Only 80K for me. 195K sure is a lot but good to hear there's been no major problems. The 240K service looks like a big one, but 240K between major services isn't too bad.
One of my customers has a Freelander 2 TD4 with nearly 195 000km on it. No major failures in that time.
I got to thinking after I serviced it last week that it must be up there as being one of the highest mileage Freelander 2s in Australia. How far have yours gone?

I think he might trade it in before then. The service I did recently was pretty much a 'B' service. Oil, air, fuel and pollen filters. I also got the trans oil changed (for only the second time).
What is involved with the 240k service?
at a guess..
download the user settings to a memory device. remove the oil and expansion tank caps.
wheel out the old F2 and wheel in a new one, replace the oil and expansion tank caps then upload the user settings.
well that's probably what you could easily believe they do if you pay for a dealer to do the service.

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
As much as Dave would like to bag the FL2 it's really hard to do. They have been around 6 years now with three recalls and no common major failures at all. In my experience they are fine to service at home too. I still really enjoy driving mine even after 5 years, I can't think of a vehicle in its class to replace it with.
240K you need to do the timing belt. I think at a LR dealer you'd be looking at over 2K. I also assume you'd need to start looking at suspension components too depending on its life.

This Freelander has now had it's first major failure.
Yesterday I fitted a second hand turbo after the original stated making whirring / whining noises. Something had failed internally, it was also down in power and throwing fault codes.
Still not bad going for 199 000km.
Could it have been the actuator arm?
The arm is definitely not seized, we could see it moving when giving the engine a rev. I just eyeballed it (sitting on the bench) and I can't see any corrosion. I think it is more likely an internal failure.
Mine's on 149766 kms, no dealer services since 36k. Drives great, I still love driving it. An awesome car.
I opened it up and looked at the variable vanes. No issues there, so I suspect bearing failure.
