    Rear window roof switch

    The red key is essentially a triangular socket key that is used to release the rear corners - fitting is pretty easy once you have done one once but can be a bit of a mare to get your head round. I am assuming that yours comes with instructions??? give me a shout if not and I can photocopy mine...

    siezed vcu ?

    hoping so!!! to be honest mine has done this from day 1 - its enough to stall the auto box from if you try reversing on full lock when its cold - full lock forwards is bad but not as bad

    FreeLander 2.0 TD4 Sport Advice

    I was told this by a dealer who told me he could retro-fit cruise control so it may be bullshoot but, acording to him, all the new Freelanders are unbadged anyway - mine came with the Freestyle stickers in the glove box - apparently they only put them on if you specifically ask for them now

    Hi Ron and welcome chap!! Just in case anybody was wondering, I spoke to Ron this afternoon and kinda invited him here via email so I can concur that he isn't here purely to sell his magic boxes - looking forward to getting mine and letting you know how it works soon.

    yay!! Freelander 6 - Conifers 0

    I cut down some conifers 6 months ago and left about 2 foot above the ground to wait until I was 'in the right mood' (yeah right!!) to dig them out - then I hit on a whizzo idea yesterday - dragged em out using the Gaylander, a rigid tow hitch and a length of chain - was great fun and made me...
