Thank you for all the replies Ian

Thank you so much for your reply My wife has a 2014 HSE that I wanted her to see how capable they are for 'mild' off roading and what is the best way to use the terrain response. That why I was looking specifically for a FR2, incidentally we did look at a Evoque & Disco Sport before purchasing...

Hi Thanks for your reply, as I suspected a taster sessions in a FL2 is not really available. As an alternative we could go to an 4x4 'play' area and look to see what they can do, does anyone know where one might be local 'ish' to me ? regards Ian

Hi I would like to book my wife an off road driving experience, but specifically for a Freeland 2 Auto, nothing too extreme just so she can see what the vehicle is capable of. Any suggestions, I live nr Manchester Many thanks Ian

Thank you for your reply Nodge68: I have all the different oils (inc Haldex filter) ready for fluid changes, I was just checking about the gearbox as I was just going to drain out 3 litres from the gearbox - which I will do now Ian

Hi Just piggy backing this thread, I have a 2014 SD4 that's done 58,000 miles and according to LR the auto gear box is due an oil change. I have contacted a LR specialist who have quoted £588.09. This for a transmission flush (15 litres), update transmission control module to latest software...

Hi by a new one do you mean a servo ? or a seal kit (or are these a pain to do) Cheers Ian

Hi Jamesmartin. when the pedal is pumped you can see the fluid pumping back into the res, which also has a small amount of black deposit in the bottom thanks

Hi Following on from excellent advice I have now converted the 200tdi calipers supplied to fit my 3oo tdi with new flexi's/pipes and a couple of T pieces. I now have brakes that actually stop the vehicle rather than just slow it down. However ! I have a spongy pedal that pumps up ! I have...

Hi, I am considering purchasing a Freelander, I want diesel and 5 doors and looking for around a year 2000. Any advice on what to look for, good ones and bad, known mechanical faults, rust areas etc and what sort of price range. Many thanks in advance

Again thanks for info. The disc are solid (non-vented). Does anyone have a picture of how the mod should look as I am unsure what I sould be aiming for. Cheers Ian

Hi Many thanks for the replies, it does indeed sound like Padocks have sent 200 tdi calipers. I realised that there was something wrong with the wide selection of nipples plus the wrong hole sizes for the 2 fitting bolts and the pad retaining pins. After double checking Paddocks website I...

Hi I have poor brakes on my 1995 Disco (manual). they feel a bit spongy, don't have much feel to them and I have to press hard to pull up sharply. I have just fitted new disc's pads and calipers as the old one were knackered. (Incidentaly I got the lot from Paddocks and the calipers have 3...

Hi I set off on my way home from work this evening, after travelling only a few hundred meters I realised that some thing was wrong with my clutch. The clutch pedal won't press all the way to the floor, it goes so far then goes solid, and when I try to engage a gear it wont go in and...
