    Name of this part? L314 - 1999

    That car has at least 3 optional extras. There's the light guards. The A Bar which is the plastic covered bull bar type affair. The fog/stop lights that fit either side and wrap over the A Bar. I don't know what their part numbers are, but in the Rave workshop manual there is a section for...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Tyres (again)

    Make sure they are exactly the same tyre. Check any batch numbers and ANY difference in the markings on the side walls. What appears the same, isn't necessarily the same... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/feels-like-driving-with-brakes-on.260939 He had 4 'identical' tyres fitted, but...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Looks like a twin of my 2010. I've had mine 15 months and its been fine. No issues.

    Potential newbie!

    They'd be owned by lazy c**ts like me. I've owned that one for 14 years now, and its boringly reliable. A real awesome car that never lets us down. Well, very very rarely has it given us trouble. Service it well, look after the important stuff and it has rewarded us well. Still does...

    Freelander 1 USB Sockets

    Also, mine's a '99 not a facelift.

    Freelander 1 USB Sockets

    Although I may have had to remove the bits between the seat to allow the dash console to flex (I might not have), I managed to ease the bottom of the console panel away from the carpet in the passenger footwell to pull the wires off the cig lighter and out, then connect the working cig lighter...

    Freelander 1 USB Sockets

    I'd leave the cigarette lighter where it is, pull the wires off the back of it and join them up to your USB socket. If you are lucky the wires will be long enough to reach where you want then to go without needing to be extended and may be the same fittings. When I got a dashcam it needed to...

    Can't have looked at many Landies if you've never seen an advisory for an oil leak! I got this advisory on mine a couple of years back... They're still there!

    MAKE MY MIND UP

    You can tell by the wear on the door side part of the seat bases (the side support bit) on most F1s that they are a bit high for slide in/out access. F2s appear about the same height. There are lots of people who want to make their Freelanders unique by installing a suspension lift :rolleyes...

    Yeh, but both have a 750kg unbraked towing capacity.

    MAKE MY MIND UP

    The F2 is about the same length and height as F1, but quite a bit wider, significantly heavier and significantly more powerful.

    Tailgate window not working - Freelander 1999

    The tailgate window has been discussed at length on here. There are a number of reasons as to why it won't shift. Things like the rear wiper not being parked off it (or rather the sensors not indicating that), the door latch sensor. Usually though, I'm pretty sure, just replacing the...
