What have you done to your Freelander today

Oh and to get the fuel filter out of the plastic housing, If you have kids with a garden trampoline use the tool for installing the springs (hook with a handle bar on) make a hole in the filter and then put it between your feet and hook it straight out. Easy peasy!

Took a 180 mile round trip in order to return my 99'er to the deal for water loss issues, 'pulsing' brakes and a mapping blip (it increases its revs when in idle without touching the throttle) Got a courtesy vehicle -1.6 Astra- that goes like poop off a shovel when you hit its apparent rev-band (3000+ rpm) If I were tempted to drive it like I stole it then methinks I could have some fun with this nibble little family tool. Fortunately for the dealership, however, as a mature individual I've long since curtailed such behaviour...

...I ride motorcycles like I stole them instead as it focuses the mind, purifies the soul and exercises the instincts :hysterically_laughin

This is a serious violation of the use of artistic licence as no bloody Freelander goes anything remotely like a rocket...unless you've grafted a Phantom engine onto the existing lump

You missed a bit on the bonnet....hold on, no...sorry...that's a spot on my computer screen!

changed the centre section of the exhaust cos it was britpart and broke

replaced for free though

it was only 9 months old

after using a garden hose to find out how water came in and instead of spending £58,63 + VAT for ELD100671 - REAR DOOR WATER SHEDDER
1 thick bin bag and lots of silicone sealant, no more water in boot next winter

I still need to do my water shedder, good job mate.

Pukka job...I have to respect somebody who thinks on their feet and produces a neat and tidy result in the execution of said thought.

Returned my 99'er to the dealership with water consumption issues despite the attention of an AA spanner Jockey who declared it pressurised and sound after finding a split in a heater hose. Turns out that she'd developed a head gasket issue (what a complete surprise!) somewhere along the way and is probably why (amongst other issues) she was sensibly offloaded via a part-ex arrangement by the previous owner who undoubtedly became suspicious of the fact that it required the water regularly topping up and consequently saw serious £££ signs floating before his/her eyes!
Happily the dealer has sorted it and Gladys will allegedly be ready for a 'drive away' this Saturday?
