Thanks for the advise. Bought the bmw part today and managed 10% discount :)

Hi, I have recently read that the crankcase breather filter is now recommended to be replaced every 12k miles. My freelander has done about 84k and I don't think it has ever been done :eek: As I have just had the freelander serviced I thought I'd take the opportunity to replace the...

Hi, Well the rear window packed in this evening refusing to close. So I've been hunting around the Internet for a new window regulator. I've noticed that you can get genuine ones for about £130 or aftermarket for about £60! Are the aftermarket ones any good or is it worth paying the extra for...

Hi, the time has come to replace the front brake discs on my 04 Freelander and looking on paddock spares I see there are a couple of options. One set are unamed discs with Mintex pads for £44.49 and Mintex discs with Mintex pads for £58.50. is it work paying the extra or will the cheaper ones...

Hi, that's exactly what's happening, forgot to mention the dimly lighting trailer light. It was a Lucas part towing relay, link and part number in earlier post. Sorry typing this on my iPhone which is not ideal. I have emailed the place I bought it from to ask for a replacement. I'll letyou...

Hi, it's a slow click. Also noticed the relay is clicking when I press the brake pedel. The flashers do work correctly when on and the extra clicking when the wipers are on stops. It's all very odd. Cheers Chris

Hi, I'm sure its the right one ... the one I bought is YWT10002L Cheers, Chris

Hi, yes, when I put the old relay back the clicking stops when the wipers are on. Cheers chris

Hi, I have just replaced the flasher relay on my freelander, as the indicators no longer flashed when on. However since doing this when the windscreen wipers are on there is a clicking noise coming from the new relay. Does this sound like a faulty relay or is there some other explanation...

Hi thanks for the replies. I have red/orange coolent in there at the moment. So as long as I top up with the same colour I should be ok? I don't have to use the same stuff that's already in there? Or is that determined by the colour? That would save time. As I thought I may have to...

Evening all, I have just noticed that the coolant level in my '04 Freelander (TD4) is below the minimum mark. Can I just top this up with any antifreeze/coolant or is there a specific one I should use? Cheers, Chris

Thanks for the replies. I may see if some gaffer tape does the job. If not then another £26 it is then :( Still a heck of a lot cheaper than getting the dealer to replace the electric window regulator :) Cheers, Chris

At the weekend I had to replace the electric window regulator on the back right door of my Freeland TD4 '04. Which was easier that I thought. :) However, although I put the plastic sheet back in place and used some gaffer tape where to repair any tares etc I am still getting water coming from...

Thanks all for the advice. I have replaced the pads and thank god I did. One of them was about just less than 2mm. :eek: So easy to do in the end. I have a slight squeal but I'm sure thats just the pads bedding in. Cheers, Chris

Blippie, thanks for the advice. I will keep those number handy. Whats up with Hunters? Have you had a bad experience? I only went to them as I bought the car from them last year and then they gave me a load of vouchers for £100 off servicing. However I did call them for a quote to replace the...
