    Freelander tyre issue

    Try swapping fronts to rears but it could be more serious. How many miles have you done on your present set up? Tolerance between front & rear is max 5mm iirc, but as already said the "slightly" larger ones must ALWAYS be on the back.

    help needed asap

    Inspection hatch off wheel liner rubbing on tyre? Sounds daft but hey..... Your prop is off but how much off? Seen some just literally taken off but still with bits of UJ going round which isn't good.. In reply to you r post about prices, have a google for the parts and then add on the...

    wiring up roof lights..

    WHS Definitely need a relay, pretty straight forward to do, but spliced is not good. Diagrams are all on here somewhere. Personally I'd use a relay for the halo circuit too, but them I'm over cautious

    Help

    Worn contacts from being mainly used on 1 & 2 for most of its life? Try removing it and get some switch cleaner on it. I would guess that if it works at all it is probably the switch itself that's at fault As for banter, that's another matter altogether, but I expect you'll get a bit having...

    car seat fit in freelander

    Can't say for certain but as above - it IS a car seat so it should. Our lass uses her FL for work and regularly has 3 child seats in the back so you should be ok with just one :D

    Passenger car tires ok or need LT tires?

    Weight rating is the important part from an insurance company's point of view. As long as what you buy is equal to or over the original spec then you should be ok. There's nothing to suggest that a FL needs a LT or C rated tyre anywhere on Land Rover's own info. Stick with the original tyre...

    There was an ad from a breakers yard in the for sale the other day, don't know if it's FL specific or in other models. Give them a bell

    There's a few V6 threads, most (but not all) describe very expensive issues..... That's why they're cheap

    whining/rubbing noise when turning

    You will notice a small amount of scratching on full lock with any VCU system, my VWs a bugger for it. If you have the time, drop the prop and run in FWD mode, if it stops then you know it's VCU / prop related, if it doesn't then put it back on and I'll get my coat :)

    Polybushes, Which ones

    Britpart stuff can vary in quality a lot - hence the regular name of ****part. You pays your money and you takes your chance really. Proper polybush kits and fixings are very good though But you'd be better off putting the £250 towards a TD4 :)

    whining/rubbing noise when turning

    I think the "never known one fail" comment is a bit vague. 05 isn't that recent in car terms these days, how many miles has it done? I'm 99% that the VCU is still regarded as a consumable to be replaced every 70000 miles even by that reg year. Could it be steering bushes or a power steering...

    Hello From Me (A Newby) And What to buy?

    You seem to be looking in expensive places as far as I can see.... Maybe that's just Oxfordshire for you. My last 200tdi Disco had 250000 on it when I sold it, if it's been well maintained the mileage shouldn't be too much of a problem. Don't spend more than a couple of hundred quid on a...
