Thanks for the inspiration! I did downloaded the Haynes manual yesterday and now looking forward to the weekend so as to start the ball rolling.

Its a PETROL :mad: I know ..... thats y so many problems but I will take note of that much oil is spilled into a proper container! Awesome! Thanks... will pop into one of those places to see what they are saying! I see Halfords do their 'own' make as well, them any good? Or shall I stick to...

A nuclear scientist aint born one ... learns over the years! No comparison... but with the way these LandRovers breakdown the sooner I start to learn to tinker with my car the better. So Nathan no need for such harsh words... :) just trying to learn and getting advice from you fellas...

Hello guys, its been sometime since I have changed the engine oil and this time I want to do it myself so need your expert adivce! I found an article online so can someone please first of all tell me the validity of this thing: How to Change the Oil in Your Car - wikiHow Can you recommend...

Right guys, the AA man came and guess what its a bizzare one. There have been some odd connections made in the fuse box, and some fuses have been bypassed. The wire that was doing this moved hence powering down the speedo, revo and odo! So a bit of tinkering and its been sorted for now. I have...

Thanks Dan, just rang out AA, hopefully they can tune it! If not then I will try going to a garage. Like I mentioned earlier am just a complete 'daft' when it comes to cars. But do you think its fuses?

I am a complete novice! How do I do that? Any guide/instructions?

Yesterday my keys go stuck in the fuel cap and in a hurry to take it out I dismantled the whole cap. Now I need a new fuel cap, any suggestions where I buy it from? Does Halfords sell them? Thanks

Hi guys, Well my mrs is itching to start driving the freelander but wary of steep hills or drives I suppose. She is sacred if she is stuck on a gradient she won’t be able to accelerate forward (without risking going backwards). Ever since I have the Freelander I haven’t ever used the...

Hi Guys, the inevitable has happened lolll... its gone along with a piston burn out! So been quoted about 800 quid by garage... is dat ok price to pay fr head gasket problem? Sorry to ask but am totally naive ... need help bigggg time!

What’s with the pessimism? Unlike a lot of people here I'd like to think it won’t! And even if it does then its like "any other" niggle on "any other" car. J I believe in my Landy! Love cruising the beautiful Scottish roads ever since I moved up here from England.
