    swapping tyres round

    Just a thought but do Freelander props ever need balancing? HAd some viration on the Syncro, took the prop to an engineers, got it balanced and perfect.... Only just though of that one but it may well be irrelevant - I'm new to these beasts.... As for wheel sizes, it's the rolling radius you...

    swapping tyres round

    Personally, I don't think swapping miss-matched wheels & tyres from one corner to the other will help you identify anything Good luck though and I hope it turns out to be an easily fixable problem

    Freelander roof bars and luggage cover

    :doh: Check the completed listings It's a big wide world out there :) From a quick look I reckon your current roofbars are worth about £100 - to get cross roof bars would be about £30 - Roll out parcel shelf may be different 3 door to 5 door but you can just roll it out to fit - depending on...

    Free Lander 2 rear door electrical problem

    Get a Haynes or a RAVE or have a look at LR themselves - you can download the handbook with the relevant fuses etc and make a start on diagnosing it yourself Everything's out there - Google (or a site search) is your friend :)

    any way of checking my engine...

    All you can go on is the paperwork - I have a very good mate with a K series engine in his Lotus and he's no problems so fingers crossed for you. When they work they're very good. Any second hand motor is a gamble - I hope this one pays out for you

    Removing mk1 hard back without taking roof rails off?

    As they have said, but it's only 4 bolts to take the bars off :)

    Knocking noise

    Not in the grand scheme of things, no, but it depends on how handy you are with a spanner to keep the labour costs down

    Hi...We're new Freelander TD4 owners

    Good luck with getting it sorted. If the Vauxhall place can't do it then either demand they take it to a LR dealer or return it under the sale of goods act and find another one - drastic but I expect they're not over familiar with your vehicle

    Get the local pc to stick a "police aware" sticker on it. They'll be glad for you to take it away and save them the paperwork

    swapping tyres round

    You asked about the tolerances between tyres and I'm 99% that they should be within 5mm rolling radius front to rear. With a VCU based transmission it's always important to keep tyre diameters as close as possible. At least that's how I've always nderstood it When we bought ours it had 2...

    Plenty to read on here about the dash light problem. What engine is it? I'm not sure what you mean by "when driving the car slightly locked in front and lights disappeared then came back again " Good luck and welcome :)

    Stick the key in the tailgate lock and turn it clockwise - that should shut the rear glass from outside, then press the lock button to lock it - SIMPLES :)

    Best Battery Charger

    Read good reports of the ones that Lidl have in occassionally. It's a smart charger that can stay hooked up to keep things topped up. When they have them they're about £15 which is a bargain compared to CTek ones... Worth a look if you have a Lidl nearby. Lots of info on them on the Syncro...
