The RAVE disk has a section on fitting optional extras which include running cables as you require. This is quite useful as it incudes diagrams

There is a whole series of calculations based on axle weights, rolling diameters, tyre widths et al to produce the "correct" tyre pressures. Having done all that the manufacturers use road testing to modify them for their own purposes. This basically means that when you operate in specific...

Finished and refitted:D 1. The culprit, completely rotten frame but the glass is OK. 2. 1st strip bonding after cleaning and masking up. 3. Last strip bonding. 4. Seal lip marked out for cutting. 5. Mounting flanges bonding. 6. Seal fitted. Materials 40mm x 2mm strip, 20mm x 20mm angle...

Tried to sort out the broken pivot block £8.45 ea + shipping almost doubles the cost:confused: Local stealership similar price + vat but no shipping so are cheaper:D Except that the Rt side is OK but the Lt side is only listed as a pack of 10 i.e. £84.50:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek...

Can't attach a pic as mine is now in bits. Sit in the car facing forward and open the blind. Leave the sunroof closed and look at the side above the passenger seat. Almost flush with the glass is the plastic cover about 10mm deep running front to back. When you unclip the cover you will find the...

The Missus can't drive the Freebie at all because of the clutch load. Even makes my knee ache if I drive all day.

Although the Td4 unlike the petrol has a two piece pipework the connector is self sealing and the sytem in not refillable. The second pipe does end in a bleed nipple but the system should not be bled normally during the life of the system. I suppose if you have a problem with excessive pedal...

It was astonishly easy to get the glass out, in fact so easy you have to worry about security. Along each side there is a plastic strip immediatly below the glass running front to back. This pops of with a gentle pull using a screwdriver. This in turn reveals three torx head screws on each...

The fog cut off is more to disable the foglights on the car when towing, just leaving the caravan fogs on. If you don't all you get is a brilliant red glow of the reflection from the caravan in your rear view mirror. Therefore all it does is break the feed to the fog lights when the trailer is...

Trying to come up with a solution without buying a new glass panel. I thought initially that the seal strip went both over the metal frame and the glass but apparently not. The metal is approximatly 7mm bigger than the glass all round which is what the seal fits on and there is a step in the...

£132+ for a new sunroof:mad: so now I am trying to think laterally to make a new frame out of ally:confused: I was right to be concerned about the wind deflector mount except that it did not break while trying to straighten it, it way already broken when I looked with the bit laying in the...

I've got the sunroof glass out. The seal is distorted because the metal frame was bonded to the glass has virtually rotted away:frusty: Would I have to get a complete new glass or is the frame available?

Don't forget that most modern cars do not have the temp gauge directly driven by the sensor but by the ECU which can produce spurious readings. Poor earthing on the gauge normally makes it overread. My old Maestro (yes somebody did own one) used to run its gauge off the stops every now and...

Not many vehicles will support 3 ISOFIX side by side in a row, lets face it the Freelander is not exactly narrow itself. Even the Fiat Multipla which is quite wide only supports 2 child seats. I am not even sure if the 3 seat row cars have ISOFIX in the rear.

A couple of times during the winter I had some water dripping through the blind of the sunroof. The seal around the glass is wrinkled particularly at the back and the seal edge seems hard. The RAVE disk covers removing and refitting the seal but should I really look at replacing it and how...

Almost definitely the VCU. Get the propshaft off A.S.A.P before you do severe (expensive) damage. Quite right that the fob has nothing to do with the immobiliser. It would seem that there is something wrong with the transponder module in one of the key heads. Several companies advertise that...

Not withstanding age and therefore reliabilty is the Freelander 2 significantly better than the original, specifically the Td4:confused:

As I am around to drive her I'm gong to prep and private sell hers then try and part ex the Freelander, its worth less so they can't screw me as much. Need to get the missus into a couple of motors and make sure she's happy 1st. What's the thoughts on above average milage Landrovers...

The individual batteries are 12v but in packs of two tied with a fuse to make 24v. They could be then split to make a 48v set inside the UPS. I would have to disconnect them to recharge on the car:focus:

Easy (?) bit is to check and retension the drive belt, testing the compressor is much more of an issue.
