Land Rover Freelander 2 has been in production since 2006. This crossover already significantly different from the first generation, they had nothing in common except a name. The quality is enough good SUV. Front and rear are equipped with two rigid subframes. Reliable in operation and easy to repair independent suspension. Four-wheel drive and a reliable diesel engine proven over the years.

However, whatever the car, the engine resource is not eternal, the suspension also fails. The duration of this depends on the operating conditions and regular maintenance. We will tell you what problems and weaknesses the Land Rover Freelander 2 can have, what you should pay attention to and what the purchase of a second Freelander with mileage is fraught with.

Pros and cons Freelander 2 with mileage

Engine

Crossovers came off the assembly line with both gasoline and diesel engines.

It is quite difficult to meet a car on gasoline on Russian roads. Released a few of them. One of the problems of the variety with a gasoline unit is the high fuel consumption - 15-17 liters per 100 km. Otherwise, the gasoline power unit has no problems. The main requirement is refueling with high-quality fuel and regular maintenance.

The gas pump, like all gasoline cars, cools naturally, and in order not to have to buy a new one, you need to constantly keep half a tank of fuel, especially in summer.

The diesel version turned out to be more popular, which showed its best side and won the hearts of many owners of this SUV.

Diesel engine advantages:

1. High reliability;
2. The lowest fuel consumption among classmates;
3. Quiet enough.

Yes, and it's true - the motor of the second generation Freelander goes in conjunction with the turbine, and it works unusually quietly. It is almost inaudible in the cabin.

The main disadvantage of a diesel engine is manifested in winter. It consists in poor starting in winter, especially when refueling with low-quality fuel. On cars of the first years of production, the exhaust camshaft constantly fails.

There is one more significant disadvantage fuel system- condensation accumulates in the pipes and freezes. As a result dashboard may give errors. Also, freezing of the fuel system occurs in severe frost.

Therefore, intending to purchase such a used car, it is worth asking the owner if the camshaft was replaced, otherwise there is a great chance of facing expensive repairs. Refueling a car with low-quality diesel fuel leads to rapid wear fuel injectors, which are quite expensive. One of the problems is poor quality and unprofessional service. To replace the oil filter, a special key is required, due to the lack of which the service station specialists simply do not replace it.

Transmission

The Land Rover Freelander has no particular problems with the transmission, except that the clutch is not fully reliable. In the first versions of the crossover, the clutch had to be changed almost every 60 thousand km, but over time, the manufacturer eliminated this shortcoming, increasing the service life by 2 times.

Most SUVs are equipped with a 6-speed manual. There are no problems with it, but with the machine, things are completely different. This box was not famous for its particular reliability, especially in the first batches of cars. After some time of operation, various slips and jerks appeared. After 150 thousand km, the machine requires expensive repairs.

The main problems with the box arise mainly due to harsh operating conditions and frequent off-road driving.

System all-wheel drive reliable enough. The main drawback is the unfortunate location of the ECU by the clutch. They placed it under the bottom, so the effect of water and road reagents leads to rapid wear and replacement. And its price is quite high. The service life is about 70 thousand km.

Chassis

Some owners of this SUV complain about the short service life of the wheel bearings. They go about 100 thousand km, and they are relatively inexpensive. Most often, the suspension repair of the second Freelander is required after 150 thousand km. By this time, it is necessary to replace the CV joint, silent blocks, ball bearings. steering rack it is quite reliable, there are no complaints, but if a backlash or tapping occurs, it is better to replace it immediately. Stabilizer struts serve approximately 50 thousand km.

In general, the Freelander 2 has no problems with the suspension, it is very strong and the service life is acceptable for an SUV.

Finally

The first models had many weaknesses and ended up costing a lot. Over time, they were finalized and a restyled model was released, which differed greatly in reliability. However, it should be borne in mind that after 150 thousand km you will have to spend a lot on repairs and troubleshooting. The first thing that may require repair is the box and gearbox.

In general, this is a fairly strong and comfortable crossover with high cross-country ability and compactness, but, of course, not without flaws.

Disadvantages:

1. Small work resource automatic box;
2. Quite expensive service;
3. The rubber bands of silent blocks wear out quickly.

Advantages:

1. High cross-country ability, excellent off-road qualities;
2. Low consumption of diesel fuel;
3. High-quality interior trim;
4. Comfortable and high seating position.

It should be noted that for trouble-free operation, professionalism and timeliness of service are important. fuel quality, engine oil and other fluids, spare parts and repairs performed. By following the maintenance regulations and conducting regular diagnostics, you will not only extend the life of the crossover, but also get a reliable car. The Immotors car service will help you with this. We are a specialized Land Rover auto repair center in Moscow. We will eliminate all existing Freelander problems quickly and efficiently.

We tell you what to expect from the most popular "rogue" in Russia Brand Land Rover, the compact Freelander 2 that preceded the current Discovery Sport.

Land Rover Freelander 2, which came in the middle of the 2000s to replace the first generation of the younger “rogue” of the legendary off-road family, for many years became the best-selling model of the British brand in Russia, surpassing more impressive and better equipped SUVs in popularity. And he was also known as the most reliable car throughout the history of Land Rover. But is this statement true?

background

Crossover Freelander 2 under the factory index L359, which debuted in 2006 at the International Motor Show in London, became a logical and more perfect continuation of its predecessor. In developing the new Friel, the British did a great job of correcting the bugs. Having retained the recognizable style of the first generation car, Land company Rover built the second generation of the crossover on new platform Ford EUCD (Ford C1 Plus), also underlying Ford Mondeo and S-Max/Galaxy, Volvo S80 and XC60.

As a consequence, the Freelander 2 received more powerful and capable engines. And also a clearance of 210 mm, a modified Terrain Response system, like Discovery 3 and range rover, and, accordingly, the best permeability. The quality of finishing and equipment has reached a new level. The model, which was sold, including in the USA under the name LR2, became even safer, earning the maximum "5 stars" in European crash tests. During production at the plant in British Halwood near Liverpool, Freelander 2 was updated twice: in 2010 and in 2012.

For the first time, the crossover received a modernized 2.2 turbodiesel, which, instead of 160 forces, developed 150 and 190 “horses” depending on the settings. Also, restyling in 2010 brought revised trim materials to the car. For the second time - two years later - the Freelander was corrected in the shape of the bumpers, radiator grille, design rims and added LEDs to the optics. And other finishing materials and redrawn the front panel with the center console. The main innovation was the 2-liter "turbo" EcoBoost instead of the "six" 3.2. In this form, the car was produced for a couple more years - until 2014.

