Ok. Also there are some spare plugs in the centre section under the storage compartment. I assume they are for a 12v socket. I will try and find a socket on ebay to fit.

Ok great thanks. On the subject of wiring..... i have a reverse camera to be wired up. I have fed it through a rear grommet in the boot near the passenger side rear wiring for the lights. What cables should i connect to where! Thanks

Hi Around the handbrake there are x4 rocker switches. x3 dont do anything and the 4th controls the rear window. When taking the centre console out i noticed that the top right (when looking at it) was plugged in but its a blank switch? What is the optional switch that goes here? Is it something...

When i bought it the tyres were down at 14 psi. I topped them up to 32 psi all round. This ok?

It worries me a bit all the 'you're screwed you bought a LR' jokes on here!! Are they really that bad?! I bought a turbo diesel engine as i understood these to be the best all round engine in the range?

Ok good info thanks. Mine has a factory fitted alarm also. Sometimes when i unlock the car (1 press opens drivers door only) and get in there is a beeping sound and a red light flashing. Is this the alarm telling me something is open/left on?

Thanks for all the advice. I will do the one wheel test when i replace the backbox which has a snapped hanger. And I don't think its a weird question when this is a community forum for help and advice? I can google questions in future no problem.

Hi This freelander is my 1st 4x4. Its a auto 05 SE with 67k on the clock. I think it has a couple of extras like heated seats and headed windscreen? Dont know if there is anything else. Also on here i read about vcu? Ird? 2wd conversion? Im not sure if mine has this or not and also whats the...

Can you not fit it yourself? Its only a few screws to take the centre console and radio out then all you do is unplug and replace with new unit. Make sure you get the correct wiring adapter with steering wheel control if needed. Also you will need a surround for the new unit. Halfords will want...

The only place i could find a M7 nut was the land rover parts centre, other than online. Anyway the car is back together and definitely feels more responsive after the new pipercross air filter, bmw crank case mod and egr blanking mod. On the first start there was a cloud of black/grey/white...

Thanks!

This nut needs to reappear soon as im really struggling to find anything to match!

The manifold was in place. Im pretty sure it was stuck in the end of the socket as i got it out the set, clipped it on to use it and it went somewhere down the alternator side. I heard something drop but didnt realise it was that till i was 1 short at the end. I will take the manifold off and...

I left it alone and will hope that it clears itself. However when putting the inlet manifold back i dropped a threaded nut and god knows where it went!! Its a really awkward size and nothing i tried was the same. Even searched under the bonnet of my work van!

I have been told by a mechanic they will clean up in time as im not confident to start messing inside the engine. It will be running cleaner with the egr bypass fitted so fingers crossed
