Hi all, turns out my driver's side window motor is knackered. Thought it was the switch but turns out there is power getting to the motor but it ain't doing anything. Anyhow, I've previously replaced the regulator mechanism, what I'm trying to find out is if it possible to get the motor out...

Hi guys. My driver's door window has packed up and I think it's the window ECU as the other windows work fine, seems to be a common problem when power is not getting to just one window. Does anyone know where the window ECU is on a 2005 MY 5 door. Rave says it's located behind the driver's...

Hi all. Got a strange problem with my 54 plate TD4. Lost all power on the motorway last week, managed to limp home and put it on diagnostics, no codes stored. So unplugged the MAF and it was like a different car so assumed MAF sensor. Fitted a new genuine Bosch sensor which has cured the...

Hi all, wondering if anyone can help please. My TD4 AC stopped working one day. Took it to be regassed, was told the system was full already but as the machine was automatic it did its thing and replaced the gas as well as vacuum test. Not faults logged and correct amount of gas in the...

Hi all, does anyone know the part number for the AC compressor on a 2005 TD4, want to get one of eBay today but my car is currently in the garage. Also it looks like the pump of a rover 75 will fit, if so there's more of these and they seem cheaper. Cheers Simon

Morning all. Looking to get a lift kit and new wheels and tyres for my FL1. A 40mm lift looks the best option as it less work, will I need camber bolts with this? I'm going to get some 16" moduars and fit some Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tyres, what's the biggest I can go to with these? I'll...

Hi all not been on for a while. Got a problem with my TD4 taking forever to start when warm. The HP fuel pump was leaking like a good un so I replaced this thinking I'd kill two birds with one stone. The pump is no longer leaking as expected but the warm start problem is still apparent. I...

Morning all, not been on for ages. Freelander is going well, just past MOT with no issues. The SRS light has come on, seems to do it every 6 months or so. Just wondering if anyone lives near North Wales that can reset the light for a few beer tokens before I buy an Icarsoft I930 Cheers Simon

Just a bit of fun I got a few comments this week on how dirty my car is so thought I'd start a post to see how dirty you can get em. Mine was washed Sunday, after 4 hard days this is how it looks now. Get your pics out, virtual pint for the dirtiest!

Evening all, just thought I'd show the results of my interior light upgrade. I'm a field engineer and at this time of year being in a field at 3 in the morning ain't much fun as it is. With the crap original lights making finding stuff difficult I decided to upgrade. I bought this kit...

I'm about to change both front shocks as the drivers side is goosed. Got some Monroe ordered, hopefully they'll be fine.. Anyway, as a precaution im changing the top mounts at the same time but I can't find the part number for the spacer that fits between the 3 bolts and the body in the engine...

Evening all. Since buying my latest FL I've had all sorts of braking issues. Main one was the incessant squealing driving me mad. As it had new discs and pads before I bought it I paid attention to the calipers. One was new and the other original. Upon investigation it seems the previous...

Evening, does anyone have the part number for a passenger mirror glass, heated and folding. Bust mine trying to get it out. I seem to recall they are a different fitment for the facelift. Cheers

Hi all. Looking at options for new tyres. The 225/55/17s that are fitted now have less choice and are more expensive than 225/65/17s. I have read that the 65 profile can be fitted without any mods and others say they can't. So, does anyone have a definitive answer to this, as in they've done...

Morning all, hopefully this is in the right place and I'm not breaking any posting rules. I'm thinking about changing my wheels to 16s as it gives me more choice of AT tyre. I was thinking along the lines of getting some modulars with tyres but I'm looking at about 500 quid all in for 4, which...

Needed to get the arch liner off to mod my FBH, as the screws were rusted I ended up cutting the heads off. I can find replacement stainless screws but wanted to replace the metal clip they screw into. Any ideas what they are called and where to buy them from? Cheers

Well, car back to the garage this morning due to LP pump leaking and I suspect the HP pump too. Patches of diesel on my drive by the offside rear wheel (very obvious it's the LP pump as the housing is soaking with diesel) and more concerning is the patch of diesel by the front offside wheel...

Evening all! Back in the land of Freelanders after a bit of time out. Got my mitts on a 2004 TD4 HSE, so far had new discs, calipers, brake lines all round, VCU, front prop, clutch and cylinders, drop links, anti roll bar bushes, rear diff bushes and a full service. These were courtesy of the...

I am always suprised when my little Landy does something I'm impressed with. On site yesterday and 1 of the lads I work with has a brand new company HiLux. Site we had to get to was up through a steep field with a muddy track. So colleague says I'll go first in case you get stuck, cue lots of...

Well my poor old Commercial died a death at 239000 miles, gutted I didn't get it to 250k! Anyway, after 1 week with a new shape Grand Vitara which I hated I'm back with a new Freelander :) It's a 2006 Sport which looks very nice and has 18" alloys. Question I have is it seems to sit higher...
