Thanks it’s due a decent detail but looking at the paintwork I was thinking today the shampoo must be making a bigger difference than I think. The steering wheel badge was off eBay description: “LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 3 4 DISCO BLACK SUPERCHARGED STEERING WHEEL BADGE EMBLEM” I’ve got the badges...

Oh and Replaced all badges now to Black and Silver.

15 Year ish Update. My trusty Freelander is doing me proud.... now with 80k on the clock and my daily it’s no longer a garage queen but still looking nice and running well. Just put a new set of tyres on which surprisingly while costly were cheaper than the last set!!! Got to admit it still...

10 Year Update lol Well I've still got the Sport and she's still looking nice. Hit 60k the other week so hardly ran in. I use Stuart & Penny at Armson A E which is just around the corner to where I live and the service is fantastic. Picked up a little run about for my work commute, so planning...

Just a quick shout out for Stuart & Penny at Armson. Im lucky enough to live 10 minutes away and My Freelander Sport TD4 has just had its second service & MOT with them. Cant fault them, like anyone i want to deal with a garage and people i can trust and can advise me on keeping my...

Your efforsts were great appreciated!!! :D

Late Update: Finally got around to having the Repair Kit for Nippon Denso Starter Motor fitted last friday, Took it to a good chap who used to serivice one of my other cars... Luckily i printed out the info including the below info which saved the day... I've just figured out how the Starter...

Hi Guys, I ordered the kit yesterday and its turned up today :) Charged the battery just in case and the first start clicked so at least i know its not the battery. So Is there any local Landy Zoners around Leicester who fancy giving me a hand in return for a couple of beer tokens? It would be...

Thanks for these links, ill order a kit and see if it needs doing. I had popped it in the dealers and they found no issues when they ran it on their computer but i guess this wouldnt show up as a fault, just old school knowledge. Ta Paul

Ill try the Lights on..... Ive not had to resort to jump starting yet though.....

Hi All, Got an issue recently, When i try to start the car it simply clicks and wont start, a couple of attempts and it does start but i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. It seems this problem worsens when the weathers hot or possibly when the cars sat for a while with...

Dont worry, i have to get Gen Parts or it will effect my extended warrenty. :doh:

Thanks you guys for the help. Ill check out my Vin and look to order the pads and discs. I think depending on price i might get the shoes changed too but hold fire on the brake drum. Its been such i long time since ive worked on drums i can hardly remember the basics..... Im pretty sure the...

Hi All, Well the Freelander has done 34k miles now and need the pads changing again. They were done at the Main dealer last time at 17k but its going to be cheaper getting my Porsche Indy to do it this time. Cars still under extended warrenty so gen parts and a vat registered garage needed...

Ive taken some photos for anyone interested in my stainless steel side bars. Passengers side, very good condition. Drivers side Damaged Area As you can see the damage is very small but I just cant leave it! My Body shop chap reckons theres a good chance to...

Update: Im ordering a new set of stainless side bars so mine will be up for sale if anyones interested. Drivers side has a small dent in and passengers perfect. Will take some photos if anyones interested and these are to be collected only. Once my new ones are on ill put the old ones on...

IMO and its just that, the side bars looks much better than bump strips and finish the car off better too.

Hi All, Our Freelander Sport has these Side bars which are actually stainless steel not chrome fitted from new. My wife put a small dent on the drivers side one before christmas and im now looking to sort it. Firstly has anyone heard of anyone flogging a drivers side one im sure we arent the...

Hi All, Just looking at my options for the Freelanders next service. Is there anyway in Leicester that can be recommended please? I know theres a good place near Freemans Common but i cant remember that name....:confused: Thanks PaulN

Hi, Thanks, its still looking clean, maybe a little cleaner too :rolleyes: It has the sports pack on and is a little lower but mainly stiffer. The car was new out the box. Did you get yours new or second hand? The photo does make it look higher. Cheers PaulN
