    Freelander 1 quick and easy parking sensor replacement

    Hi, can you get a nice young set of ears to listen for the clicks? Sounds as though no power getting to the sensors as its unlikely all 4 have failed. Sorry but that's the limit of my knowledge. Hope you can get it sorted.

    2005 td4 hse radio reception

    Hi, OK a further update. Reception is affected when driving as the ariel is being buffeted and moves so I get rubbish reception. If I hold ariel through sunroof it's ok so. I know it's the ariel base as the female screw thread has a crack. I think the MW reception is actually AM reception...

    2005 td4 hse radio reception

    Hi, just by way of an update I took the ariel off and found I had no MW reception. By wiggling ariel I got improved reception. This prompted me to put a replacement antenna, (old one) and cleaned metal parts and greased it and hey presto I now have 90 percent perfect reception. It's so...

    2005 td4 hse radio reception

    Hi thanks for the speedy reply and saving time and money on pointless repair. I use MW for radio 5 and talk sport mainly for news and sport so I do really miss it. I suppose its time for a new head unit upgrade but I am fearful of making a mess of it and ending up no better off after spending...

    Hi I have very poor radio reception on Medium wave. Fm is good. There appears to be a crack in the thread of the ariel roof base unit. Is this likely to be the culprit? I'm loathe to splash out 30 quid (gps version as I have hse) and replace it only to find the problem remains. Thanks for any...

    Fitting aftermarket HU and the vagaries of Harmon Karmon

    Hi I'm in exactly the same situation as the original poster. I would love to get an android double DD head unit but don't feel confident in the wiring harnesses or adapter frames. Is it really as simple as it sounds? I will be watching the thread with great interest :)

    Freelander 1 quick and easy parking sensor replacement

    Hi, I got brave! Ten minutes later all sorted. I had to cut or trim the one way tabs off the bezel surround with Stanley knife enough to get the bezel with the sensor into the bumber and at same time leave enough to keep it in place but that was simple enough. Thanks for giving me the...

    Hi well done, good job! I still haven't been brave enough :( Don't want to take bumber off as all bolts are rusted up so 15 min job will end up taking whole day. Any tips with the drill? Thanks
