Dont know about the Eos but on the FL2 there is a dedicated slot at the rear of the central upright flap where the black rear fixing locates. Once located you can hold that in place whilst you pop the front shiney part on the front;).

Pleased to share, anything that helps others is good with me as I might need some help and assistance in the future ;)

Cracked it. Pliers or tweezers didn`t do the job as they couldn`t straddle the upright vent flap and hold the back bit firmly enough to push on the front shiney section. So made up a small holding bracket, tucked it behind the upright vent flaps and popped the front bit on. :)

Thank you Ian for taking the time to reply ;) I have been tinkering around this evening trying to fit the two pieces back into the vent flaps. The shiney plastic sliver section acts as a sprung loaded c clamp for the black plastic rear section. I have used long nose pliers, tweezers, folded...

Thanks very much Nodge68 for your reply, as you mention there are some replacement parts available for the vents, however since my post I have managed to use a pair of long nosed pliers to retrieve the old part black part sitting inside the vent flap as seen in the second photo. I have tried...

Would like some help and advice on my drivers side air vent. I have taken a couple of photos to help demonstrate the issue. The shiney plastic chrome operational up and down slide has become detached from the rear section which currently sits inside the vent. Does the vent cover lift off so I...

Thats great Nodge68, just the sort of information and advice I was hoping to receive.;) The thinking behind the query was it would be possible to keep running his FL1 whilst carrying out any necessary work to the FL2 assuming a deal can be done. I suppose the next question would be to find out...

Since purchasing my Freelander 2 my son who has had a Freelander 1 for about 9 years is now looking to upgrade his to a FL2. He has seen a FL2 being advertised, its 2007 with an automatic box and approx 110,000 miles on the clock, MOT until May 2022 and has full service history. It is being...

Thank you very much indeed Nodge68 for your reply and the link ;) Another item on my shopping list for Sunday :)

Thankyou for your reply Nodge68 but unfortunately I dont do FB, my daughter got caught out a few years ago and I vowed never to use their platform. Will take at look around the Newark fair on Sunday ;). Any tips on the style of jack I ought to be looking for, will a scissor jack suffice or...

Thank you very much Stv123 and Nodge68 for your continued interest in this thread, much appreciated and sound advice. I have seen some wheels and tyres being advertised seperately (as opposed to selling complete sets of 4 or 5) on that well known internet auction site for prices in excess of...

Thanks very much Stv123 and Artic2 for taking the time to reply ;) Going to the Pennyfarthing Fair at Newark on Sunday, hopefully somebody might have one for sale there. In the meantime I would appreciate some confirmation advice on the jack though :)

Thank you very much Beneagles and Nodge68 for your replies ;) Been looking on that well known internet auction site for 235/60R18 wheels but very few available in my alloy wheel style. As an alternative short term, Will any Freelander 18" wheel fit? Do I need a dedicated Freelander jack or will...

I have been checking over a Freelander 2 that I purchased recently ( thankyou to Nodge68 for the pointer in the right direction;)). The rear wheel compartment doesn`t have a spare wheel although judging by the attached photo there appears to be markings on the bottom of the compartment to...

Thank you very much for that info ;)

Found it ;) https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/announcing-the-wonderful-landyzone-full-member-subscription-and-stuff.367807/

Thank you for that info, how do I find out more and what the benefits are?

Thanks kermit_rr :) Just wondering but I notice you and gold rover are full members, does that mean you can start conversations with other members etc?

Many thanks for the welcome gold rover, Lackingsense and brainp38se :)

I saw that too, the link took me to the AirGunForum, unfortunately I needed to join their forum to access the photos in full screen mode. Probably a bit too soon anyway, however if the price is right it might be worth investigating and asking a few more questions about the maintenance. What...
