What to know about the Aisin automatic in a Land Rover Freelander 2

  • The article's infobox lists a “6-speed Aisin AWF21 automatic” for the Freelander 2, which it gives model years 2007–2015. It does not say which engines are paired with it, so we confirm yours from the VIN.[1]
  • The same Aisin AWF21 family is listed in other makers' cars (Ford Mondeo 2007–2011, Mazda6, Mazda CX-7), which is why parts and fluid are ordered by the gearbox, not the badge.[2]

What the service includes

Static service, from £399:

  • Road test with live data before we start and again before handover
  • Pan off and filter renewed where the design allows, with a new seal and bolts where specified
  • The fluid specified for your gearbox code, by part number
  • Level set by the method the gearbox calls for, with the fluid at the specified temperature read from live data
  • Adaptations reset, leak check, and the work recorded against your car

Dynamic fluid exchange, from £799: everything above, plus our machine connected into the cooler circuit to renew the fluid in the torque converter and cooler circuit, not just what drains from the pan. Dynamic exchange prices and booking · How the dynamic exchange works →

The Rootes Standard

What you get on every job

Not extras, and not only on the big jobs. This is how every car is looked after at Rootes Motors, from an oil service to a gearbox.

  1. Fixed price in writing before we start

    You get a fixed price in writing before any work begins. If we find anything else, we send you photos and a link to approve or decline it — nothing extra is done without your yes.

  2. 12-month warranty on parts we supply

    12-month warranty on parts we supply (wear items and consumables excluded), and every job is road-tested and checked before handover.

  3. Covers on, clean overalls, every car

    A seat cover, steering-wheel cover and floor mat go into every car before we touch it, and we work in clean overalls — never in a customer's car in dirty clothes.

  4. A warm, dry waiting room with coffee

    On a while-you-wait job you sit in a warm, dry waiting room with a coffee — not stood outside in the cold and rain.

  5. Paperless, with every job on record

    Booking is paperless. Every job is recorded against your car, and we email you the documents confirming the work completed.

  6. Automatic service and MOT reminders

    Every registered customer gets automatic service and MOT reminders by email, so a due date never slips past.

  7. MOT arranged on our street

    We arrange your MOT at the DVSA-approved test centre on our street, take the car there and back, and fix anything that fails.

Questions we get asked

Which gearbox does the Freelander 2 have?

Automatic Freelander 2s have the six-speed Aisin AWF21. Send us your registration and we confirm it before quoting.

How often should a Freelander 2 gearbox be serviced?

Our own advice is around every 60,000 miles on average, sooner for towing or off-road use. Many were treated as filled for life.

Is this the same gearbox as a Range Rover?

No. The larger Land Rovers use ZF gearboxes, which we service as well. See our ZF gearbox pages.

How much is a Aisin automatic gearbox service on a Land Rover Freelander 2?

A static service (drain and fill, level set at the correct fluid temperature) is from £399, and a dynamic fluid exchange on our machine is from £799, both priced to your car. The price moves with which Aisin automatic version it has, the pan and filter part and how much has to come off to reach it. Give us your registration and we confirm a fixed price in writing before we start.
