I love the D3s but don't like the idea of the body off for any of the maintenance that may need requiring. Seems a bit of a design fault to me. But as a car, I can't fault them.

GrumpyGel thanks for that informative reply. :)
Yep, a Defender is far to expensive and stealable to be used. My L322 has been remarkably reliable in the 8 years I have owned her but far too juicy to use for a daily commute. It seems the Freelander is the future of LR ownership. I would love to...

Thanks for the replies so far :)
poolander, sounds like yours is more of a project then a daily driver. Typically LR experiences then.

OK, so I have just found the thread "Freelander - Everything you need to know" which helps! haha
But any owners input on living with one daily would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

So I am in the market for a vehicle to drive to my local train station. Want something that runs all year round but that is not going to get stolen (like a defender might, if I left there). Needs to be economical (better than a Range), so thought about getting a Freelander 1 TD4. Going to be...

Just searched online for that part number and it comes back saying it has been superseded by the part I bought.

Which doesn't have the connecting screws that attach it to the torsion bar or to the sensor itself. ...

Mines a 2002 and the arm is part 5K483 in the first diagram. Which looks like the mounts are part of the arm/rod.
The plastic arm/rod part I bought look very much like 5K483 in the second picture. in diagrams 3C190A and 3C190B.

Glad you didn't do what I did. Left it in drive, after turning ignition off. Sat in the car while waiting for the missus. Then tried to start the car and nothing. After a bit of blind panicking realised I had left it in Drive. You live and learn.

Had one of my front air suspension sensors snap. Well the bolt that fits into the strut arm. Sensor and everything else works fine just had to cable tie it to the strut for it to work.
I ordered a couple of new linkage arms (which are now plastic) but they don't come with the bolt/screw...

Have you checked your starter motor? I had similar issue and thought it was the ignition switch (as that is a common fault) turned out it was just the starter motor.

As Brian said check the headlamp wash, that was draining mine. I ended up pulling the fuse out and has been fine ever since. Don't have headlamp wash but at least the car starts :)

Was out in my 2001 110 CSW TD5 this afternoon when one of my speakers started to crackle and then could smell the good old burning wire smell. I pulled the car over and switched the ignition off and checked to see if i could smell where the smell was coming from. Had no joy so decided to drive...

So I bought myself a Nanocom Evolution to be able to reprogram a key fob (which i have done) and to sort out why my courtesy lights don't come on when doors open (discovered rear door switch wasn't connected, but lights still don't work properly). I've still not been able to resolve the courtesy...

I will but may have to distract here while I get a few accessories :rolleyes:
