freelander 2 2007,recently purchased for my wife(i run a defender90) its been absolutely fine up till now all of a sudden its been a bit erratic on this button start up system it has, (very carlos fandango!!) compared to what i'm used to anyway, battery is fine had it tested , you jump in put...

it was on it when purchased the 90 but looks like its had some work in the past due to gasket seal every where!! ex AMEC vehicle so been in a large pit somewhere in its life.

Any ideas i think its the transfer box!! uj's are all fine but if you've ever had one fail slowly its the same symptoms and thats exactly what i thought till i checked underneath , drove from oxon to shropshire all fine got to Droitwich spa and she was shaking like a gooden! power on still...

every day work and back, for my fishing,logging,going down to Shropshire to visit the folks love it love love it , the only time i havent been able to use it is when some one kindly takes it off my drive and puts it in a container and ships it far away :doh:

Its a scary fact that if they want it they will just take it and the fancier you make it the more it stands out , I speak from experience unfortunately having had 2 defender 90s pinched off my drive !! I know have an alarm immob with tilt sensors because the bastards jack it up and tow it on a...

I'm with NFU and they are really good, but now this is my 2nd defender thats been pinched i'm a tad nervous about response and what my premiums are going to be !! like i said i have bought a mates 90 allready its just a cheap one but it will keep me mobile. watch this space!!!!

ground anchors will be on order monday!!! , me mates sold me his old 90 to keep me mobile , and its tax exempt as well !!! ,does any one want to run a book on how long i can keep this one!!!. The irony is the f*@king locks will be worth more than the 90!!!

Morning , security was a massive steering lock ,and security posts (drop in the ground jobs), but the trouble is i was working on the house and had part of the fence removed for the concrete lorry to back in , so the post was no deterent!! so they caught me off guard, as usuall other things on...
