"I should have bought a Jeep"

[JT.LR]

" I should have brought a Jeep" but stupidly I bought a Land Rover Freelander 2 and oh what a mistake I made. It is a 2009 SE i6 and has only travelled 85k but have a look at the problems I have encounted.

- replaced spindle in rear diff @ 30k
- replaced fuel pump @ 60k
- replaced alternator @ 80k
- replaced hydraulic pump to power steering @ 82k
- replaced rack & pinion steering @ 85k

On each of these occasions I sought assistance from Land Rover Australia but they simply were not interested in even discussing these problems - their after sales service has been atrocious to the point there is none.

In addition to the above problems I had Land Rover fit a tow bar so I could tow a light weight caravan, well this lead to one problem after another. Final price was over $3k and I should have purchased a better tow bar from Hayman Reece for less than $2k, so I have paid a premium to have Land Rover written on the tow bar. It was not only the cost but the size of the trailer ball mount which is 40mm compared to the standard Australian size of 50mm so I have been unable to purchase a trailer ball mount with a longer shank (required as LR set-up for the Freelander has the tow ball too close to the car).

All in all this car is absolutely junk and no improvement on those earlier Land Rover's that were plagued with problems.

I would urge anyone contemplating the purchase of a Land Rover to look elsewhere, there are much better cars at lower prices.

[roverv8]

did you just join the forum to **** can your landrover??
wonder how many people bought a jeep,
then wish they bought a landrover ;)

[itchynipl]

With regards to the tow bar maybe you should have looked into it first as I did. Purchased a two bar from speedy as I wanted a longer shank & the 50mm. Much less than the LR & no issues... Regardless of the brand always do your research

[Homestar]

The FL2 is a completely different car than the FL1 and has proven to be far more reliable than the earlier version. I know plenty of happy owners of them - I also know plenty of unhappy Jeep owners - believe me.

Everyone runs the risk af getting a bad example - and unfortunately you may have got on of those. I can see why you wouldn't want to buy another if that's your experience, but to bag them out on a Land Rover forum as your first (and maybe only?) post is just a bit silly IMO.

I hope your new Jeep gives you the service you are looking for and I hope you have the diposable income to keep pouring in the unlimited quantity of fuel they seem to use.

But I expect this is just a fishing experdition on your part to get a rise from us LR owners, and you'll probably go and buy a Toyota instead like all the other sheep. Baaa....

[Epic_Dragon]

lol i dont see why you are here complaining? your issues are not landrover as such, but your freelander, which yes is landrover, but what you are experiencing does not mean they are all like that. you will also pay premiums to have any brand written on any factory item! ive owned several 4wds and find my landrover to be the easiest and cheapest one to maintain. my sister has also owned 2 freelanders, and a jeep. she went to jeep after first freelander, then sold it and returned to freelander! her jeep was a very good vehicle it must be said. was the 5cyl diesel one. excellent on fuel. she just prefers her freelander td4. and apart from a sticking waste gate on the turbo, it has had no issues what so ever. the previous petrol one she owned had none either. you will also be hard pressed to find what landrovers offer at the prices they do. but if you dont like them we dont care. go enjoy your life, and drive what ever you please. i for one love my landrover. and am very happy with it. (disco 2 td5) and i know a hell of a lot of people who are also happy with their landrovers. your dislike doesnt affect any of us in the slightest. i do think you are in for a rude awakening however as jeep are not cheap on bits n bobs either, nor are any car makes for that matter. from having jeep/toyota/nissan/holden/ford all in the family at some point, i find my landrover the cheapest on parts compared to those, you justh ave to look in the right places. ive also had more catastrophic stuff go wrong with the others LOL! well the sisters jeep didnt have anything major go wrong and neither have our landrovers, past or current!

I wish you had bought a Jeep.

If you had, then instead of coming here to let off steam, you could have gone to a Jeep forum to let off steam about the problems you had with your Jeep.

I guess you would have made the same assumption with your Jeep; that if you had problems with your Jeep, then all Jeeps are rubbish.

Welcome to Land Rover land. People being people will defend their heaps of **** to the hilt.
Truth is, my friend, LRs are enormously troublesome, expensive and a general pain in the arse, but I love em and I don't have an ego problem either, unlike some on here.
Anyone who tells you their LR is not of the above is either; a politician or someone who didn't smack their kids.
I like Jeeps too.

[mikehzz]

I've got a Freelander 2 and a Jeep. Each is on close to 200,000 kms and I'm happy with them both. I plan on keeping them for another 200k or until I win the lottery. The FL2 is more comfortable, uses less fuel (I bought the diesel, it's sweet), and will go almost everywhere the Jeep can. Everyone knows about the rear diff problem, it usually gets fixed under warranty. All the other stuff is specific to your car...sorry, but it sucks to be you. By the way, my experience says that you shouldn't buy a Jeep either.

That destroy my Jeep guy isn't Jeep material I'm afraid. Jeeps MUST be taken off road regularly so that they get the chance to please you. If only driven around town they will give you the ****s with all the little nonsense things that go wrong. All is forgiven when they perform in the rough and the smile is on your face.

[snowbound]

Thank God my LR (RRC) is only 30 years old, I dread to think what problems may be in store when it gets older, maybe I should have bought a jeep? :eek:

[relatively normal]

Ever heard the phrase 'Friday Car'?

or have you ever driven a Jeep?

I have. In fact I've driven quite a few hundred and I still own a disco. Im not saying the disco is reliable, but its a better option than a Jeep.

