Hi Helijohn, Your idea of using neodymium magnets would certainly be possible however the design of the plate if it is fitted correctly into the fixing position on the roof should be all that is needed. The added protection a couple of magnets placed above the plate near or next to the "dummy"...

Thanks Alibro, I'm not a mechanic but with help online, my Haynes manual along with a little patience it helped to get the job done.

Roof Rails Are On Thanks for all the advice everyone. I bought a small Endoscope from the net. I passed the camera section through the bolt hole on the outer roof and couldn't find the metal threaded plate in the roof void. After lots of thought I decided to pull part of the head lining away to...

Yes, I had thought about that and I've got my work cut out.

Hi Grumpy, Like you it feels as though there is another layer of metal above the roof lining. I'm going to have a poke around to see if I can find the plate. I'm not too hopeful and may well just give up on it. Thanks. PS I may have a pair of roof rails for sale shortly ;)

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help. I bought and started to fit a pair of roof rails to my 2006 Freelander 1 Td4 (5 door). I removed the two bolts from the offside rear fitting point and the threaded plate under the roof fell away into the roof space. I tried the offside front fitting...

Nodge, My guess is that replacing a clutch is difficult job. Is it possible to do it on the driveway or am I going to have to take it to a garage? Any ideas what cost it might be? Thanks.

Hi Satnav, My slave cylinder apparently is inside the clutch housing (Haynes manual) and isn't accessible so I don't think I can use WD40. Thanks

Hi Nodge, It's got 71K on the clock and I thought the clutch might be giving up but was hoping someone would tell me different :(

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help please. This is my first Land Rover which I bought about 2 months ago and I'm not a mechanic. (The limit of my expertise is to change hoses, crankcase breather and EGR valve.) The clutch on my 2006 Freelander Td4 is stiff to push down. I only need to...

Hello everyone, my first post. 2 months ago I bought the Freelander Adventurer, my first Land Rover. I got a new Labrador puppy and decided I needed something I could take her into the country with. I soon found at about 70mph there was no way the Land Rover would go any faster no matter how...