"Resale"

With five engine options and two gearboxes, any appreciable variety of Freelander 2 on secondary market does not provide to its customers. After all, three-quarters of all crossovers sold of this model with mileage are versions with a 2.2 turbodiesel ( 84% ) and automaton ( 88% ). Cars with a petrol “six” 3.2, available on the model from the very beginning, are rare ( 12% ), and with the new petrol "turbo four" 2.0 from the last restyling, there is a shortage at all ( 4% ). The manual transmission on this car is also not popular ( 12% ). Yes, and it is found only in tandem with a diesel engine on cars until 2012.

Body for conscience

A good double-sided galvanic treatment of the Freelander 2 body metal protects it from corrosion for quite a long time. But, alas, not completely. Small pockets of rust can still appear with age on the rear fenders, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwheel arches and on the trunk door. Even if the car has not been involved in an accident in the past. And corrosion occurs in parts of the body hidden from prying eyes. For example, at the junctions of the front fenders and bumper. True, to see this, the latter must be dismantled.

The appearance of "Frila" aged can spoil the peeling coating grille and overlays on the front fenders for 7300 rubles, as well as above the license plate on the tailgate. From moisture and dirt in this model for several years, the rear wiper electric motor worth 12,400 rubles and the tailgate unlock button for 2,900 rubles “die”. Yes, and door locks with age await the same fate. When inspecting the car, make sure that the headlining and trunk floor are dry. It is not uncommon for the sunroof and additional brake light to leak.

Three motors - five options

Initially, Freelander 2 was equipped with a 233-horsepower "Volvo" naturally aspirated in-line "six" 3.2 (i6) and a 160-horsepower turbodiesel 2.2 (DW12) jointly developed by Ford and PSA Peugeot Citroen. The first is considered one of the most successful power units of the Swedish brand. She has a timing chain for 8,700 rubles, which stretches to 250,000 km. Those who like to drive on an almost empty tank due to a lack of cooling with gasoline in the summer can “die” a submersible fuel pump for 31,000 rubles. Traces of oil drips on this engine often appear due to the short-lived oil separator of the crankcase ventilation system in valve cover for 7700 rubles.

But the second - diesel - at first turned out to be capricious and not very reliable. At least until 2008, when the company cured many of his “childhood diseases”, such as short-lived fuel injectors for at least 22,000 rubles and infrequently surviving up to 80,000 km of injection pump for 40,000 rubles. Also, the owners were troubled by the timing belt tearing up to 130,000 km from 5,000 rubles for a non-original and a weak camshaft fuel pump high pressure. For more recent versions of this turbodiesel with a capacity of 150 and 190 forces, released in 2010 after the first restyling, the intercooler for 12,500 rubles and its pipes, as well as a cooling radiator for 26,200 rubles, do not differ in durability and tightness. The former are enough for about 70,000 km, and the latter can last twice as long.

The oil in a diesel engine must be changed after 13,000 km, and candles last up to 80,000 km. The turbine for 58,800 rubles is tenacious and regularly blows at least up to 200,000 km. But only in a less powerful version of the diesel. The "Ford" 2-liter 240-horsepower "turbo-four" (Si4), which replaced the "six" in 2012, alas, cannot boast of being trouble-free. There are known cases of valve burnout on this motor, as well as the destruction of the partitions between the rings. First of all piston group suffers from lovers of dynamic driving. The problem in Land Rover was solved by replacing the software. Trouble, knocking when you press the gas, blue or gray smoke from exhaust pipe and a burning lamp check engine on the dash.

Transmission

You should not be afraid of the 6-speed Getrag Ford M66 mechanics, rarely found on the Freelanders. It is quite reliable and will only bother the owner of the crossover with a clutch replacement for 19,200 rubles with a frequency of 50,000 km. The Aisin Warner AWF21 automatic machine, the most common on this model, with the same number of steps, bothered only on early cars produced before 2008. Due to slips and jerks, such boxes changed under warranty. For the rest, this transmission is durable and, without problems, about 250,000 km can depart before the first large-scale repair. The main thing is to regularly change the oil in it at least 60,000 km.

One of the unpleasant qualities of the Frila transmission is the rumble that stands in the rear of the cabin while driving. At first, dealers treated the problem by replacing the rear final drive, and on later machines, updating its bearings. After 150,000 km, the front gearbox angular gear may crunch and creak at the crossover. Around the same time, the cardan shaft from 59,600 rubles will inform the owner about the desire to retire with vibrations. It is important not to miss and in time to replace the drive seals that have begun to snot.

In addition to changing the oil and filter every 50,000 km, the multi-plate clutch drive rear wheels before a run of about 150,000 km, it can only be disturbed by the failure of its oil pump for 33,500 rubles and electronic “brains” for 49,900 rubles. The latter, like the gearbox, as well as other transmission units, require cleaning and drying after leaving the asphalt in the mud and overcoming small fords. This will protect them from overheating and premature wear.

Rest

Frila's suspension is characterized by servicemen and owners of this crossover as reliable. Up to 120,000 km, when buzzing wheel bearings of 12,400 rubles together with a hub may be asked for a replacement, only owners of cars of the first two years of production were worried about the chassis. For 35,000 km, they wore out steering tips for 2,100 rubles and stabilizer struts for 1,850 rubles, and for 70,000 km and support bearings for the front struts for 2,150 rubles. Also, sometimes you have to visit the service because of the knocks of the steering rack.

Front shock absorbers for 6,600 rubles and rear shock absorbers for 10,200 rubles on Freelander 2 run about 150,000 km. By the same run, you may have to change the buzzing power steering pump for 27,200 rubles. By about 180,000 km, silent blocks from 3,400 rubles and ball joints for 1300 rubles. original brake pads for 4200 rubles, the SUV is enough for about 50,000 km, and brake discs for 3700 rubles - up to 140,000 km.

How much?

Find on secondary freelander market 2 won't come cheap. The very first pre-styling cars aged 11-12 years old with a range of 200,000 km cost at least 500,000 rubles, regardless of the type of engine and gearbox. For 7-8-year-old crossovers released after the first update with an upgraded diesel engine and a mileage of up to 100,000 - 150,000 km, their owners ask for at least 700,000 rubles. Prices for "Freelanders 2" of the second restyling start from 1,000,000 rubles. The most recent 3-4-year-old copies of the model, officially implemented in our country and running around Russian roads about 30,000 km, cost around 1,500,000 rubles.