I agree with your last statement. I have six Landrovers and know full well what they are like.
Awesome.
However, as a practical form of transport there are other vehicles out there. A Jeep? that is not what you should be looking for. They are very similar to a Landrover. I can't help thinking you would be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
My advice to you would be to get a Commodore. The worlds best car.
My 1994 VR Commodore has been the best car I ever bought. It's done 470,000 reliable km so far and is still going strong. Servicing is cheap and it is a very comfortable car to drive. I've towed cars on tandem trailers effortlessly so it should tow your light weight caravan easily.
Why Holden have decided to stop producing these great vehicles I'll never understand.

I felt so sorry for the fellow I was going to offer to sell him my recently serviced Commodore for the bargain price of $5,500. Low I know for such a great car.
Yes, it was a moment of weakness that has fortunately passed.
I was also going to offer to take the Freelander off his hands at no expense to him.

Garry, I'm shocked you thought I was joking.

And thats the kicker...

I purchased a VR Commodore brand new.. What a box of issues that machine turned out to be...

By 101,000km it was sold...

My LR on the other hand have all been very reliable, other vehicles in our household less so... A vitara that was bullet proof, a Ford that wasnt, a Nissan that cracked a head, a Toyota LC that was just trouble...

The OP needs to get over it..

To make such bollocks statements and expect sympathy is a joke...

To complain about the vehicle because a mechanic cant fit an accessory isnt the brands fault, to complain about the 40mm receiver - well guess what, theyre standard on Suzuki and a few others too...

Did the OP buy it from new? were any of the repairs within warranty?

OP needs a Snickers...

5 issues, all of which are uncommon, some of which likely caused by external factors such as poor or contaminated fuel, a few other issues which whilst frustrating, should be under 'fit for purpose' laws if out of warranty.

Imagine owning a Commodore with its pile of recalls recently. Or the list of known Jeep faults...

And Oh look... A 40mm receiver hitch from HR... Guess what -they do the tongues too..

[frantic]

Hmm jeep, I own a defender 02, my father owns a Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 2011 Laredo. He has had a few issues , including transmission and other things, the latest of being lied to by the service manager. We saw online that his model had been recalled for an electrical fault in the passenger vanity mirror that could set the car alight:twisted: He was getting another item fixed under warranty and he asked for the mirror light to be replaced at the same time when he booked it in. Service manager said "no ,its an internet lie and is false" , Now guess what item is listed to be replaced in the recall notice he received this week. This means another 1/2 day wasted by him on a trip to the dealer for a job they could have ordered the parts for and done 6 weeks ago! Now I know there are tales of LR dealers doing the same , but it seems to be the dealers way.
My defender had a leaking pressure regulator but that was at the 160,000k mark and 11 years old. Other than that nothing else to set it alight.
Also if I was planning to tow, I would not get a freelander. Same as I would not get a jeep wrangler or Cherokee. They all have very low GVM, so if you hook up a trailer and put a holiday load inside, your going to be over your limit.

[vnx205]

As most of us are aware, since this is the internet, we have no way of knowing if the OP really had those problems. In fact we have no way of knowing if he even owned a Freelander.

We can't even be sure that the OP wasn't some ten year old kid with a warped sense of humour.

Ultimately it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference. We will continue to enjoy our Land Rover experience and the OP (if he is genuine) will continue to be miserable.

"Destroy My Jeep" reminds me of the "United Breaks Guitars" protest which ultimately had an impact on United's share price United Breaks Guitars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Breaks_Guitars)

Hi,
many years ago i had a Grand Cherokee as a company car.
The ride was bouncy mainly due to rear cart springs and useless soft front coils. The electrics were terrible. Gearbox hesitated between changes on hard acceleration.
Having said that it went like the wind and stopped even quicker !
The originator of this post should do some research as Jeep use or have used Dana axles that have "C" clips to hold the half shafts in on some models.
Mine was dealer serviced in the UK so one can only hope that these clips were changed at the correct times. If they are not changed it can under hard cornering lead to loss of a rear wheel. It has happened!
Not a good tow car at all.

My experience of this car, along with just about every other 4x4 on the market including a Dacia duster and something in Bali called a Kajang ??? led me to buy a 1994 Range rover Classic 3.9. In the 18 years i have owned it one thing has let me down. The fuel pump relay stopped working (probably worn out :p)

I have just been on a Cape York trip in a 1968 series 2a and apart from our wheel cylinders leaking (9 month old crap quality replacements) we had no issues. We did however see all makes and models of cars with problems.

Everything breaks eventually, and i'm convinced **** servicing/service parts are to blame, even some main dealers are not perfect.

Sounds like you just bought the wrong Land Rover a late model tdi300 or td5 disco would have been the go.

[mikehzz]

I don't think so. The last reliability study that I saw had the Freelander 2 streets ahead of any other Land Rover product. In fact, its reliability index was better than Toyota as a brand. Of course, there were individual Toyota models with a better rating. The Land Rover brand rating as a whole was way down the bottom of the list.

[Rover82]

Freelander 2 replacement disco sport has been showed off in the Paris motor show this week. .looks almost like current rr evoke..landy is starting to depart from traditional straight line design to curvy looks.

I still like my fl2, hopefully spare part availability wouldn't be an issue in thw future.

[wardy1]

I have a mate thinking of getting into a FL2. He was looking at an Xtrail but apparently there are some nasty stories out there about gearboxes.

What does he look for? Any models he should avoid?

He wants to tow a 15' tinnie (only from his holiday house to the ramp) and also cruising from Melb to Phillip Island. It'll also be his daily driver.

I have virtually no knowledge on FL's as I drive a D2a. Some info will be appreciated.

[mikehzz]

Really you just have to make sure that the rear diff bearing has been done if not still in warranty. It's the only real issue. Check the remotes to see if the batteries seem in good nick, that is do they open the doors first go. It's a drama if the batteries kark it as they are hard wired in and it is a total pain in the arse using the key. The petrol models are a bit thirsty. All in all they are a good car.
