.5 years now. Never thought I’d have a car for more than 2-3 but love it. It’s been brilliant. 32 mpg on average. 38 max on a run in my opinion. Corners are a nightmare though. 😢
I fitted Evoque wheels to mine a couple of years ago……they have a 10mm greater offset so they fill the arches better giving the car a visually better stance and cos of the 20mm wider track corner handling is also improved.
I love my FL2.. Great practical car. Not sure about your mpg my manual XS does 45 mpg no problem 50 on a run.
Nice! Yeah mine averages 33mpg most of the time
You can just program the mirrors what they should do or shouldn't do. No worries if you don't like the flip down when reversing.
A daily... stuff that. Use a bicycle and go off-roading on the Freelander.
Cheers.
Love the Clarkson style. We miss such a character.
You’ve convinced me.
My parents had one up until a week ago. I was 8/9 when the wheel bearings had to be replaced, then the reversing sensors packed up, then the fuel gauge stopped working, then the heated seats stopped working and the clutch randomly failed on a motorway slip road. It was very reliable indeed.
This guy lost me when saying why would you want traction settings there.....
Erm because you might want to go off road or in the snow etc.
I meant for road use. How often do people go off-road or it to snow enough to use it in the UK…
@@CarCultureClub Then why buy a 4x4. Buy a van or estate car etc. People like myself who own a 4x4 buy them for purpose not as a Chelsea Tractor.
I totally agree with you, a 4x4 is definitely more of a statement symbol than anything else to most people. However, I myself have taken it off-roading in the past and hopefully again in the future
Easiest car to park. Ever.
I love mine, however I have recently heard a loud spooling from the turbo, any ideas what this could be or is it normal?
Potentially a hole in the turbo pipe etc, would definitely get it checked out by a mechanic
Thank you for the reply, I have it booked in for next week, there is also a heavy oil leak
@brendanmoane8018 good idea! I’m not mechanic myself so I couldn’t tell you the problem but I’m only guessing. Hope you get it sorted :)
Clarkson
What's with the Fake Clarkson presentation lol
that's 4 minutes of my life I'll
Never get back. If you buy a car to get from a to b then not much point reviewing it whilst trying to be top gear presenters,
What’s ‘Top Gear’?
Possibly the most pointless, worthless review, not just of this particular car, but of any vehicle, I've ever come across. 3 min 56 sec wasted out of my life.
Thanks for watching the video and helping our ad revenue out. Much appreciated 😊
You also wasted your time commenting. Good job, matey 😂
