    Alarm problem. Urgent help required.

    Locking once just locks it, second time within one second superlocks which on other cars i refers to deadlocking.

    freelander interior light problem?

    The reason why you get odd results with the interior light is there are effectively two earths. One is switched by the CCU in response to the door open signal and operates the interior light directly, the second is permanent and is used when turning on the interior lights with the buttons. I...

    The Green Oval - Downloads | Land Rover Data This is an ISO image so cannot be read directly as the link explains. Burn it to a cd to expand the files. I then copied the content of the disk to my hard disk and double clicked the .exe file. It automatically created a desktop link and is much...

    rear window slow

    Slow lift can only be down to two problems. Either the mechanism is stiff and putting too much load on the motor or the motor itself is unable to drive the mech. You could try being liberal with WD40 around the mechanism and see if that improves it. Be warned however that you should strip, clean...

    freelander interior light problem?

    Multiple odd probs frequently are related to earthing issues. LR do use common earthing headers so it would be a good idea to look at the RAVE disk and clean yours up.

    freelander interior light problem?

    PCB=Printed Circuit Board. The three bulb holders are mounted on a board the tracks of which form the contacts for the plug.

    CD changer says no discs after reading.

    I am afraid this is a classic sympton of a failed laser pickup, they can be replaced but the cost may be prohibitive.

    Abmulance conversion?

    One suggestion, look for a small second hand caravan (no, not "and tow it"). This would give you a source of pre-formed interior components suited to the space you have, give you ideas for solutions to problems etc. Probably cheaper in the long run than buying all the bits. Your are obviously...

    HSE harman Kardon system

    Mine is an early 2003 so might be different but is also a HK. The standard head unit could drive speakers without the amp as does any replacement unit. The feed to the amp is speaker level signals so my Pioneer still feed to the inputs of the amp, the speakers are connected directly to the...

    freelander interior light problem?

    I had similar problems with mine. Initially thought it was corrosion on the pcb. Eventually found that with a meter there was no continuity between the ground contact of the pcb and the crimp inside the plug. As soon as I tried to clean the spring face of the crimp the contact fell apart due to...

    Freelander immobiliser problems - stranded!

    The fob is not the immobiliser just the alarm although the CCU also releases the immobilisation ECU when the alarm is unset. The immobiliser is in the key head itself and uses no batteries. If this system fails I am not aware of any way to bypass it (would be pointless if you could). If the...

    Td4 Acoustic cover

    I have a narrow cover over the injector cabling but not over the plenum assembly which is on top of the intake manifold. The rave disk only has a full cover. I assume then this was replaced and I am not missing anything. I have gone through the rave disk and cannot find any drawings which...

    Td4 Acoustic cover

    Did all the Td4 Engines in the Freelander have an Acoustic Cover fitted. Some of the drawings in the RAVE disk show it but mine doesn't have one fitted. I would be a little surprised if it had been left off as it has unly been serviced by dealers until now.
