I Bought A Land Rover in 2023 , was this a bad idea ? (turning this into a car camper!) 

Can’t go wrong with a Freelander, I’ve never owned any car for more than six months in my life.. bought a Freelander 2 six years ago and cannot imagine parting with it.. best car I’ve ever owned!! They will do everything from off road to towing caravans all day long, keep them maintained and they will never let you down 👍👍 great purchase 👍👍

Don’t take too much notice of the detractors who have invariably never stepped foot in a Landy, these FL2 are one of the best LR produced to date. True, they need more fettling than other 4x4’s, but keep on top of regular maintenance and they are pretty indestructible. Easy to work on at home, excellent parts supply, devoid of over-tech, great off-road and comfy cruisers. Great choice 🫡

I've had Freelander 2s for 8 years now and love it. Glad to see you got an automatic the Asin gearbox are strong but you need to change the fluid every 50000 miles and service regularly.

I’ve owned a 2011 LR2 in the US for 10 years….Has been a great vehicle and plan on keeping it until it dies….

People who have never owned an FL2 don't understand, 210k miles 2 cam belts and good servicing, love it would never change until it explodes lol, but do have a have a bag of spanners available, it's a land rover thing... love them....

I've had a 2007 Freelander 2 for over 4 years and its never let me down on and off road. They are the most reliable land rover they make

I cant wait to get started with this new chapter, also if you can please help a brother out and LIKE the video and a wee Subscribe too if you haven't already , muchas gracias ! ♥

Nice freelander mate, nice spec too. They are actually really good, I had a freelander 1 for 10 years, all good, now have a freelander 2 and absolutely love it. They do become a hobby rather than just transport and if you have an open mind and repair it when necessary then you'll get on just fine with it. One tip, change the oil every 6 months, ( proper jlr spec) and only use genuine fuel filters (every 2 years). Ok that's 2 tips. I'm just outside Edinburgh so I'll give you a toot if I see you 👍. (Black sd4 hse) oh and I highly recommend whites autos in dalry ( indie LR specialist) for any work,. Great video, can't wait to see more. Cheers.

I've always had land-rover. A disco td5 which lasted me around 13 years and now a freelander 2 metropolis which I've had 3 years with no issues. Those who've had or driven land-rovers love them and those who slate them haven't in my opinion. As long as you love them and service them they're your best friend. Enjoy

I pick up mine today, your videos sealed the deal for me. Great stuff thanks 😊

I too picked up a Freelander 2 in 2023, a 2012 SD4 HSE and loving it so far. I have always had the car camping dream but with a young family around it is mostly vicarious. Nice video, as an Indian expat here, the punjabi music had me hooked 😂

Interesting, we went from a CR-V to a Freelander 2. Preferred the FL2, just felt more rugged. Both were great to drive though. From what I remember Honda and Land Rover were working on a common vehicle, then towards the end they went their separate ways. Honda came out with the CR-V and LR came out with the Freelander. We sold our FL2 years ago, but recently picked up another and intend to keep it for many, many years.

Great little video and the car looks great 👍 Look forward to following your adventures All the best

Had Land Rovers 25 years ( still have a TD5 ) bought a FL2 with a little fear as the FL1 was not the best . 4.5 years later , one set of front discs plus regular servicing , best Land rover ever built , even John Craddocks said they sell nothing for them other than general spares. Don't treat it like a golf gti and don't pull the arse off it , will last years . In fact one on A/T for £22k !!!

Love watching your videos Jack, can't wait to see the transformation of your new "home"😊👍 Good luck and many more exciting adventures ahead of you!🌿☀

Dealers don't like credit cards as they offer a lot more buyer protection if the car proves faulty. It's easy for a CC company to get their money back than for your bank transfer.

Just watched a couple of your vids and enjoyed them I’m also an freelander owner and have spent 2 trips camping in it , Xmas in highlands ❤ I’ll be watching to see your conversion and see what i can improve on 👍

Freelancers they should've never stopped the production of, they ain't a bad motor, instead they swapped it for the Range Rover Voque which has been nothing but drama and problems. FL has been one of the most reliable Land Rovers ever made in my opinion and experience.

Just about to buy a Freelander 2 HSE automatic. I’m really looking forward to getting it as it will be my first experience of land rover ownership.

Oh my goodness!!! What have you done Jack?? Only messing pal! 😂😂 ….. it’ll be great once you have it how you need it!

Jack my boy so joyful and so handsome great to see ya in that Ride. Keen to see more bro love seeing what you’re up to

Freelander needs more fettling than other 4x4s? I dont think thats true.... Try owning a VW tiguan, audi q5 or bmw x3.... They all have big issues and troubles..... I think a well maintained freelander with regular oil change on diff... will be chaper to run than the others.....

I've had three landrovers/range rovers. The Freelander2 was excellent. The Disco4 and the Range Rover sport were junk.

Hey Jack, thanks for the video! How is it going so far? I am considering to buy the Freelander 2 but 2009 model. Are you happy so far with yours?

I suspect they don't like credit cards because if you use them to pay for goods, you have consumer rights.

Awe ra best for the new car everything will be fine 😊..take care..Billy

Looks a nice car jack look forward to your adventures 😎👍👍

I have 201000 miles on my TD4 2006 facelift. Even if you spend £1000 a year on service and repairs.

I'll look forward to seeing your freelander build .

Love the Freelander2 but could not find nice one ending up with crv all wheel drive nice cars 👍👍

Doesn't get more British than this haha :D

Great motors! Ps what headphones you wearing I like them 😂

All car marks have lemons, I’ve got a Range Rover Evoque .5 years no problems.yet

Nice car. Looking forward to the build. 🙄

Wife love's here's had it 5 years ❤

Any time is a bad time to buy a landrover.

The "drama" was the universe telling you to not buy it. Freelanders are the most unrealiable LR and that's saying something.
