Hi folks. I have a simple query. My daughter is looking to buy a Freelander 2. 2010,TD4e, XS pack, 132,000, $11,000. This car was brought here from the UK by it's owner, got a compliance plate in 2014.
I don't know the first thing about FLs, so I thought I'd tap the brains trust to see what you think. Any major service pitfalls approaching? On first glance the car appears tidy and clean.
TIA

You should be aware that the rear diff rebuild is not a simple task because of the locking device on the front.
I read in LRO that Land Rover only supply new units at several K dollars, but that now some specialists in UK are able to rebuild.
2010 should be OK as they changed the speed of lockup after about 2007 AFAIR, but the contingent liability is there.

Our Pug 407 has a derivative of the PSA motor and Japanese Aisin 6 speed tranny fitted to the FL2. It has been good. You should be able to blank the EGR in that era FL2.

IMHO the Freelander 2 is a very underated vehicle. I bought a 2009 Td4 HSE with 127k kms on the clock two years ago and am very pleased with it. I've done two services on it and apart from difficulty re access to the pollen filter & oil filter (overcome after buying 27mm swivel head ratchet spanner) was very straightforward.
The price you suggested sounds very reasonable and allows a bit of leeway should someting unexpected show it's ugley head.
If you don't buy it, please PM me the contact details of the seller as I have a friend who is looking for one at the moment.
