I bought a leather interior from eBay, complete with door cards and the heated seat switches to replace my cloth interior. Question is do I need to take any special precautions swapping it out? I don't want to set off the airbags or anything if I hit a sensor. All Haynes says is to...

Bought my 52 plate TD4 GS Auto nearly 4 years ago, 36,000 on the clock and have now doubled that. Only probs I've had apart from niggly cosmetic things have been a new battery, new window regulator, new anti roll bushes and new diff mounts (also new tyres & pads but this was part of regular...

Hmm Will see what the guys at the Garage say & point them at a quick google search as the general consensus is to use the N402. It does seem to be running really well but I don't want future issues for such a stupid thing as the type of fluid used. Anyone used anything but N402? What results...

Evening guys. Had my auto box drained & fluid replaced today. I'm currently staying in Scotland so don't have access to my ramps/trolley jack so booked it in for the work to be done at a local garage we trust. The guys in there all run Landys, 2 freelanders a 110 a p38 and a L322. Anyways...

Right, Told my Insurance company today about the mod (Co Operative insurance) and it raised my premium from £700 to over £2000! I told them that i was thinking about adding it. Just waiting on Adrian Flux getting back to me with their quotes because that is shocking.

Duff wiring or stuck switch somewhere, is it your air conditioning staying on, as in the little switch with the orange light, or is it your blowers are permanently on? If it's just the air con itself and not the blowers I would bet on a short in the wiring or a knackered switch, Give it a few...

Just a quick question, do you guys declare these to the insurers? Surely they are classed as an engine mod & push up the premium?

The interior lights suffer from corrosion. Remove the plastic housing and first check the bulbs. You should be able to see if a bulb has blown by the broken filament. If the bulbs are ok there can be problems with the pcb that operate the lights and the wiring loom connector. Remove the wiring...

You sure you just weren't trying to climb the hill with two few revs? I find if I feather foot it up some inclines here in Scotland the whole car will shudder, plant the accelerator in the carpet so it kicks down a gear and its fine, it's just trying to climb the hill in too high a gear with...

It's not really an achievement, and I don't see it as such. I always document vehicle mileage on my cars, always have done, and it fits this thread quite well.

Thanks Joe. It's just a cosmetic thing then, so no need to rush out & replace. They aren't leaking at all. I'll get some new ones ordered at the end of the month.

I've noticed all of the door window seals are starting to bubble on my 52 Freelander TD4. I've had a ton of Mini's in the past and this has always meant rust buried beneath them, has anyone found this to be the case on the freelander or is it the rubber perishing? I'm not able to take them off...

Hit 67k last week. Picture is a little shakey, was taken by my wife while I was driving back to Scotland last week on the A90

I got a cheap pattern part off a mate, it was in his shed waiting to replace on his car. Still working 18 months later but they are nowhere near as smooth as the genuine regulators. Mines made a funny creak/crunch since new.

Good Work. Looks like a nice example. Now hope the Land Rover gods are shining on you :) - Oh and get used to strange noises, at first you will freak out thinking something is broken but most of the time it's just the freelander arsing about.

I don't see it as a lazy mans car. I have a dishwasher & a washer dryer because I've better things to be doing than washing & drying, Electric toothbrush for cleaning the teeth, it's the same in the car, I like to concentrate on driving and less on clutch & gear changing. It's progress :)

Isn't the sport just a stiffened up Freelander? I never saw the appeal of sports 4x4, same with the RR Sport. Here is a review of the FL Sport from Auto Express back in the day But in this case, the nameplate is on the side of a diesel Land Rover. Disappointed? The firm thinks it's just what...

Had my car for a few years and the Jatco auto box has been brilliant. I can drive a manual, but since having the Auto I'd be very tempted to stick with Land Rover auto's. I'm looking at getting an L322 and they only use the Auto Box so looks like I'll be using an auto for years to come. The TD4...

It would depend on the price as to if this is a good deal? If he's offering it for a couple of grand might be worth a punt, if it's excessive then it wouldn't! Also, there are plenty of pages on this forum for common problems, have a scout through, make a list of things to check & check them...

Cut the cables and it should drop down with a bit of persuasion. Remove the door card and you will see the cables on the regulator. Cut them with pliers/wire cutters. Then put your palms on each side of the glass and slide it back into the door frame. You can then undo the glass clamps and...
