    brake noise

    Freelander has now clocked up about 15k miles in 6 months and, other than the odd niggle, all seems well - I have never been that impressed with the brakes on the car but have put this down to the fact that I have previously owned 'sportier' cars and I am not used to the Freebies more...

    Td4 explodes on the M4

    Hate to sound harsh but I couldnt agree more with MK6 Cortina/Sierra/Mondeo bloke Just because the one you bought isn't up to scratch doesnt mean that every single one will be the same - I like this forum but tend to stay away as it can be so bloody negative! Yes there are people who have had...

    How to fit alloys???

    Howard I would take heed of the advice if I were you - the best scenario is that the steel and the alloy will react together and the studs will lock onto the wheel and become a pain in the arse - the worst is that they will damage the wheel and end up causing an accident

    Good things about Freelanders

    Tops on my list has to be the road 'presense' that you get from the driving position - much better than the other 4x4's I tried Comfy as anything Piece of **** to drive (TD4 Auto) Offroad capabilities that far outweigh my own capabilities (or needs) Looks the dogs danglies I can...

    OOH i dunno Jerry - I have a 1971 2.6 V6 Ford Taunus - the log book still says it is a 2.0l Ford Taurus even after writing to them about 1/2 a dozen times - they keep sending the new log book back with a slip saying they acknowledge my comments and have ammended accordingly - Ford's VIN decoder...

    What's happening to my Freelander?

    you a member of either RAC or AA? If so ask to speak to their legal dept and seek advise from them, they offer a fair bit of advise for free that they do not really advertise, they will also undertake vehicle inspections for you at a reasonable price - because they arent trying to sell you any...

    How hard can it be to remove my Freelander stereo?!
