I'm on my second Freelander now and have just cured my dripping sunroof the same way as I cured my last one, it seems to happen after about 7 years old. Both cases for me have been cured by running a thin bead of clear outdoor grade silicone around the outside of the sunroof glass where it meets...

I too wondered what the sensor on the front was, I found it oily inside when I cleaned everything out as I detarred my EGR. (now running with EGR vac hose off and plugged, it's deffo better) It's either for flow or temp but I've never seen it referred to before until reading your post. Fingers...

I've just parted with my September 1997 XEDi, had for 7 years and couldn't fault it, it must have been one of the first hippos' to role off the line. It only needed what you would expect for a car of that age, ball joint, sunroof mechanism, battery and wiper motor. It still looked the bollocks...

What have Tracker said to you? I assume they can still know it's location even if the car is being moved with the keys in. I'm also keen to know as I've just treated my Freelander to one, just to get that warm feeling if some scumbag decides to take it for a ride.;):D

Nope, no satnav or cruise, well not found one yet anyway! I wore the sunroof out on my last one, I recall the repair was costly but not exactly something you can leave bust!!:)

Howardo, Are you aware of the water circuit mod that you can do to the L series (apologies if you do)? Basically reconfiguring a couple of hoses engine side of bulkhead to introduce the heater matrix into the block water circuit thus getting virtual instant heat in the cockpit. I never got...

Do any of you experts know what the Premium pack on an 04 TD4 Sport gives you that the normal TD4 Sport doesn't. All I have deduced so far is the addition of the sunroof and metallic paint and possibly full leather. ta!:confused:

My last one was a 1997 xedi, the water was getting behind the rear door roof gutter, down the inside of the rear door glass, behind the door card and then into the boot floor. Took ages to find, I cured it by running a bead of clear silicone along the existing roof gutter to roof rubber seal on...

Sorry matey, it's a 2004 facelift TD4 Premium, awesome spec compared to my L Series Montego engined Xedi Freelander diesel!!!!!!!!

I can't wait for a frosty mornin, just traded my 1997 Xedi for a TD4 with a heated screen, I loved my old one to bits but the TD4 is from another universe by comparison!

Hi, Does anybody know where the drains are for my sunroof as I would like to prove the clear. When it rains heavy I get drips on my seats as though the drains are blocked or restricted. I,ve had a gander and not spotted anything obvious, theres a small slot at the front end of each track but it...

I agree that knackered batteries can show themselves in the strangest of ways! You don't mention trying a spare fob as this would possibly eliminate the fob as a root cause. You can defeat the immobiliser by turning the drivers door lock with the key a set number of times, the proceedure is in...

Mines a 1997 and the plastic is more dark grey than Black, L.R. did them Black from 2001 onwards and they don't seem to fade. I tried the Forever Black first on the back door above the number plate light just as a tester but it really was a no brainer, the shade change to darker is just enough...

Look no further matey, check out Forever Black product on this link Accessories This stuff actually dyes the plastic black again, it's awesome, makes the bumpers look new again, dead easy to use, i redo it every 12m. I got my first lot from the states but then found them at motorgeek in the...
