What have you done to your Freelander today

Washed it, took the roof off, stuck the dog in the back and went for a spin

Happy face

Washed and waxed and then took her in for a service.....Ahhh the old ones are the best

Liking the look of the tint on the lights, think i'll try that on mine.

Have you got a link where you purchased it?

Hi,
If you type in 'FLY EYE TINT' on eBay in car accessories it throws up numerous sellers...

Cheers

Changed engine oil + filter, drained and refilled manual gearbox (Getrag)..remember that the filler and drain plugs need an 8mm allen key and mine were very tight. I used an oil syringe to refill and access wasn't too bad, using the oil bottles with a spout would be a waste of time because the tube is not long enough. Replaced both anti roll bar links. Finished off by replacing the diff mounts (All three)

Just changed rusty roof rack bolts for stainless dome headed ones

Not today, but Sunday changed the oil and filter, air filter, oil separator filter and the MAF which was a bit of a fiddle especially when I dropped one of the screws which got stuck between the exhaust manifold and the heat shield above

Managed to retrieve it eventually

Just the turbo vent filter to do…

That's technology for ya and using yer noddle too

I too have one of those telescopic magnets which along with a thin screwdriver I used to retrieve said screw.

Trouble with the telescopic magnet I have is that it's quite strong and ends up sticking to everything but the bit you are trying to capture!

Tested and found that I have a balance VIS which is shot. Sending it off for a refurb for around £50, then back to normal.

Fit a elasticated net pocket to the back door, in the recess next to the main pocket. And serviced the hand brake. It works better now

Fitted £25 abs sensor from fleabay- works a treat, I'm sure the £300 one that the stealer wanted to sell me would have made the amigo's disappear as well !

Was it easy to take the old one out and fit the new one??

Taking the old one out was a pain in the a***. 2.5 hours of drilling out and chipping away - it was totally siezed. Think that's why it bust, new cv joint couldn't move the sensor and ground the end off it! Fitting the new one was a breeze - half an hour.

Coooooooooool after owning the landy for about 5 years and the sun being out I took the landy to a garage and got the a/c serviced and it works 😎. Just have to see now if it leaks or not. But main thing is it works 😊

They should have checked for leaks, but all air con systems can loose up to 3% a year.
