    installed CB in dash

    I fancy sticking a small 2m/70cm rig in my freelander but not sure what to do with switches. I don't mind losing the sunroof switch and tailgate window switch. That still leaves me with 2 front window switches and central locking switch to fit in...

    Strange noise from front

    Hi All, I have a strange noise coming from the front of my 2000 5 door. Noises are hard to describe but it almost sounds like low wind/whistly note with slight 'scrape' overtones.

    Hi All, Was fitting my new cat and exhaust yesterday, spent a few minutes scratching my head as I offered up the middle section to the cat - turns out the flange bracket has been welded on upside down!
