    Steering wheel control for aftermarket head unit?

    Humm, that bit about the remote - My head unit has one of those. There are no wires in the kit that have something that looks like an aux connector? What are these patch things I keep reading about? The first woman said I'd need a patch as well as the harness but then when she looked it up...

    Cruise control?

    Right I have a cruise control button which does light when pressed up on my center console. On my steeringwheel I seem to have a cut out where the controls should go. Any ideas whether or not I'll be able to just buy the steering wheel controls and it will work? I have a ES model 2001...

    Steering wheel control for aftermarket head unit?

    I have the autoleads thing but I cant find anything with the right connector on the end? I've currently got my freelander in bits in front of the house - luckily my other one isn't gone yet. Went back to halfords to confirm it was the right one for the car and they said yet. I also stopped by...

    Steering wheel control for aftermarket head unit?

    I bought an alpine head unit from halfrauds last week. Fitted that with no problem. I also told them I'd like to keep the steering wheel functions so they looked it up on their system and told me I'd need a harness for it but they would have to order it. So I ordered it. Came to fit it today...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Well, I routed in my new cd players microphone today. Although the car's interior is in bits at the moment in front of the house. I also paid for some tax. I attempted to fix the central locking on the drivers side but failed. The locksmith I spoke to said the motor was working as he could...

    It has a plastic screw type thing with numbers on. I think the owner did say the thumb screw had broken off. I have to change it with a screw driver. :( Owner on here. Didn't report that it didn't work. In fact he said it transformed his car. I find it hard to see how it could be broken...

    I don't think it helps having a 101 other jobs to do (having being made redundant, weddings, honeymoons, school reports to write, planning, marking etc and car detailing every spare moment (a business I have just set up). Hopefully after tomorrow I will have a little bit more time.

    Lol, yeah I know most of those things are normal things or even things I just want to do. It's just the little things like boots opening, electric faults, off noises every so often (not consistant though...).

    Well most of you know I've had my freelander now for around 2 weeks. I spent a while on here researching things and finding out there was no way on earth I'd buy a petrol one. So opted for a TD4. Finding one was a bloody hard task as many were in a bit of a mess or not quite how they were...

    I am biding my time until I have serviced the car. Haven't a spare minute at the moment.

    I'm at work. Wonder if its here. Doesn't look that easy to fit. I'll be honest, I haven't ready any guides. Is it just a matter of taking the engine cover off and the induction piping? Does the inlet need to come off or the injector rail?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    What do you guys think about fitting some rear tints to a 3 door with a hard back? I cant imagine it's easy to fit window tints but its gonna be about 150 quid saving. I've had window tints fitted before and I do like them. I can get the backseat windows, hardback windows and rear tailgate...

    It's only on setting 2. Doesn't seem to be as smokey now Ive plugged the EGR back in but it still is a little smokey.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Thats a good price, cheapest I found a few weeks back was £25. I was looking for 3 door ones thoug. I'll have another look on the bay next month. I have just bought a fob for my freelander and am having that re-programmed to the car tomorrow. another £50 quid spent! Although I'm sure having...

    I can't wait to get my stuff fitted but then I was underwhelmed with the synergy Think I expected too much and all I got was a load of black smoke. Really hope these couple of mods stop this.
