Answer
Hi Thomas,

so your engine cuts out after warming up.  It could be a failing spark amplifier module.  When they overheat they can give the problem you describe.  There are kits available to relocate the spark amplifier module to avoid overheating.

Leave your freelander with LR and have them run the vehicle longer.  Clearly, a problem exists and they are not patient enough to do a thorough search.  Now's the time to raise your voice with the service manager.  

Best of luck,