Our choice

According to the Am.ru editors, the youngest "rogue" from the Land Rover family - Freelander 2 - is a good purchase, which, subject to the choice of a "live" and well-groomed specimen, will please its owner with comfort, quality and reliability for a long time to come. The best option will be an updated 150-horsepower diesel crossover not older than 2010 release. Such a car with a mileage of less than 150,000 km can be found from 800,000 rubles. An interesting, more dynamic, but also more voracious option could be an SUV with a top-end gasoline "six" no older than 2008, which costs about 600,000 - 750,000 rubles.

16 July 2018 → mileage 202000 km

Part 4. 200000

Good day to all. There was a round number on the odometer, I decided to write another review.

About auto.

Let me remind you that the car was bought new, in May 2011 from the OD, in Moscow, for 1.4 million rubles. In the second complete set with additionally installed some options. I am one owner.

Weekend car. I traveled on it almost all of central Russia from Murmansk to Abkhazia, from Brest to Mongolia. Regular autumn trips to Akhtuba. The car is good for long trips, no fatigue, very pleased with the high bus landing, collected, but soft suspension.

For 7 years, the exterior and interior were practically not affected, with the exception of a few chips on the body and glass. LKP firmly holds the blows of operation. No comparison with my previous Lancer and Civic. In general, most of all, what I appreciate in a car (for which I bought it) is solidity, brutality. Not a single cricket in 7 years, no suspension rattle, creaking of cheap cardboard trim in the cabin. Everything is conscientious, all finishing materials, metal, you can’t wash your finger, the quality of the paintwork. Yes, in terms of design, everything is already quite modest, dull by today's standards, but the feeling of quality and solidity, comfort has not gone anywhere. Yes, there are a number of shortcomings, but for me they are not significant. I don't notice anymore.

Operation did not cause much trouble, and for the first 5 years, I generally went only for maintenance. The engine does not cause enthusiasm for its power, after all, a diesel engine. He is valued by others. First and main - expense fuel, which is 6.5-7 liters year-round. On a cruise, going 90-100 km / h, when one in the cabin and without cargo, the computer showed 5.6 liters. According to my estimates, the difference is twofold compared to a similar gasoline version. I have a friend at work who has an Outlander 2.4, he has average consumption 12l. Thus, roughly, the savings over 7 years amounted to about 350,000 rubles. I fill up everywhere, but at branded gas stations. Several times there were forced gas stations at unnamed gas stations and 2 times I "hit". Once in the winter, at a gas station near my GSK, where I used to fill a Honda without problems, I grabbed a summer diesel fuel in December. The second time was last summer in the village of Ust-Kan, Altai Republic. After refueling 20 forced liters, the engine began to smoke bluish. On the slopes there was a smoke screen like from KAMAZ. Even at idle there was blue smoke coming out of the chimney. That's it, Khan engine, or fuel, or catalyst, then I thought. It's gone.

The second plus is autonomy. In a quiet highway mode, a tank (68l) is enough for 1000 km. Checked. 3. Torque. When you need to “whisper” up a steep rocky slope at a minimum speed, for example, the engine allows you to do this without straining. On previous petrol cars in such cases, it was necessary to turn the motor by forcing the suspension and rubber of the car.

But, there are downsides too. The first is to constantly monitor the battery. In the beginning, in the early years, I dropped it off a couple of times. Those who travel only around the city on a diesel, and even if they have a Webasto-type heater, are favorites and frequent customers of road maintenance services in winter. The battery does not have time to charge in traffic jams. Yes, even with a tricky Frilov intelligent battery charging system. People turn on the heating of everything and everything, everything that is possible is plugged into the cigarette lighter)) ... My opinion, a personal passenger car on a diesel engine in the city and with an “autonomous system” is a hemorrhage and an irrational action, there is no saving. Long write, explaining the Webasto principle, but those who are in the subject will support me. The autonomy takes a very long time to heat up, and it is very good to have battery energy. Diesel is good for long highway runs.

The second problem is the problem of the plant in severe frost. For me, without preheating the Webasto, the engine started up with a lot of tension for itself even already at -15. I am not responsible for all diesels, but the Frilovian is gentle in this regard. Yes, it starts, but with wild vibrations, doubling, tripling, smoke screen. But, after warming up the Webasto plant with half a turn. The problem is that, for example, if the frost is 35 it is likely not to start at all. It happened to me once in 7 years. In the January frosts of 2017, in a village, 600 km from Moscow ... The car stood for two days in such a frost, in the wind. The battery almost dropped to zero (I did not know that then). I launch Webasto, after puffing for 5 minutes, it stalls from the battery landing, goes into blocking. Auto corpse. After charging the battery for a day, I wound up. And who else has dead candles - that's it, a tow truck, a warm garage, or, wait for spring.

Anyone who drives a car a little is likely not to have time to switch from “summer” to “winter”.

Another minus, subjective. The car is in the GSK box. Walk from home 15 min. In winter, when you need to warm up the engine with an autonomous system, you need to come close to the garage door to start the Webasto with the remote control. Previously, the brains do not catch the signal, interference. And here you are standing in the cold, early in the morning, in the dark, waiting, cleaning the snow from the gate so that the car warms up preheating at least 15 min. Who has a car under the windows of the house does not have such discomfort, of course

In short, diesel is more demanding on winter operation than gasoline, who are constantly in good shape and attentive to their car have no problems. But, if I lived somewhere in the YaNAO, or in the Republic of Yakutia in the regions of our Siberia and the Urals, I definitely would not have bought it for personal purposes. Spring-summer-autumn no problem. Even, to overheat - it is necessary to try. And only those who did not wash the radiators from fluff and dirt overheat in time.

And definitely, I can’t say if I would like the next car to be diesel ... If the diesel version of the car costs less than the gasoline one, as was the case with Friel, which was much cheaper with the new diesel (like all other models of the brand), the diesel itself is good, like on Freelander, and the car is big, heavy - definitely yes. Pampering to have a car for personal use with a consumption of 15-20 liters. and more, I think.

Service.

