How are your fuses? Long shot as central locking and interior lights are on seperate circuits but worth a look. if it's been stood and an earth has corroded you could be shorting out somewhere perhaps... Try re-synching the key fobs, all info out there. Here's an easy place to start...

I've had IIAs, IIIs, a 90 and a Disco. All useful for what I bought them for. I love the banter on this site - making for an entertaining evening's reading on a boring Saturday night stuck in on my own... Came back here after a few years away looking for info and advice on buying a Freelander...

Put another 150 miles on it

Ah well, may have been worth asking around 1st then :) Used these guys to get us out of a hole once before with an odd size car tyre on a Saturday afternoon, so went back again... I've had Marshalls on my Syncro for a couple of years and they still look brand new so I wanted the same on the FL...

Why don't we have a decent yard near us anymore... Sounds like you had a successful day

If anyone's nearby to us and looking for some new tyres try Cut Price Tyres in Retford 01777 948 332 Used them before and went up today for a new set on the Freelander. 4 x Marshall Road Venture KL78 AT 195/80R15 supplied, fitted, balanced and new valves, old ones disposed of for the princely...

Recently come back here myself too, have fun :)

I hope so, just bought one myself ! got a 3 door softback td4 GS. Very tidy and drove home nicely last night. I guess time will tell if I've done the right thing, fingers crossed for both of us

Retford, North Nottinghamshire (for now at least ;) )

Had a really pleasant drive back in the Freelander, all seems to be behaving properly. It's for my better half to use daily as a work vehicle so we'll soon find out if 1st impressions are right or not. Anyone else based around Retford, North Notts?

Well we've done it. Just on my way to pick up a 51 plate td4 hardback. Next stop the tyre shop. Wish me luck, it seems an honest straight car and drives very well.

195 80 15 was a factory option too, that's what ours has on. Just been quoted £80 a corner for a new set of Khumos. Got the same size on my T3 Syncro too, pretty handy all rounders. Sell the big ones to some mad person with a Suzuki :D

Your tyres are the equivalent of 265 / 75 R15 and as far as I know that's way too wide. 215 /75 R15 was the factory size and I know you can go a bit bigger but I don't think you'll squeeze these on without a bit of trimming of the arches. The overall diameter is about 8cm greater. Spacers may...

Just to say Hi again, been away for a long time - running a 1989 VW T3 Syncro for the past few years (sorry but it is amazingly good :)) The time has come for another Landy, we're looking for a Td4 Freelander, probably around 2001 ish with our rather modest budget. I'm sure I will be back...

Thanks for the info about the German company doing Echo Trailers. I've seen Echo before, they are South African too but CTC are re-selling them on. Interestingly they want about £3800 for one which would only cost £1700 in South Africa. Might be cheaper to ship one over directly (or just go...

That's a particularly nasty looking vehicle!!!! I'm aiming for something like this that will follow my Disco rather than look like I've reversed into someone's caravan. Shame about the motherboard but with photos like that it obviously just lost the will to function!!

Im looking to buy a safari type camping trailer with a folding roof tent etc. Something like a Buzzard Overlander or one of the other manufactures I've found on this site The Overland Forum Offroad Trailer Page Does anyone have any experiences or useful information and points to watch for etc...

I was told may years ago, when I needed a plate for an old Morris Traveller that the only vehicle that you could legally use stick on plates for was an E Type Jag on account of there being no mountings for a real front plate when they were produced. Don'y know how true it is now but you never...

Try Anchor Surplus in Nottingham. Not sure of the phone number but they should show up on a Google search. They certainly used to stock it (and anti infra red paint for your canvas too). Andi

Cheers Ormus I was originally thinking one relay per set of lights, sounds like you tend to agree. Think I'll stick with that plan.
