Sorted! Turns out there was a crack in the dash circuit board creating a short. The mechanic resoldered all the connections, solving the problem :)

@Nodge68 It's a 2001 TD4. No the hazard telltale lights don't flash with the indicators. No the lights on light doesn't work. (Though the dash panel illumination comes on) I will check the main beam warning... I will check electric windows too... Sorry for ignorance but what is the Ipack? Is...

My entire dashboard died (instruments, all lights except SRS) whilst driving down the motorway. The handbrake light came on, I toggled the lever to check it was released, and the entire panel flickered off then on again. Then 10 mins later went out completely. No speedo, no indicators, though...

@Nodge68 Cool! Thank you.

How long should it take to replace the water pump on a TD4? A garage has quoted me for 3 hrs labour.

Thanks. Looks quite straightforward, apart from the centre console & the heating system components at the front!

I want to remove passenger carpet in a Freelander 1. Do I need to remove the front console (as well as seats & centre console) to get it out? Just wondering if this is an epic job...!

cool! thanks a lot

Hmmm... I don't get similes. They're like rocket science to me :) Reason I ask is coz instructions for the Discovery rails involved drilling a hole in the roof. I'm not adverse to doing that, but I want to make sure I've got the complete fitting kit from whatever fleabay seller I buy the rails...

sijwhite, thanks for the link. found range rover & disco rails, but no freelander. this has got to be quite simple though... right?

has anyone got instructions? or know where I can get them? ta. whoops! I mean rails, not bars.

Hi, I saw you posted fitting instructions for kalahari roof rails... Would you happen to have instructions for 5 door freelander 1 roof rails? Or any idea where i could get them? Cheers, Al

No offence intended. Take care.

You're right, I forgot to mention it's 1.8. I appreciate your help, tho' I don't think you got why I want to know total capacity. Draining a random amount off then adding the same in coolant won't result in a 50% mix. Cheers.

Great! Thanks for that That won't work. I need to drain off half the total and add the same in antifreeze concentrate to get a 50% mix. As the post says, at the moment it's pure water. But thanks for the estimate!
