I'm becoming addicted to these High Peak videos and I'm so pleased to see there are such honest dealers around. Most of the dealers I've known would never have been so decent as to replace the cambelt. Much easier to tick a box on the service records and 'who would ever know?' Well done, I'd buy a car from you if I needed one.

@djwarren5081 Год назад

They are certainly more entertaining than most of the programmes on TV.

@stephenhulbert3500 Год назад

Agreed Barry. I'm addicted too! My request for a future video is a 'how do I film these videos?' video :)

@phillipwilliams4674 Год назад

Probably why Mat has not only remained in business, but prospered. I'm sure his reputation is his greatest asset, after all, his business sense is questionable when he continues to spend out on lost causes!

@jamesshephard2013 Год назад

What a shame someone has left it get so bad. The FL2s are fantastic motors, I've had two great ones. Glad you mentioned the key repair; I'm picking up a 'new' car next week and it needs a replacement shell so I've now got in touch with the guys at KeyFax. And £60k to use Autotrader per year??? Wow, I wouldn't have guessed it to be so high as that!! Loved the euphemism Matt but doesn't conjure up the nicest of images of you sat at your desk in your office! Lol

@kipper841 Год назад

Seriously, are there any other car dealers out there like you Matt? Great video, the more you got irritated in the first half the more I smiled - your integrity is a shining example to other dealers who are clearly not like you! They can learn a lot from your approach and ethics.

@archechme Год назад

I'd say that was worth it. Seems like a good all around motor for £5400. Plus, it doesn't have tons of gadgets and gizmos to go wrong, seems like a base model.

@jdmsnowmonkey7913 Год назад

I remember when I was a kid, my parents bought a new base spec Freelander 2 in 2008 on a typical 3 year PCP deal. In those 3 years the power steering pump went and the manual gearbox began to pop out of reverse, eventually refusing to go into reverse altogether. They've now got a 2017 Disco Sport and, credit where it's due, that car's never given them any trouble in 5 years and the fit and finish of that is night and day compared to the Freelander 2. My Mum still loved the Freelander 2, though, so it was doing something right.

@_chipchip Год назад

Incredibly brave going from a Freelander 2 then t a disco sport.. especially given it’s largely the same platform!

@aquatics117 Год назад

I can already tell you that smell will come back and the nicotine stains will also come back through the headlining when the weather gets colder Headlining needs to be replaced and underneath it cleaned as the nicotine perments through it onto the metal. I work in detailing and we get this a lot when people have brought cars and then 3 months down the line it stinks and the roof had turned yellow

@davetaylor5501 Год назад

As an owner of a Freelander 2 I laughed when you gave yourself a budget of £1500! On mine there's a sticker inside the passenger front door with the colour on, mine's Stornoway too. They're lovely cars to drive but after a certain age they get Range Rover expensive

@driftplayz9683 Год назад

The Freelander 2 one of my favourite cars ever manufactured ❤

Many Thanks for this video. After running Discos for the last 17 years, (only 2), a TD5 and a Disco3. Im now facing a massive MOT bill for more than the vehicle is worth and thought about a Freelander2 as a less costly alternative. Will take your words of wisdom forward with me when finding my next Landy.

@garethdavies7450 Год назад

While some of your videos maybe short, we still appreciate the time and effort to make them, see you next Sunday

@DaleSteel Год назад

Those 2.2D are bullet proof. There's 2 type. One with a chain that doesn't need changing until 250k. The newer ones have belts. Cost £270 to change. However the engine is solid. Is basically a old transit engine

@alundavies5171 Год назад

Dual mass and clutch are the problem

@DaleSteel Год назад

@alundavies5171 I imagine so they had same issue with the x type but the actual engine is one of the very best it really is

@r7coo Год назад

Which one doesn't have the belt ? I had a 56 plate , so a very early one - it had a belt , my current 11 plate also has a belt .

@DaleSteel Год назад

@r7coo I'm not sure with the LR cars. I know on the jaguars upto 2010. I imagine it will be the lower power ones upto 160bhp. It seems the more powerful ones have a belt instead of chain.

@garywinterbottom6073 Год назад

The hdi Peugeot unit ahh I thought they had BMW unit in them from 320d.

@adamkightley Год назад

Literally watching this video as soon as you mentioned Rumble I immediately said in my head diff my dad had a freelander 2 like this and had 4 tyres 2 wheel bearings before the diff was checked.

@305abyss Год назад

Hey Mat, huge fan of the channel. I really love every minute of your videos. They actually taught me to treat my cars a bit better. Can you do a video maybe after 3 months or 6 months showing all the cars you sold and those that are still left? I mean it could be nice content.

