Hi, I have a brand new switch and converter harness here that doesn't fit my '98 car and has been sitting in a box for the past few months! Happy to sell for £15 delivered if someone here with a newer car is having similar problems! Cheers, will@baisikal.com.

I run a very similar set up to Edge - I bashed the rear box a number of times off road and removed it to increase clearance. From where the centre pipe sits horizontalish and pointing straight back over the rear lower arm, I have now fitted a stubby silencer in it's place.

Agree with Kizzeh, 17's with a thicker wall will be more comfortable if that's your concern. Otherwise, 235/55/18's (716mm OD) will be no problem on an F1 with a standard wheel offset, as 205/80/16's (734mm OD) work fine on mine and many other cars, although run very close to the lower spring cup.

Just a note - if you're towing you'll need all 4 wheels on the ground. If the 2 front's are lifted onto the bed of a van/truck they'll try to spin too as the rears start to move as it's permanent 4x4!

LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2.0 DIESEL STARTER MOTOR 97-01 | eBay. £70 plus a tenner postage. Re-manufactured unit - check the code off yours before ordering up though. This is the correct one for my L Series.

40mm or 2" lift kits are available, they just add a spacer between the top of the shock turret and the body. Get your tracking and camber checked afterwards, and you will need to trim a section from your inner wings up front for the lower arms. Plenty of threads on here - just do a search for...

I bought the switch and loom as shown in the first post, but the original part on my 99 L series is different, so the new part won't fit on the bracket and the wiring is different. Any ideas?

There's only a physical bolted connection between the IRD and the central/rear prop, it can't know it's been removed. Sounds like the IRD is goosed matey, an expensive fix I think...

For your Freelander? Will these fit? What steel wheels will you be using?

My Britparts only lasted a few months...

Mine was very noisy until recently - replaced propshaft support bearings and also patched up a couple of blows in the exhaust. Made a huge difference - double check wheel bearings too for a speed related drone.

Couple of 13mm nuts and a wobble on the arms to remove them from their splines, pull the plastic rivets out from the top of the plastic cover where is connects under the window glass, then pop the plastic rivets where the cover connects in the bay and pull back the seal strip with the bonnet and...

No need for any blanking plates - just removed the whole prop from the IRD back including the VCU. It's easiest on proper ramps so you can spin the wheels while you progress to gain access to all the bolts round the shaft, but axle stands will also be OK if you don't mind working on your back...

Winner!

I bought one of these WINDSCREEN WIPER LINKAGE REPAIR CLIP LAND ROVER FREELANDER | eBay the other day to fix my NS wiper arm but after opening it up realised another part had failed so it's now going spare! I've never tried it but the seller seems to have good feedback etc - I have no...
