Ibzy, you have to tick certain boxes on here before your question gets taken seriously. First you must introduce yourself on this thread - wow you have done that, excellent. Then you must ignore those whose first reaction even here is to take the ****. Try and do that, it's dead easy.

Then ask your specific question on the Freelander board. You will still get some "I'm funny arent I" answers but you will also get some good advice from other owners.

Good luck.
