I have managed to get myself a 3 door parcel shelf but it is in Smoke Stone colour and my interior is black, is it possible to dye, paint or change the colour to black, if so what is recommended?

Well I have wanted a parcel shelf for my 3 door but didn't really want to pay the silly prices people have been asking for them so I thought sort my own out, shouldn't be too difficult. I have gone down the fit a roller cover from a 5 door to it, first thing I found was that the distance...

Hi, I have a 2006 Facelift TD4 which I have a noise on the rear passengers side, the only way I can describe it is like a spare wheel rattles in a boot if it isn’t bolted down. I have only just replaced all the suspension and bush on it, and it has only started since. I have checked every nut...

What is it with parts suppliers and their delivery costs, the part I want is £2.20 yet all of the parts companies want a minimum of £4.95 to post it, I appreciate there is the cost of a small Jiffy bag involved about 30p then 1st class postage about £1.00, possibly cheaper if you have a franking...

As some may have seen I have done quite a bit to my 2006 Freelander TD4 to try and keep it well for many years to come. I have removed all the hubs cleaned them and replaced the wheel bearings in them, on starting it up fir the first time I now have more lights on the dashboard than a tree at...

I have had the hippo just over a year now and still enjoy it as much as the day I picked it up, 2006 TD4. As always there are little jobs to do here and there on it so I have started to give it a bit of love and attention that it needs. I had a new clutch put in it earlier this year and the...

I have serviced the Hippo this weekend and have checked the tyres and 2 of them have cracks in the tread going most of the way around. They have only done 7000 miles and still have over 5mm of tread on them and only been fitted for 2 years. Goodyear 215 65 16. I know the general idea is to have...

2005 TD4 Having problems with the OBD socket, I have power and earths, ABS and Immobiliser read but I can't get anything from the EDM. Looking at the wiring diagram the pink wires from the EDM go into a Header number 0292? Does anyone have any idea where this is located?

Hi All 2005 TD4 Freelander 1 I have the emissions EML light on since I ran low on diesel. I have tried various scanners including an icarsoft and nothing comes up with a code so I can't reset the light. Has anyone come across this problem and how do you reset the light? Any help would be...

Hi Have had the engine management light come on on my 2004 Facelift TD4. I have purchased a iCarsoft LR V2 diagnostic tool thinking I would be able to see what is wrong, every time I connect it it says Link Error so I can't get a code off it. Is the diagnostic tool not suitable for this model...

Does anyone know if the 4 bolts that hold the propshaft carrier bearings to the body are anything special or just normal 8mm?

I have always been in to my car stereos, I like to be able to listen to music above the sound of the engine. Looking around the Freelander I was struggling to see what could be done as the doors looked to be a bit of a challenge. (3 door Facelift). First thing I did was strip the door cards...

I am fitting a A Bar to the front on my FL1 and I can't think what the fixings are called, Item H and I in the diagram. It must be old age I think.

Well I have finally found one, 2006 TD4 93k and just had new clutch and tyres. Pick it up on Saturday. First question is that it has got metal panels in the roof where most I have seen have glass panels, is this something that can easily be swapped over?

Just been to have a look at a TD4 3 door auto and all was going well until I looked under the car and there was no propshaft. If I was to get a replacement are they all the same, ie 3 door, 5 door manual and auto? I know all about the risk but the price was ok and this was the only major bit...

:mad:I have spent the last month looking for a 2004 on, 3 door FL1 that isn’t dropping to bits. I don’t mind a bit of work but some of the cars out there are silly money for real basket cases, or is it I am looking in the wrong place? Looked at one yesterday £2000 it was advertised for prop...

Looking for a 3 door Freelander 1 TD4 would be 1st option but would consider a 1.8 if the belt has been done. Must have had the Viscous Coupling changed on the prop. Must be all working or have the parts with it to fix it. I am in the DE13 postcode (Burton On Trent) but am willing to travel a...

For sale, my 1990 Defender 90 200tdi Pick Up In Rover Nightfire Red Pearl, showing 121,000 miles but completely irrelevant on this Landrover. I had this for 4 years before it came to the stage of needing a new chassis, a brand-new galvanised Richards Chassis was purchased and then the hard...

Can anyone help me with this one, brother in law has found this on the farm he works at and was wondering what it is off, I know it is not a defender so would suggest it is a series item. I have asked him to measure the length of the roof for me to see if that helps. His question then is "Is it...

200tdi Engine. Just taken the intake manifold off so I can get the the starter and one on the ports is very dirty, not sure if oil or carbon but looks like oil. Any one have any ideas as to the cause?