5 years and 145,000 km. as mentioned earlier, went without trouble. In fact, he did just that. I change the filter myself, I stop by the profile service to change the oil. In ordinary eateries like "Express" they themselves do not undertake to change, and you should not trust them. All because of the oil filter: 1. It is very difficult to get close to it, 2. The design is not in the usual sense, I took it, screwed it on. Cartridge, in a flask-lid with a sealing rubber band. This rubber band is thin. If the gum is of substandard section (left), the oil will “fly away” very quickly. Wedge. Or, on the contrary, if the section diameter is too large, and the cover of the oil cartridge can be difficult to tighten, and unscrewing it is generally unrealistic, only by overdoing it by breaking the turnkey slots. Which I did once. Somewhere ... I had to change this plastic "figurine" (3500r) ... There are no analogues.

I use 5w30 oil. Up to 150,000 km. there was no fumes at all. Now it began to go somewhere 0.5-0.7 liters per 10t.km. The last 3 years went to Lukoil Lux. Before that, there was OD-th Castrol, then Motul. Recently I was in Pskov, I bought NESTE at a branded gas station for 4 replacements, I fill it in now, I don’t feel the difference. I think by mileage 250,000 go to 5W40.

Once I changed the candles for 100 t.km, it turned out to be in vain (the battery died, the Polish Warta) only later amassed a problem. Candles were working, but the gaskets intake manifold placed crooked. This was revealed after 2 years, when the engine began to frankly snotty oil from under the intake and the engine worked hard. The battery was installed by Exide.

At 120 t.km. I went to the Volvo service for the maintenance of Haldex. Dismantled, washed.

Every 3 years I change the power steering fluid reservoir by displacement. Thanks to club gurusJ Every 3 years changed brake fluid. After 6 years I replaced the brake hoses. After 5 years, I changed the antifreeze with washing the radiators. In general, they climbed in vain, everything was clean there.

Just once changed the oil in the front differential and in the box. In the box recently, at 175 t.km, in principle, in vain. The oil drained is conditioned, transparent, homogeneous, factory red. According to the regulations, replacement is required every 240t.km. Filled with non-original Mobil Mobilube HD 75W90, but you need Castrol Syntrans V FE 75W80.

It is only under the order for the original number. Transfers with Mobile began to turn on badly in the winter. Later, with the replacement of the flywheel, the clutch changed again to the original. Here in the rear gearbox, I change the fluid every year, after winter. I fill in the usual mineral water Castrol EP 80W90, because it makes no sense to pour good there. It still buzzes. Oil merges always heterogeneous, cloudy, with water.

Regularly, every 2 years I disassemble, clean the mechanism parking brake, there is such a sore in these machines, wedge them at the most inopportune moment. Corrosion … Tech like all frilovodov rear brake light after car washes. I put it on sealant. I changed the rubber seals of the wheel arches, dried out, lost their shape on the rubber of the tailgate seal VAZ-2112. For all the time, two summer and one winter sets of tires have worn out. Summer is almost zero, the factory Good Year and her one set of the same company. Winter (Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 5) with wear% 60 sold as used after 6 winters of use. There is no wear at all on the tires. Here is a summer one, I think with increased wear, according to my rough estimates, 50-55 thousand have passed. It's a paradox, the tires are worn down at an accelerated pace, but the brakes ... All the original discs and front pads are still standing. Rear pads changed at 135000km. The friction layer has already begun to peel off. But, I'm about to put everything new, bought a long time ago, at the end of 2014, at the old prices. I then bought a lot of things, when everyone rushed for cars and TV setsJ.

The shock absorbers are tired, it is already starting to break through the suspension with a full load where it was not there before. I think by 220-250 tons I will change immediately with springs. The rest is still holding, the only, very slight backlash of one tie rod (tucked tangentially once into the curb). Because of this, the steering wheel is slightly warped. I went like this until last year's trip to Altai, where this jamb surfaced. On the Moscow-Gorno-Altaisk section, the rubber on one side ate to zero. At the local tire shop, they tightened up the traction at the wheel alignment. The rear one wheel also left a little, but everything was soured there, since no one climbed there in 7 years. Now only grinder saw and drill bolts.

Replaced the gas stops on the hood and trunk lids. I put a Swedish analogue on the trunk, I was dissatisfied with it, although not much cheaper than the original (1250r.sht). On the hood I decided not to goon and bought an analogue (2500r).

On the 7th year of life, signs of corrosion appeared outwardly. The body is without galvanization, as far as I understand, and this makes itself felt. Firstly, the paint was swollen with small bubbles (match head) under those chips that I didn’t notice in time and didn’t paint over with a pencil. Bubbles also appeared on the tailgate duct. Traces of rust on the arch of one left wheel (stoned). Processed .. The tailgate rusts under the molding, but here “thank you” to the Krivorukov OD for the CASCO repair after a small accident. Also, I tint, it does not spread yet. I want to zaantikorit spars under the bottom. As long as they corrode. And then it will be seen. The car, of course, runs all year round, according to different roads, in the provinces roads are still sprinkled with salt, not always mine after that ... There is nothing eternal.

Breakdowns.

In general, the car practically did not annoy with breakdowns. Only in the 6th year and by the mileage of 150,000 it immediately fell and hit the wallet noticeably. It was the summer of 2016.

Chronology.

38,000 - hood limit switch (500r). Changed myself. Most likely, it was flooded with spray during a very heavy rain.

52,000 - a wedge of parking brake pads in one of the wheels. On my way. Dismantled and cleaned at a nearby dealership. Subsequent complete disassembly cleaning the mechanisms of both rear wheels on their own

61,000 - the rear differential buzzed. The most massive and widespread Freelander disease. Done under warranty.

98,000 - burned out "size" (18r). Do-it-yourself replacement

99 900 - repeated wedge of the parking brake pads in one of the wheels. Subsequent complete disassembly cleaning the mechanisms of both rear wheels on their own

110,000 - one of the car key fobs refused to leave the lock socket without outside help due to the "bloating" of the opening buttons. I bought an analogue on Ali (420r).

123,000 - failure of the tailgate opening handle. Also a common disease, “thanks” to FORD, from the FF2-station wagon the detail is one to one. Do-it-yourself replacement (2100r)

143 500 - EGR valve cooler (32500r). A very dreary replacement, inaccessibility, soured bolts ... At first, in one service, the scan showed an error on the valve itself, there was no doubt that it was in it, EGR heat exchangers very rarely break. I purchased an analogue of Piersburg (12000r). When I went to change, they changed it and the check did not go out, after scanning again it turned out that there was an error in the heat exchanger. I ordered a part in Avtodok, I bring it, it’s not the same! It turned out that my restyled modification had another EGR cooler, more complex, with some kind of vacuum machine. I had to be a little nervous and quarrel with the return and wait for the part with the correct article number.

