I remember reading a post somewhere on here, sometime ago, that you can put the thermostat in the hose the wrong way round, which I suppose could explain the problem?

Starter/ solonoid?

Firming up the electrical connectors under the front seats fixed it for me, but there are quite a lot of posts related to the horn ring in the steering wheel failing.

If the brakes are only making a lot of noise and not sticking (stopping the Freelander from moving) maybe take a look at the stone guard, which rusts and can bend and scrape against the moving parts.

The connector in the storage box is for the originolly fitted sub woofer. There are a lots of posts regarding water in the storage box and how to fix it, you'll have to search the threads to find them.

Pyle PLPw 6D 6.5" 600 watt dual voice coil 4Ohm subwoffer. Was recomended, by I can't remember who, sorry whoever that was. Got one long ago, great value, works perfectly.

I should have said probably your woofer connection. But if your stereo doesnt have a decent lump of a speaker in the fish tank then the conector wouldn't be needed, so could be tucked away. But to be sure take a photo and someone smarter than me will tell you exactly what it is for.

That's the woofer conection for the stereo.

30psi for 5 + years

It was the inside edges of the fronts that have been wearing faster on mine. I had the tracking done everytime I got new tyres, so this higher pressure is my bit of tweaking.

The sticker on the door pillar says thirty psi, but I'm assuming the factory fitted tyres were a bit stiffer.

Had a couple of new tyres put on and was informed by the helpful tyre guys that I had been underinflating. 30psi for the last five years or so, now I'm trying 34psi. Time will tell.

We're slowing heading in that direction. Covid and the price of diesel have slowed the journey down.

The smile: that is important.

Be careful not to offend it. The older they get the more sensitive they become.
