your symptoms sound like mine that started yesterday. Am taking to my trusted garage so good to know what to suggest might be wrong

Link brilliant thanks. Lots of ideas :-)

Has anyone ever fitted a rear pull out canopy on a freelander 1? Or added a rear car tent Or converted to a camper van? Or am I just dreaming!!!!:rolleyes:

I've used the car plan black car wax and it works a treat. The car looks younger :-) see what you mean about turning your skin the same colour even wearing gloves it somehow managed to get through. Oddly enough it hasn't made my hands look younger :o

Ouch! Thanks for warning If I didn't love my freelander so much i'd buy a camper van. I've fitted shelves in the back and am wondering about extending the back somehow when parked up. Maybe a canopy or fast erecting awning :confused:

Looks great. Where does the gas bottle go? I have wondered about carrying a camping stove but am worried about the gas bottles in a hot car. Being optimistic about good weather :-) What do you do when it rains? sorry so many questions! ;)

I've done something similar in my boot but now wondering if its possible to fit a canopy or some shelter to the back so i can brew a cuppa or cook when raining? Any thoughts out there?

thanks Guys will give it a try
