    Freddie17 replied to the thread What have you done to your Freelander today.
    I’m currently around the mountains on holiday. Decided to take the F2, just ‘because’. Just refuelled (like charging points, petrol stations are few and far between around here). Kent > Bristol > North Wales. Over 350 miles, a smidge over 38 MPG...

    Assuming they are the same generation Haldex, then it should work. If it’s working intermittently, have you checked the wiring to the Haldex unit? Up by the rear diff, where the wiring harness plugs in, it’s quite exposed. I don’t think they are...

    The world has spent the last 100 odd years building up a petrol and diesel refuelling infrastructure so it will take a while for EV's chargers to catch up. It doesn't help that most of us charge at home most of the time so a constant demand in...

    It's perfectly possible and worth considering! For now though I just need an MOT it's been 4 months since I last drove it properly, gonna give it a quick shoot up the motorway before the MOT, I will be sure to let everyone know how that goes...

    The rear brakes are Drums... :) When I refer to Cylinders I refer to the wheel cylinders in the drums at the rear, when I refer to calipers I refer to the Discs and pistons at the front :) I am very young though, thank you for noticing!
