oxo 441 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Had a Freelander 2 past five years, best motor I've had. Nothing gone wrong yet apart from the usual tyres etc Shame they are getting long in the tooth now, widely regarded as the most reliable land rover. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