@georgerush3865 Год назад

At a minimum you have a well sorted bit of inventory to display, demonstrating your commitment to offering quality automobiles to potential buyers. While not likely to give you a solid monetary profit, it will pay dividends in good will to at least some potential customers.

@daveharriott692 Год назад

Great video, as always, Matt. I did my apprenticeship at a jaguar Land Rover dealership many years ago. In my time, i've owned many cars, but i never owned anything with the green oval badge.

@andysummers2936 Год назад

I actually had a Mk 1 freelander which I flipping loved to bits. Miss it

@BlackStallione Год назад

10:10 Matt, I always tell the same to my parents with their cars, well I used to a lot of times until I got my own car now I look after mine with regular services, parts replacing, fluids etc. They only see the financial side of things like impacts and such but ignore the fact that their cars are road hazards that are dangerous to even get in and drive, not to mention they are always dirty and have stains all the time. The worst thing is me, as a son, I can't do anything I keep reminding them but they wont listen 😭😭

@dylanmajoos1861 Год назад

Thanks Matt for doing this! I know your profits aren't great for this one. But it makes for great entertainment and its amazing to see that a car is saved.

@ceesmith Год назад

On the plus side you've contributed to keeping multiple businesses going with the 3k+ spend and got it back on the road in great order.

@warren6815 Год назад

It's been a good save for this Freelander 2, especially considering the vile state it was when you first got it. Always think it's sad when a car ends up in that sort of state, especially as it's pretty low mileage too. Shouldn't be any reason why whoever buys it can't get another 100k trouble free miles out of it now with some TLC and regular maintenance.

@djwarren5081 Год назад

It looked more like a skip on wheels than a vehicle. Great job by Matt to give it some TLC.

@Brian-om2hh Год назад

@@djwarren5081 Agreed. You do need to pick your vehicles carefully if you are going to do this sort of thing. For example, the effort and new parts would have been wasted, had it been a Focus of similar age. The Freelander, even at this age, still has a whiff of cred......

@rb9580 Год назад

Absolutely! But regular maintenance will need to include at least one more diff recon in that period, several sets of brake discs and these rear wheel bearings will need replacing sooner or later. My FL2 is now at 200k miles, so I've been down this road! 🙂

@flyme195 Год назад

Just sold my Freelander 2, with em, FULL service history 😂. Little fyi for you. If (usually) the boot release switch is broken, you can open the boot by pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the dash together at the same time, push both and hold and it will open the boot. Also, and this isn’t a plug, there is a company called Bell Engineering that specialises in Land Rover. They sell reconditioned diffs for the FL2 and so long as you send them back your old one, you get a discounted price

@jimhutton4352 Год назад

I had a freelander, it will go down in our families history as the worse car we’ve ever owned. Quite literally a different fault appeared every single time we used it. They’re like a very cheap Chinese copy of a Tonka toy, they look the part but they aren’t fit for purpose. I fixed and fixed and fixed it for approximately 18 months until enough was enough when I sold it for a massive lose, just wanting to wash my hands of it. When the buyer came to see it, I literally threw them the keys, said ‘it’s a bag of sh*t’ and closed the door on them, this high pressure sales tactic obviously worked because I never saw that bag of nails again.

@p.g1409 5 месяцев назад

Next time buy a Freelander 2

@UnusSedLeo-w5l Год назад

Each year I spend at least 600 Euro to keep my little Renault alive and kicking (doing only 7K in km's a year). Change brake fluid, change airco gas, change filters and oil and repair stuff that otherwise ends up on 'the list of horror', with the invitation to 'massively overspend'. Really can't see the point of owning a car and not looking after it. You saved this one Matt, it was doomed. Love this channel more and more. Keep it up!

@H.K_R Год назад

The Freelander 2 that everyone really wants is the Metropolis (The last edition), fully loaded including an 18 speaker Meridian speaker system, dual sunroof, heated leather seats and steering wheel, dvd player, the list goes on. Shame that they do suffer from reliability issues including ours needing a full spinal rewiring by LR HQ that took 4 months to complete and one of the rear doors failing to open from the outside due to a dodgy rear handle.

@r7coo Год назад

I've had Freelander 2's for 13 years they are seriously underrated cars & they are just the right size. Every time I think of selling mine I am never sure what to replace it with ?

@theblackswordsmanguts Год назад

Discovery sport or velar if you can afford

'ive massively overspent...' The famous quote from Matt Goodwin. Never gets old. NIce video matt!

@mariemccann5895 Год назад

That backyard shyster Chops gets his MOT place to leave off the advisories 'by arrangement' so its easy to get a ticked with no advisories on it when its loaded.

