    Freelander 1 - door unlocking problem

    Hi, had exactly the same prob with mine (apart from it was drivers door). Yes, it will most likely be the solinoid, tried WD40ing it but no joy, i ended up getting one from scrap yard and fitting it myself. Not that easy, not to bad, more annoying and time consuming than anything. took me about...

    Fitting a subwoofer in a FL

    Think theres a gromit which allows easy access on the drivers side too. just above the accelerator peddel. if u push a coat hanger (straightened out) through from the foot well u should find it in the engine bay, tape the cable on, job done... thats on an 03 plate TD4 anyway. Good luck..

    Hello, thought i'd join in the fun. I don't know for sure but i'd put my money on your speakers being 4 ohm. very few car bass drivers are 8 ohm and i've never come accross any which are 16 ohm.

    Max Load in back of freelander?

    LOL. I like that story, yer it is the car version. If a rover 400 managed a ton i shouldn't have any thing to worry about. I might get 7 or 8 people to sit in back of car (if they'll fit) and see how it sits. so do we think if it looks ok (sits about right and not on suspention bump stops) it'll...

Think we should manage it between 2 of us. should be a 3rd man avaiable where i'm picking up from too...
