    Does Freelander have aux heater??

    Its confirmed i have a small exhaust outlet in front of the wheel in the n/s wheel arch - guess that was pretty jammy really as the previous owner didn't know it was fitted!! Is it a serviceable item or does it require any routine maintenance? I can't find anything that relates to it in my...

    Does Freelander have aux heater??

    That is very clever!! I will check under the n/s wheelarch for an exhaust then. Be quite nice if it does have it, were they fitted to many or would it have been quite an expensive option by Land Rover? Si

    Does Freelander have aux heater??

    Ming - thanks for that, that's exactly what I had heard of before. Is there any way of actually confirming it has one?? Also does it work independently on it's own I.e switches on and off on some sort of thermostat?? And what's the idea behind it, as on this occasion it was on when I switched...

    Does Freelander have aux heater??

    I only ask because the other night it was quite chilly and I drove home from work and parked the Freelander on the drive. I could hear a noise which I can only describe as similar to that which comes out a central heating boiler flue if you were stood outside?!? It only ran for 10 or 20 secs and...

    Range Rover Alloys?!?

    Do they fit is basically what I need to know?!? Didn't know whether anyone had ever fitted RR alloys to a Freelander, I really like some of the replica styles they do but wondering if they are going to be too big/wide for the Freelander?? Any pictures if anyone has done it would be...

    TD4 Sport / Sport Premium ???

    towbar fitting price

    Optimus - if buying a used bar from eBay, will any Freelander 1 bar fit mine or do i need to look for an '03 onwards bar?? Wasn't sure if anything changed underneath in '03. Also from a fitting point of view does it make any difference whether the bar is a 'flange' type or 'swan neck' do they...

    Good lr garage fred

    A&D, Bridgwater Road, Wimscombe in Somerset have just impressed me, done a great job on my Freelander. Super friendly service backed up by some actual knowledge about Land Rovers and turned it round in 2 days. Can't ask fore more than that. Si

    What can do in my new Freelander??

    Thanks Hippo - how do you find the grabbers on the road?? Do they generate much noise on a run. Having said that somebody said I a a bit limited on tyre choice as I have 18's on my Freelander - not sure if that's correct or not. Had a defender once - missus hated it, it leaked more oil than a...

    What can do in my new Freelander??

    That's a cracking vid Hippo! Think that answers all my questions. Is your Freelander a standard road spec one or have you made improvements to allow you to tackle that sort of terrain? It's good to know it's going to serve me and the family well, I feel confident we made the right choice. Was...

    Michelin Pilot Primacy tyres

    I was just searching for tyre threads - the previous owner fitted Kuhmos which have plenty of life in them but as the winter draws nearer would quite like something a bit more suited to inclement conditions - would you recommend the Lattitudes for such use? Where I live we got hit quite hard...

    TD4 Sport / Sport Premium ???

    Ah I see, well I have a Sport, no premium that I know off although it has very strange seat material - almost like Goretex outer bolsters with all I can describe as 'bubbles' in the centre panels?!? Very unusual but great for me and with a new baby soon looks very wipe friendly!! Lol!! Si