@HighPeakAutos Год назад

I've never met Chops but I have had some interaction with him and I very much doubt that is true. He strikes me as a decent guy trying to make an honest living. I'm guessing from your comment you've bought an older car which has developed a fault - not exactly Chops' fault. If I'm wrong here by the way, then I apologise; I'm just reading between the lines.

@ninoprovini6863 Год назад

My parents owned a brand new TD4 HSE in beige from 2011 and they loved it until they had to go to the dealer every week for electrical issues… so sad it was awesome especially with a trailer and during winter vacations.

@chriswilkes4350 Год назад

You did spend a lot of money, but it's now a beautiful car. I have an LR2 from the same year, and with careful maintenance, it's going great. It has a Volvo engine which the mechanic says is a great engine, and should last 400K with proper maintenance. Does anyone know about the 2008 Discovery. I think it's the UK branding for the LR2, and if so, it probably has the Volvo engine, but I may be wrong.

@Haines9032 Год назад

Thanks for your videos Matt - brillaint quality as ever. Not sure if it's not already been done by yourself - but would be great to see a video specific to all things tyres (brands to avoid/have generally, part-worns yay/nay etc etc), thanks!

@vickybatchelor6858 Год назад

I know you've massively overspent, Matt 😬 but I'm so glad you saved this freelander. I've got one and I love it 😀

We have a 2008 Freelander 2 (93000 miles) and a 2018 Disco 5 (12000 miles) When I am just popping down to the shops it tends to be the Freelander keys I reach for. Something about those cars that just makes you love driving them.

I was a bobby in a rural area and we had these to replace our Nissan Terranos. We didn't think anything could be worse than the Terranos. How wrong we were!

@random-person1 Год назад

hi Matt. for future reference, and if you cant unlock the boot the conventional way (09:55), simply press and hold the lock/unlock buttons on the centre console. 3 seconds should do it and then the boot will unlock. this car is the same year/spec as mine, or possibly the next one up as there is a lighter plug in the boot and mine doesnt have one!

@random-person1 Год назад

also, 10:25. if the steer wheel looks as bad as that one does (mine is just as bad), just get a wheel cover. i have one on mind and you cant tell the wheel is battered to bits!

Love your all-in-one format Matt, nobody else does it better (that I have found). You new it was a nail at the beginning, you should have followed your instinct and bashed it out trade the next day and got your money back. I wonder if there is a course of motor trader advice available somewhere?

Hello Again, Matt, you are a real autotrader but also pay the 'Auto Trader' costs, it may seem a high cost but they are the best, the Freelander looks really good. Regards. RichardA.

@ciaranmurray4301 Год назад

Land Rovers are one thing and maybe it’s a combination of all the issues that have set you over the edge, but I don’t see any harm in going 1,000 miles past when your service is due. If I had planned on trading my car I’d probably would do 1,200 past the service day.

Steering issues with Rack on these is common whining Steering pump is the clue... I flushed Mine through with Steering fluid a couple of times 5yrs ago and replaced pump no problems with it since.... I love My Freelander 2 but the Rear suspension is on its last legs and needs rebuilding with all new parts.... a time consuming job and barely worth it for 14yrs although otherwise car is strong with 95k miles.

@jonnyandvonny Год назад

Hi Matt. Totally agree with everyone's comments on here. Really impressive, helpful, well produced and entertaining videos. Despite the Freelander 2 being a design that is over 15 years old, I really like it, and have always had a soft spot for them and would love to have one.I am coming back to ownership after having (get this) a Jaguar Ipace for the last 2 years on lease. So why I hear you ask would I want to go back in time for a vehicle that potentially is going to kick me occasionally, where it hurts with issues? The answer is, that I am through with leasing and need a good workhorse that I'm not worried about every time I park it up in a supermarket. I'm looking to maybe get a late 2013 or 2014 HSE model. There seem to be loads on MarketPlace and Autotrader. Do I need to worry about high mileage ones or stick to something low mileage. My budget will be about 10k in the new year. Thanks . Jon

@Grahame59 Год назад

Another excellent video, entertaining and informative. You didn't mention the steering wheel - I see it still has the one that looks like it's been chewed by a dog. Totally agree with you re smoking. I don't smoke but even if I did I would never smoke in a car. It's just too small a space and would quickly discolour and stink, as this car has done.

@paultasker7788 Год назад

That situation with the keys is more common. People know they get more money for 2 keys so buy a cheap lookalike from a scrapped car. Assume people will only test one out or assume the battery is flat in the second one. Indeed looks like I might be victim of such as scam. I sent the spare key off to get battery replaced (how ridiculous is the process for this in a second gen mini! Needs to be soldered to the motherboard). Got it back and still does nothing whatsoever. Odd thing is though the key bit that fits inside the fob clearly has the same lock so hopefully just needs reprogramming

Don't lose too much sleep about the Auto Trader ratings.
