i think ill pass on that one maxw thanks. ive been drawn into the idea of popping some disco ones in.

Are the seats out a disco forward facing or have you put them in sideways.Just want something safe and cheap if it's possible.

I'm looking for a couple or even one forward facing seat.Not wanting to be spending silly money and travel miles.I live in west Yorkshire so if any one has one spare please let me know.thanks:)

hi there just wondered if any one is in a similar situation. well basically my hippo (2000) has a low biting point and judders when pulling away in first sometimes.Ive read a few articles about it but no joy really without pulling out the box it seems.Any way to adjust the biting point? cheers...

i got it what aload of bollocks if you ask me, nothing better to do than try convert farmer boys into buddist haha

i got this irwin set at work and have had it for about two years and its a great set to have.Well worth the money as its saved me lots of time with those rusty bolts and nuts.

sounds like when your tracking has been adjusted its been adjusted on one side more than the other so a little adjustment equally bothsides should move the track rod across which will striaghten the wheel and the tracking will be in spec if done properly.Sounds like abit of a cowboy whos done...

thanks for advice turned out to be the lower bearing there was nothing left of it but now i changed both bearings and filled with grease and the play has gone thanks for your help

the first nut is fully tight and plenty play so its still on stands and not adjusted cos the play is still there.Can swivel bearings be re adjusted or complete unit (just in middle of finding where the manual has been hidden) cheers john

its an old one 200tdi with two nuts.Well its got new wheel bearing so its got to be somehing else maybe swivel bearings but the play is like the wheel is loose would this be right if the swivel bearings worn? cheers john

yeah i got one but when the nut is locked up fully tight there is lots of play so surely slackening it off will make it worse?

hi there just need abit of advice well basically my dads disco failed MOT on drivers side front wheel bearing play.So he fit new wheel bearing and there is still loads of play there when nut is fully tight? Is it the shaft which the hub goes onto thats worn? :confused: cheers john

mine has similar problems so i had vcu checked and it was ok been told it could be fault with ird.Just dont worry about it seems like alot of freelander owners have this problem and just live with it

try an engine service and add a fuel treatment additive which are supposed to help

what kind of warning lights? your prob best getting it plugged into diagnostic machine and it willl give a error memory read out or might even be able to clear the memory either way you tell you what needs doing