144 000 – overrunning clutch air conditioner compressor. Overheat. Very rare breakdown, rare item, (15000 r).

144 300 - air conditioning compressor. Overheating, wedge. (29000r). The saddest and most embarrassing moment of all time. Briefly, the story is this. In the spring of the 16th year, I went to one service (I’ll call it the LR service) to flush the radiators, replace the belts with rollers, along the way, even then the intake manifold gaskets were changed. In June, on the track, the overrunning clutch of the compressor rattled and it wedges, the drive belt breaks. Tow truck. They put a new one in the LR service, they determine that the compressor is almost jammed, they give it to me, I take it for repair to the AUTOMATIC company on Krasnobogatyrskaya, 2. People, remember this office and never, NEVER go there! This is the only place in Moscow where they repair (allegedly) DENSO compressors. Instead of repairing my compressor, these fools sold some refurbished one, only they rearranged my new clutch. There was a very long scandal, swearing, it hurts to remember, I spent a lot of nerves then, spat, took it, brought it to the service, put it on the car. I drove home, the compressor only works when the car is moving. At idle, hot air comes out of the ducts in the plug. I didn’t immediately turn to this Automation ... after 2 months, after a vacation and a trip to Astrakhan, I went to them, they do diagnostics, and it turns out that I have .... The radiator fans don't work at all. I’m going to the LR service, after a long search they find an open circuit. The wiring to the fan ECU was frayed on one of the pipes. The curtain! My version. In the spring, when I was dug into engine compartment in this LR service, with the disassembly and removal of all radiators, pipes, belts, intake manifolds, everything was crookedly assembled and this wire to the fans, rubbed, rubbed for a couple of months, until it was worn out, the fans “stood up”. The freon in the condenser did not cool enough, the pressure in the system was excessive all the time. So the compressor began to wedge, and the clutch burned out from this. I traveled half the summer with non-working fans, I even managed to go to Astrakhan and back! It didn’t overheat just because the diesel engine was cold in summer and didn’t stand in traffic jams, everything ran along the highway. The master of that service justified himself for a long time, called it all nonsense. Alas, the causal relationship can no longer be restored. He has his own version, I have my own ... I did not find a single topic about a wire break on the club forum. How did I manage not to notice that? So, the diesel rumbles so much that in the cabin, you can’t hear from the outside whether the fans are working, and rarely turn on, the engine is cold.

At the moment, with the second, restored compressor, God only knows if he managed to suffer too ... And this situation does not please me at all. New set -65t.+10 work. In thought.

158 500 - repeated hum rear gear. I went through everything in the same service LR (16000r). This timeQuality and very quickly done.

182,000 - the connector of one rear light fell apart. More precisely, after the accident, when they changed the bumper at the OD, apparently they didn’t insert the plug into the connector correctly, there was no plastic wedge-lock at all when I got there myself. First, I changed the turn signal lamp, it didn’t help, then I looked at the contacts, they were all oxidized, turned green. I cleaned it, stuffed it with electric grease and fixed it with a homemade wedge. As long as everything stays on, the flashlight functions.

198,000 - dual-mass flywheel (21000r). In principle, he hastened his death. In February of this year, after a heavy snowfall, it bogged down. After that, the stink from the burnt clutch and itching began to periodically go, vibrations on the pedal when the clutch was depressed. Disc + basket (12000r), release bearing (1000r) also changed. The disk was still alive. Plus, along the way, they replaced: the rear crankshaft oil seal (1200r), which began to sweat, the hydraulic release tube (1000r), the oil in the box (4500r) and something else.

Summary.

Auto with character, requires some attention. If you follow the car and treat small company whims with restraint, then the thrill of owning a car is indescribable. Even when carried on a tow truck, thoughts did not run to get rid of. Friel is like family to me. And the attitude towards him accordingly. Change and don't think it makes sense now? And for what?...

Would I buy it for myself again now? At current prices, definitely not! And in general, I would not buy anything more expensive than a million and more difficult than Duster. An irrational waste of money is the purchase of movable property. Other worries already.



The popularity of crossovers was torn up like an interceptor raised on alarm, and cooperation with the Ford concern bore fruit: the use of the proven EUCD platform (aka C1 plus) and the experience of Ford managers made it possible to solve the old problem of brand car reliability. Indeed, in addition to Freelander 2, many best-selling cars from both Ford brands (for example, Mondeo, Escape, Kuga, Galaxy and S-Max) and Volvo (S80, XC70, XC60 and V70) were built on this platform.

It is also worth noting that the British designers managed to create a surprisingly balanced car, which fully corresponds to the definition of " compact crossover class "premium", and at the same time not to sacrifice the brand's off-road image. And the price turned out to be not sky-high at all (although, of course, it could not be attributed to budget models either).

All this allowed the company to proudly declare that it has a truly mass model.

Indeed, in just 4 years, the production volume has exceeded a quarter of a million, and by the end of 2014, more than 300,000 Freelander 2s were already running on the roads of the planet. The crossover has also gained considerable popularity in Russia. But if you dig around the web and see what the owners say about the model, it may seem that you are reading a collection of contradictions. For example, the reliability and quality of this car are among the most frequently mentioned advantages, as well as among the main disadvantages! So why do they love and scold Land Rover Freelander 2?

Hate #5: small trunk

Any crossover is bought as a universal car, and for universal car It is important to be able to transport a solid amount of cargo. It would seem that such a solid and massive car (body length - 4.5 meters, width - 2.2 meters, wheelbase- 2660 mm) and the trunk should be hoo. But the first thing he discovers new owner so that's what it really is luggage compartment not so great. Let's be honest: the Freelander 2 has a small trunk.

The cunning British write on the tablets that its volume is 755 liters and, in general, they don’t lie. But this is the whole volume, under the ceiling. And if you measure it the way we are used to, that is, to the glazing line, then exactly 322 cubes of 1 liter fit into the luggage compartment. Plus, the trunk floor is at a height “you will be waist-deep”, so stuffing heavy things into the trunk (such as outboard motor) is still a pleasure.

The next disappointment befell the owner of "Freelik" when he first tries to get into the car for the night. Well, yes, the rear sofa folds, it only folds in this way: first, the rear sofa cushion leans forward, then the backrest “drops” (more precisely, the pillows and backrests, because the seats fold in a ratio of 60:40). It turns out a platform with a flat floor, and that's good. The bad thing is that the pillow thrown forward "eats" at least 30-40 centimeters, and the length of the resulting area is less than one and a half meters. In general, the married couple of Thumb and Thumbelina will settle down to spend the night comfortably, and with a height of 182 cm I can’t fit there even diagonally.

