The window regulator cables usually rot through as they are only poor quality multi strand galvanised steel wire which absorb moisture in between the strands. Freelanders are not the only vehicles to suffer with this problem and I make new cables in stainless steel which will last indefinately.

Mines the same but the drivers side. I have tried removing headlight and drying with hair dryer through bulb hole but within a few days it has started to mist up again. I have just given up now for the time being.

Never seen a rotten one yet, only small amounts of surface rust and I strip them down to the bare shell running a Freelander parts business.

I can usually get around £120 for four/five alloy wheels, nuts and tyres dependent upon condition and tread depth when breaking Freelanders. Without tyres I would usually sell alloy wheels for around £15 each.

Alternatively purchase a secondhand geninue one for around the same price as a non geninue part. As Hopo has said you can get a kit from ebay but you have to be careful as some of the kits do not work as the cables have been manufactured incorrectly. I manufacture my own cables in stainless...

I want one as it looks great. Seriously do you have any idea of costs to manufacture?

Hi, how many miles has it done?

I had exactly the same problem on Monday after towing my Ifor Williams trailer. After unhitching and raising the suspension and hitching up again it has been fine.

Whereabouts are you haigy?

You will just need to recode your radio, should'nt be anything else as I have recently disconnected mine to remove airbag for cruise control fitting.
