Hi all. I've sold my lovely manual 2004 td4. Got a good offer for it... Wanted to buy another facelift FL1, I really like the brilliant lights. But I've seen nearly a very tidy 2001 ES Automatic td4. Nice colour, good condition, had it's VCU replaced, etc. And it's half the price of a...

I'd noticed the 2006 models deleted the heated screen as standard on se and hse.

Oh and I changed my A4 3.0tdi quattro for the freelander. Loved my audi but the freelander more. A lot less rapid but easier to hustle along

I've been having a good look at specs for 2004 models. Main things are: S has aircon and 15in alloys SE: pdc, heated seats, heated windscreen, powerfold mirrors, 16in alloys HSE: SE plus front fogs, full leather, elec sunroof, satnav, 17in alloys, 9 speaker harman kardon sound system Sport: 18in...

Hi - couple of things I need to do and not sure what to use. (1) back door hinge creaks (2) sunroof needs lubricant But not sure whether to use oil or grease for them. Any hints>? cheeeers!

looking for a couple of bits of wood trim for the fascia ... not the whole fascia just around the bottom section of knobs and switches for a facelift freelander 1... any recommendations where to look for best value/price? Some seem to be realllllly expensive! thx

I test drove that automatic. Low mileage, full service history. Engine keen, no problems on kickdown or accelerating or starting etc. Didn't have a rear cigarette lighter (thought all HSEs did), and everything works on it. Tried reversing with wheel full lock and slipping it into neutral -...

I'm glad I asked, I knew it trattered

Great thread thanks! But whats a tratter?

Mines loud! Like an unhappy bee or a mall electricity substation, its louder than the engine..

Thanks everyone. If my manual sells I'll chase the auto!

I'm in 2 minds.... I really like my HSE manual... but this local automatic looks really nice too...

Hiya, I might have the chance of changing my Freelander for an automatic td4. Are they as good in the snow as manuals? If I were test driving one, what should I look out for and anything I should try out eg kickdown, I've seen quite a few posts about failed gearboxes so am wary! Thx :)

all 4? he said there's 5 to do. maybe it's pipes not hoses? It was the mechanic over the phone. I'm near Glasgow.

Seems pricey, it needs 5 and "2 are quite long" Think I should be looking elsewhere or is this reasonable? Thx

Hi all The rear speakers aren't working, rather only the front "tweeters" seem to work and the bigger speakers in the front door don't work either. So I wondered if it might be the amplifier. Does it have it's own fuse? I can't see a fuse for it listed in the handbook. Could it be dead...

Todays news: I have half a heated windscreen...!

Wheels balanced :) wobble gone. Drives very smoothly now. Clunk on steering direction change due to worn drop link but not bad.

I'll have a go with the getting the oil changed this weekend... My freelander has done 79k. I really like it but if it's going to be disastrous will sell cheap it and try another!

I'm alarmed!