Love #5: appearance

In at least half of the reviews, external attractiveness is named as a significant plus of the model. Indeed, the appearance of the Freelik can be attributed to the unconditional success of the design team led by Paul Hunstock: from any angle, the car is unequivocally recognizable as a representative of the glorious Land Rover tribe, while, despite the simplicity of the lines, it does not look like a gloomy “suitcase”. It seems to be a typical middle peasant: not small and not large, not high and not low, moderately brutal, moderately aggressive, but not devoid of aristocratic elegance.

At the same time - a typical "unisex". Behind the wheel of Freelander 2, an unshaven adventurer in camouflage, a manager in a business suit, a representative of the creative class in a youth outfit, and a fashionista in a dress from an expensive boutique look equally organic. And some similarities in the general outlines and pattern of the radiator lining with the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport enough for many drivers of more modest cars, barely seeing the Friel in the rear-view mirrors, in a hurry to give way.

Hate #4: steering wheel and signal

And if they still don’t give way to you, then you need to beep! Okay, maybe that doesn't fit into the rules of good manners too much. But how many situations happen on the road when you need to warn of your presence with a sound signal: either a careless pedestrian crosses the road in an unspecified place, covering his head with a hood and not looking around, or the Gazelle driver tries to play the Selfless watchdog and the Yorktown cruiser - that is, it is rebuilt by the “slow bulk method”. And now you habitually pound on the steering wheel hub - and in response there is silence, because the horn is turned on by two keys in the form of stripes located on the sides of this very hub. The only thing worse could be a “beep” at the end of the stalk ...

The quality of the steering wheel upholstery also causes a lot of criticism, both leather on the top version of the HSE and plastic on simpler trim levels.

But in assessing the steering wheel itself, the opinions of the owners differ diametrically. It seems to some that the steering wheel is too large, and the section is even, without the “ergonomic influxes” so dear to the heart of the riders, but for someone (including me), all this is just to their liking.

Love #4: interior and ergonomics

But the rest of the interior arrangement of Freelander 2, as a rule, causes only positive emotions. The materials are very high quality - leather, fabric, and soft plastic. Perhaps, by today's standards, the instrument panel looks rustic, but the digitization of both the speedometer and the tachometer is perfectly readable both day and night. Everything is convenient, everything is at hand. Particularly good seats with adjustable lumbar support and electric drives.

5 / 5

The engine starts with a button. Now you will not surprise anyone with this, and in 2006 such a decision was typical for much more expensive and representative cars. You need to get used to the fact that to start the engine you need to insert the key fob into a special slot to the left of the steering wheel, but this solution has a quite clear plus: when the engine is running, the key fob battery is charged, and you should not be afraid that in some moment you will not be able to open the car due to the fact that your battery is dead. Well, in case you left the car in the parking lot with the headlights on, landed the main battery, and the locks locked in the “closed” position, the sting of the mechanical key is hidden in the body of the key fob. This will allow you to open the doors, pull the hood lock lever and “light up” some compassionate Samaritan from the battery.

Very good and review. First of all, because of the branded “commander” (more precisely, “semi-commander”, after all, this is not a Defender) landing. Many consider the interior mirror too small, but this drawback is completely compensated by large mirrors, like a real SUV, and ultrasonic sensors and a rear-view camera (which, however, is only available in top trim levels). And absolutely everyone likes the exceptionally high-quality sound of the Meridian speaker system.

Hate #3: Poor soundproofing

But here is an ambush: the Freelander is still noisy. And it's not the rumbling of a 2.2-liter diesel that annoys at all - although it does not work silently, it does not rumble like a tractor either. No wonder the vast majority of sales came from diesel versions. Moreover, in Russia they accounted for more than 95% of all Freelanders sold! But aerodynamic noise and road noise from wheel arches, both rear and front - here they annoy quite pretty. You can, of course, take care of additional sound insulation, but this means serious investments, and most likely it will not solve the problem radically. So most owners simply prefer to turn up the sound of that wonderful Meridian media system on a bad road.

Love # 3: good handling and flotation

As it should good crossover, in terms of the perception of the road surface, "Freelik" is absolutely omnivorous. Its suspension readily deals with gentle waves, small bumps, and serious bumps and pits, without requiring steering. In fact, the handling of the car deserves to be discussed in more detail.

On the one hand, there are crossovers that steer much better, especially on good pavement - for example, the same BMW or Audi. But you also get tired in them much more, especially on long routes in Russian hinterland where good asphalt is a rarity rather than a rule. On the other hand, the fact that there are cars with more polished and sharper handling does not mean at all that everything is very sad in the case of the Freelander. Yes, the car rolls in corners more than comparable sedans and hatchbacks, but these rolls are not beyond the permissible limits.

The situation with accelerating and braking dynamics also looks very good. The six-speed automatic provides exceptionally correct traction control, so the desire to switch to manual gear shifting is very rare. Freelander accelerates very confidently, and you can get away from the traffic light even when there are much more powerful cars. Then, of course, they will catch up with you, but it will be later ... In general, the accelerating Frilik resembles not so much a cannonball fired from a cannon as an electric train that has started off the platform. It seems like nothing happened, and you were not pressed into the back of the chair, but there are already a hundred on the speedometer.

In this, by the way, there is a certain ambush. In terms of subjective perception of speed, Freelander has two positions: “I stand still” and “food”. Both 20 and 120 km / h are perceived almost the same, and the difference between 75 and 85 km / h (which determines whether you will receive a “letter of happiness” or not) is not felt at all. In short, for a long time the Freelander's only rival in terms of ride comfort in the compact premium crossover segment was the Mercedes GLK.

Hate #2: Expensive service

Just like cars with a three-pointed star, Freelander is quite expensive to maintain, especially if you use the services official dealers. Superimposed on all this is the fact that for cars manufactured before and after 2012, there are different maintenance regulations, and, of course, in each case, separate for gasoline and diesel versions.

So, for pre-styling cars, changing the oil in the razdatka, manual transmission and the rear axle gearbox are supposed to be carried out with a mileage of 240,000 km, but since 2012 these operations have been supposed to be carried out with a mileage of 130,000 km (except for servicing a manual transmission, the oil in which must be changed every 10 years, regardless of mileage). Conversely, the replacement of spark plugs until 2012 was carried out at a mileage of 48,000 km, and after 2012 - at a mileage of 78,000 km.

