    Freelander end of life?

    Members, I have been hearing things like when freelander is killed off with the new discovery sport in 2015, parts availablity would be difficult?

    Also I am concerned about resale value now? Any Possibilities that resalse value might improve when it becomes a rare vehicle?

    Any thoughts?

    It'll still be made, just rebadged and repositioned in the lineup.

    It'll be called a Discovery, & sit under the D4 etc in the same way it's cousin under the skin, the Evoque, sits under Range Rover family.

    The Freelander range per se will be no more.

    Regards
    Max P

    All LRs are "collectors' items"...tax collectors, spare parts sellers, service centres, used car salesmen... they all collect money from LR owners!

    Freelander 2 service

    Hi Gents,

    I had my yearly 52k service carried out at Trivett Parramatta, very happy with the price charged, compared to my previous IX35 diesel the LR is cheaper over a full year to run $862 against $1100. Service costs only. I will admit I am a heavy road user, and have worried about the long service interval, however after 24k between services, nothing was required or needed doing. I know a lot of people speak badly of LR'S my experience is all positive so far.

    Cheers

    Freelander 2 2012 model

    Hi
    I have a rubbing noise coming from my driver side rear interior door, like around the window frame rubber of the door covering, I have attempted to remove the interior door covering with removing the bottom right hand screw and the top left hand screw with a cover cap over it near the interior door handle, at that point the door cover still reminded tightly fastened, I can only assume that there is more to it.... Can anyone advise on how to remove the left hand drivers side rear interior door cover? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

    @ Finnie
    Have you considered taking to dealers? If its under warranty.

    I bought mine 4 months ago, I am getting slight stammering or clattering noise from the driver side door when I do above 100 kmph.

    I have to pay a visit to dealer.

    The Evoque is 'mostly Freelander' underneath
    (The car to be 'seen in' instead of 'see out of')
    The new 'Discovery Sport' starts with the same engines (more & different to come) and I think the front suspension is the same; the rear suspension has had some serious design magic applied.
    Effectively they're still building new with a significant percentage of the old parts bin.
