    Moisture/mould in rear passenger door quarterlight

    Hi Guys. Ive got a problem with mould/mildew forming in the quarterlight of the rear passenger door in my 5 door FL1 52 Plate. I've checked for moisture coming in on the window but the main window which goes up and down is fine with no problems at all. The small quarterlight on the rear door...

    50 quids worth of fuel in a td4????

    I wait until the light comes on then brim it. Get about £64 in it including filling half of the filler pipe. Out of that I get between 400-450 miles. Mixture of around town and motorway driving. 52 plate TD4 Auto with 55k on the clock & double dose of millers in every tank.

    New tyres - steering vibration

    Hi. I'm on the road so typing this on my phone, excuse typos. I had 2 new Goodyear wranglers fitted on Monday. I had them put on the rear axle and had the wheels from the rear swapped to the front as they seemed to have a few months grip in them. I've been driving around local roads at 40mph...

    injector cleaner

    I use a double dose in every tank of fuel. Have done so since I bought the car with 36000 miles on it. Now got 56000 miles on my 52 plate Auto and the engine still runs sweet. Acceleration receives a little improvement over time and I never really get any black smoke even under the hardest...

    Rear bumper lights (indicators) - condensation

    I removed both lenses and inspected them. There was a thin layer of mold/algae inside the lamps covering the entire casing and some of the clear lenses. Gave them a thorough wash out & bleached them to make sure. Then filled them with water and dried to check for leaks on the lenses, not a drip...

    Rear bumper lights (indicators) - condensation

    Thanks Guys. Will check the bulb seals. Will also fill the lenses with clean water to make sure there aren't any cracks or holes letting water in. Anyone got a part number for the bulb seals/replacement bulb holders?

    Rear bumper lights (indicators) - condensation

    Hi. Weird problem, when the nights started getting colder my rear bumper level lights on my 52 plate Freelander started to look damp. It is now at the point that during the day water droplets cover the inside of the light lenses, distorting the light and generally looking stupid. It seems to be...

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Thanks delisle One more quick question (probably a stupid one) Will mechanics be reluctant to work on a car with LPG conversions (such as AA, local independents etc) and will that mean it always has to go to a garage specialising in LPG? Like I say, probably a dumb question, but until...

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Thanks guys. Stunned by the response. Will definitely look for one that has been LPG converted already and will deffo check the diff recall has been done. Will let you know when I've bought one.

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Thanks guys. No to be honest I would rather not have black, but I want a light interior ( I don't like the dark leather). Will keep browsing and see what I can find. Quite like that green one.

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    philh how much did you pay for it with the LPG conversion already done? Petbe that sounds like a very reasonable price, prices seem to fluctuate a lot on autotrader/ebay etc and I guess they will only increase as we get into winter and people are after 4x4's again. I'm thinking of going to see...

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Thanks guys, lots of great responses. On a good run I'm only getting 32mpg out of the Freelander TD4 auto so 20 isn't too bad in the much bigger and more refined RR. I can't wait to join the club, trust me. I'll buy the RR petrol first and see how I get on fuel wise, I can always do the LPG...

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Thanks guys, a friendly bunch over here in the Range Rover threads. You have both tempted me into the petrol route now, the LPG would be a definite plus for me, and is really easy to get hold of up north. Any problems with the petrol engines with regards head gasket failures etc? Now all I've...

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Matt. Just been looking at your site. Your car looks stunning for a 2003 model. Can I be cheeky and ask how much you paid for the car pre your upgrades? and what was the purchase mileage :) John

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Thanks Davec for the responses. I guess I'll have to track down some used ones at dealers and test them out. The TDV8 was a beautiful engine but I can't warrant spending so much money on my first Range Rover. I'll try the TD6 and the 4.4 petrol and see which one feels better.

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Hi Matt. Thanks for the detailed response. What kind of MPG do you get from the petrol on motorway runs? The car will mostly be used on the weekend for driving from Cornwall to Manchester or Manchester to Dundee (have family up and down the country) so will mostly be long motorway runs which is...

    Upgrading from a Freelander to a Vogue - Some Questions

    Hi. I went and test drove a 58 plate Vogue SE last week and fell in love with it. Obviously made my Freelander feel like an old dog. I liked all the little toys on it such as reversing camera, 4x4 stats on the screen including the wheel alignment and the nice cooled blowing air leather seats...

    So I've bought one, now what?

    I Use the built in warning system on the Tom Tom which shows me the current speed limit on each stretch of road and pings if I go 3 miles per hour + over that speed limit. I've also got the speed cameras on my tom Tom as points of interest using the pocketgpsworld database Pocket GPS World -...

    Wiper Linkage kaput

    Hi Blippie. How do I do that, just wrap them around the joint to stop it popping off? Hoping the replacement linkage will be here on Wednesday, but I've got to drive myself to the hospital on Thursday for a scan so need to get there rain or shine. This cable tie trick might just prove vital.