And in any case, all this is not cheap. For example, for cars manufactured in the period 2010-2011, the cost of maintenance with an oil change in an automatic box with a mileage of 48,000 km can reach 50,000 rubles. It is clear that the vast majority of Freelander owners are people, although they are not in poverty, but they also do not belong to the “masters of life”.

A natural process was the migration to the so-called "club" services, specializing in the maintenance and repair of Land Rover, but not included in the official dealer network. There they will clearly tell you that the engine oil needs to be changed at least every 12,000 km or once a year, and the oil in the machine - at least 1 time in 65,000 km. But the oil in a manual gearbox, in a transfer case and in axle gearboxes (with the exception of the rear one) can really be changed less often than once every 130,000 or 240,000 km, as prescribed in the official regulations. The fuel filter must be changed at every service. air filter- through time, having managed to check his condition.

Love #2: even to Siberia!

If you treat the car with attention and love, then it will reciprocate. In particular, this applies to operation in the winter, the most difficult period for all motorists.

Surprisingly, but the car, designed on the British Isles washed by the warm Gulf Stream, and even equipped with a diesel engine, can be safely called one of the most “winter-hardy” models on our market. Firstly, all Freelanders were equipped with regular starting preheaters Webasto with remote start. They have their own sores: until 2013, quite brittle ones were put on the car Webasto Thermo Top V, but after that came new (and almost eternal) boilers with a Webasto Thermo Top VEVO evaporative type burner. One way or another, with a working heater and relatively fresh preheated candles, the Freelander 2 diesel starts up confidently even when the thermometer drops below 30.

But even after starting the engine, the Freelander owner will continue to enjoy life: he does not have to, cursing everything in the world, furiously rub the frosted up to complete opacity windshield. Just press the Prog button located on the center console and the car will go into quick warm-up mode. The electric heating of the windshield and rear windows, washer nozzles and side mirrors will turn on, the engine will increase speed, and the air conditioning system will work at maximum power. Naturally, for the comfort of the lower back (and what is below), you can turn on the heated seats. A couple of minutes - and the "wipers" will brush off the melted ice from the windshield, melted windows will appear on the side windows, and the temperature in the cabin will rise to acceptable values. You can start off ... And this despite the fact that warming up many diesel SUVs, even premium ones, requires at least 10-15 minutes.

Hate #1: And yet it breaks...

Still, the main stumbling block in assessing the Freelander 2 is its reliability. Literally everyone agrees that this model is the most hassle-free in the Land Rover range. Maybe the fact is that the car, although equipped with a fairly large number of automatic systems, after all, is not completely "electronic".

But here's what's interesting: as I already noted, at least half of the owners consider the reliability of the Freelander 2 to be one of its main advantages, but the second half consider reliability to be the biggest problem. Indeed, the car has several generic sores, the fight against which almost no one can avoid.

At the turn of a run of 60-80 thousand km (sometimes earlier, sometimes a little later), you will begin to annoy the hum that emits rear axle. As a rule, the cause of it is the front bearing of the rear gearbox. At the “officials”, you will most likely be offered to change the gearbox assembly, and this is 32 thousand for the gearbox itself, plus work and fluids ... In general, it runs pretty well. Fortunately, in specialized unofficial services, they acquired the necessary tools and adapted to sort out the gearbox, while changing only the bearing itself and “disposable” parts. Such an operation costs 10-12 thousand.

Another generic sore is the death of the intercooler pipes, which are rubbed against neighboring metal parts, or even simply burst.

As a result, the engine instantly loses traction and begins to smoke, and either "POWER LIMIT" or CHECK ENGINE lights up on the display. This disease can be cured on your own, and a set of pipes can cost very differently: from 14-15 thousand for the original set to 1,500 rubles for Chinese counterparts from Aliexpress. There are even originals that install pipes from KAMAZ, and surprisingly, everything works!

But otherwise, the problems and the price of their solution are not too different from other models. In general, all these real-life shortcomings cannot cast a shadow on the main advantage of the model.

Love # 1: like a real "rogue"!

The main advantage (for those who understand) is the best cross-country ability in the class at the level of "real SUVs", having transfer case and downshift. In any case, in terms of cross-country ability, Freelander 2 (of course, on the appropriate tires) is quite comparable with the standard Niva or Chevrolet Niva(And this despite the fact that you should not even stutter about their comparison in terms of comfort).

Here it is worth mentioning a serious ground clearance(220 mm - these are not bugs for you), and excellent security of all units under the bottom of the car, and durable bumpers, and a diesel engine that provides serious traction at low revs.

The Freelander 2's main weapon against off-road is, of course, the proprietary Terrain Response system with the Snow, Mud/Ruts and Sand modes, which until 2012 were switched on by a characteristic "washer", and after that - by buttons arranged in a row , as well as a hill descent assist system. I will not go into the intricacies of controlling the system and how it works, I will only note that it (in the case of a correctly selected mode) ensures that the ESP will not “strangle” the engine when you need to move with slipping, will not allow the wheels to turn when it is really harmful, and will help to cope with diagonal hanging.

Naturally, "Freelik" has its own limit. For example, he really does not like deep ruts, and if you lay the car on the inter-rut bump so that it hangs all four paws, then you have nothing left to do but run after the tractor. In general, off-road it is recommended to include not only Terrain Response, but also the head.

“Urban cross-country ability” can not even be discussed: neither curbs, nor yards covered with uncleaned snow and parking areas are an obstacle for this car.

Summing up, we can say that the new owner of the Freelander 2 should be prepared for certain financial costs (especially since since 2015 the only source for buying this model can only be the secondary market). Based on this, "Freelik" should not be bought with the last money, otherwise the owner may suffer severe disappointment. But in any case, there are still more reasons to love this car than reasons to hate, and financial investments in it pay off with amazing confidence that you experience in any road conditions and driving comfort.

Do you rather love or hate Freelander 2?

There are many stories in the used car world where a successor was undervalued because the predecessor was not reliable enough. All this was fully felt by the Land Rover Freelander.

The first Freelander was created by the British in the era of chaotic BMW management. Ford took over the second generation. The car was assembled in a new factory with a high degree of automation. The ultimate goal - to do away with the past - has largely been achieved.

