    Problem with Becker Sat Nav---Help!

    Does the problem occur when you remove the fascia?? Try it overnight and that will be easier than disconnecting the unit. A cheap alternative would be to pull the radio fuse at night until you can fix / replace. Regards, Steve

    Front Disky Brakey Fingybob!

    I paid £11.16 each side for mine from mailorder4x4 - they are cheap at paddocks, craddocks etc. Pads are about £15.

    Humming noise - Rear passenger side, I think

    I had the exact same problem - and even replaced the rear diff. Turned out to be a wheel bearing. In the end I went to my LR dealer, who diagnosed for free and quoted £246 per side fitted. I got a local independent garage to replace both rears for £170 all in. Its really difficult to diagnose...

    Performance tyre pressures.

    I find between 30psi and 32psi the optimum for fuel economy, comfort and maximum tyre life. Avoid the manufacturers reccommended 26psi!!

    steering wheel

    Sounds like you need your steering wheel locked in the straight ahead position and your tracking (alignment) adjusting. Have you got any unusual tyre wear??

    Freelander CD Changer Upgrade (again)

    I got mine from Philips / VDO when they had an outlet in Sheldon, Birmingham. It has since been closed for at least 5 years. However - the lead fits only the R950 units (with their own display) - i dont think it would work on your model!! One possible solution is to make connections to the...

    You most likely have a Becker Traffic Pro 4765 - if that helps. Regards, Steve

    Do 18" Freelander Sport alloys fit a 2004 E model

    Just to second - they fit all frelander 1 models from 1997 - 2006 perfectly. They are a lovely wheel, but tyre prices are very expensive - mind you I'd still buy a set if they were reasonable!! Regards, Steve

    MPG 1.8 freelander

    I can do 375 miles for £60 - £64 - I am lucky as my daily commute is along 60MPH country lanes. I can get a similar value on a motorway run, but the fuel consumption rises in start / stop traffic. Regards, Steve

    reseting speedo td5

    Dealer job I'm afraid - or someone who knows about mileage correction. Had the same problem say 8 years ago. Changed the instrument cluster and odometer would not increase - the flashing was there too. I drove for about 6 months until I could afford to get it put right. The BECM had been...

    alloys

    No problem - who are they employing at the dealerships these days?? Don't forget to post some piccies once fitted!!

    alloys

    17" and 18" (sport) freelander 1 wheels will fit all freelander 1's regardless of year. You wont need any spacers, nor will you have any clearance issues - they just bolt straight on using the existing wheel nuts and centres. Regards, Steve

    alloys

    They are a genuine option on the V6 models. I got mine for £45 off ebay!! They do fit the 1.8 and 2.0, but the contour of the bumper is slightly different. (Can hardly tell) Regards, Steve

    P38 Stereo System / Aftermarket

    Can you post a pic of the changer, the plug in question and the model number. I may be able to help. Regards, Steve

    Fed up of no low fuel warning light??

    Well finally plucked up the courage to run the tank low (keeping 5 litres in the boot for emergency) The light illuminated and I was able to cover 12 miles to the nearest filling station. See pics attached - look how far the needle drops below the white line even though 5 litres still...

    Crankshaft sensor??

    just purchased this any idea's

    Dean - Sounds just like my freelander when purchased. Turning over ok, fuel present, but no combustion. Turned out the head was warped in a banana shape. It was ever so slight, but caused the engine to fail. Go with the TD4 option - sounds like a great plan and I might be interested in a...

    Fed up of no low fuel warning light??

    I will in future as I will be on the last 5 - 7 litres :) Ironically - the fuel was still clean right to the last drop. I guess the filter is working well. Regards, Steve

    Fed up of no low fuel warning light??

    Good figures, but when the pointer is in the red section, I have covered 70 miles and found 8 or 10 litres left!! The Technozen solution allows you to use more fuel up between refuels.