Against the background of classmates Land Rover Freelander 2 has an outstanding off-road potential. However, it can hardly be considered an SUV. Rather, he is representative. family crossover. In accordance with the SUV status, the Briton has a self-supporting body, high weight and is able to pull a 2-ton trailer.

Engines

According to mechanics, the Land Rover Freelander is one of the brand's least problematic models. Much credit for this is a good 2.2-liter turbodiesel with a return from 140 (TD4) to 190 hp. (SD4). By the way, the engine is the result of the joint work of Ford and Peugeot. What is interesting, despite different power, from any of them you can extract up to 190 hp. by changing the software. The cost of chip tuning is from 10 to 20 thousand rubles.

The main drawback of the PSA diesel is premature wear camshaft. The disease is typical for models collected before February 2008, but is sometimes observed in younger specimens.

Wear on the camshaft of the 2.2-liter turbodiesel on the drive side of the high pressure fuel pump. The cost of restoration repairs will be about 30-35 thousand rubles.

IN diesel engines assembled before 2011, there was a risk of the swirl flaps in the intake manifold breaking. An unpleasant surprise could happen after 100-150 thousand km. Cases are known when the remains of the dampers damaged the valves and the piston bottom. After the intake manifold was upgraded.

In addition, there are leaks from under the intake manifold and problems with the particulate filter. Oil leaks indicate clogging of the crankcase ventilation system. Worse yet, the oil ends up in the recirculation system. exhaust gases(EGR) and particulate filter, and disables them.

After 150-200 thousand km, the turbocharger and injectors are surrendered, and bulkheads may require a starter and generator. However, there are those who have overcome more than 250,000 km without serious problems.

3.2-liter gasoline aspirated R6 with a return of 233 hp less widespread than the turbodiesel. It is curious that he was "shoved" across. Owners leave rave reviews for the power reserve and smooth ride of Volvo's inline-six SUV. Among the advantages of the unit is a chain-type timing drive, with an almost eternal chain. All other engines received a toothed timing belt. Reliability comes at the cost of relatively high fuel consumption.

Since 2012, instead of 3.2 R6, a Ford gasoline 2-liter turbo engine with 240 hp has been installed. (Si4). There are few such modifications on the secondary market, and the cars themselves are still young to judge the reliability of new engines. In any case, there are no reports of serious shortcomings yet. Unless, the owners complain about the exorbitant fuel appetite - up to 18-20 liters in the city.

Transmission

Everything power units combined with a 6-speed Japanese "automatic" Aisin. The box received mediocre reviews from other brands, but Land Rover services did not encounter any problems. The only thing mechanics pay attention to is the need for regular oil updates. True, the recommended replacement interval of 240,000 thousand km should be reduced to 60,000 km. To replace, you need 7 liters transmission fluid with a total cost of about 6-9 thousand rubles. If the procedure is neglected, then over time, wear products clog the oil channels of the mechatronics. Along the way, the torque converter can also catch on. Full overhaul Automatic transmission will cost 100-150 thousand rubles. Agree, it is cheaper and easier to change the oil in the box every 60,000 km than to repair it.

Interesting fact. In the assortment of the model there are even options with a drive only to the front axle, but they are rare on the market. These are the basic front-wheel drive diesel versions with 150 hp. They were equipped with a 6-speed mechanical box Getrag gear - M66 from Volvo. M66 is distinguished by endurance and durability.

In the bulk of the Land Rover Freelander 2 all-wheel drive. The third-generation Swedish Haldex coupling is responsible for the direct distribution of traction along the axes. Since July 2008, they began to install the clutch fourth generation. Both systems are reliable, but require maintenance every 60,000 km (an oil and filter change is required - about 3,000 rubles).

Frequent off-road driving can damage the rear differential bearing. Comprehensive repairs will pull 30,000 rubles.

The all-wheel drive transmission is controlled by the proprietary Terrain Response system. The round switch allows you to select a preset driving mode, which for each specific situation provides the most optimal settings for the operation of the accelerator, automatic transmission and center differential.

Before buying, you should check the condition of the rear supports. cardan shaft. This element is non-separable. The cost of a new cardan assembly with supports is about 60,000 rubles.

Chassis

The front levers are quite hardy. But when the turn of replacement comes, you will have to pay at least 15,000 rubles for the original. Fortunately, analogues are cheaper - from 6,000 rubles. Wheel bearings can hum after 150-200 thousand km.

Body and interior

Despite its decent size, adults do not have enough legroom in the back. But few models will allow you to install three child seats here at once.

In the second generation, the British abandoned the 3-door version of the body, leaving only the 5-door. The crossover was offered in several trim levels: from the simplest version of the "E" with air conditioning and fabric upholstery, to the top "HSE" with leather, wooden inserts and bi-xenon light.

Finishing materials of average quality. This is how the steering wheel looks after real 140 thousand km. And after a few years, the glazing of the headlights becomes cloudy.

A very large key has the same problems as finishing materials: it loses its presentation extremely quickly.

One of the disadvantages of the Land Rover Freelander is the lack of corrosion protection on inside thresholds.

Wheel arch seals are made of plastic and aluminium. Over time, they become severely deformed. The cost of a new seal is about 1000 rubles, plus replacement work.

Among the flaws, one can note leaks through an additional brake light at the top of the rear door.

Electrician

The only thing that Freelander could not surpass itself in is the reliability of electrics and electronics. Owners have to deal with premature discharge battery. Those who rarely travel are especially affected. A noticeable drop in capacity occurs already on the sixth day of downtime in summer time, and on the third - in the winter. Apparently, electricity is "sucked out" by complex electronics.

Stops working sometimes navigation system. Often the reason is trivial. You just need to clean the antenna connector.

Sometimes the door locks fail - they do not unlock or lock. The castle will cost 12,000 rubles, and it will take about an hour to work.

Conclusion

Many people say that they will never buy a Land Rover because the British brand is the source of problems. But did he stay second Freelander 2 a thoroughbred Englishman? During a detailed inspection, more than a dozen "FoMoCo" (Ford Motor Company) symbols can be found, both on the engine and on the suspension. diesel engine from France, and the petrol R6 from Sweden. The clutch is the same from Sweden, and the machine is from Japan. Platform - the same that got Ford Kuga and Volvo XC60. It looks like Land Rover has done a good job of getting the Freelander 2 rid of the nasty aftertaste left by its predecessor. Even if with someone else's help. In any case, mechanics specializing in British SUVs are sure that in terms of reliability, this is one of best models brand. However, repair and maintenance costs are still high.
