What decal did you fit? I have one of the bonnet decals from PowerfulUK to go on. I was thinking of getting something for along the side too.

Hi, Yeah checked all connections on the back of the stereo and they were fine. Will have another play with the wires tomorrow to see if I can get anywhere with it.

Hi, I've lost all sound to the front passenger speaker and tweeter. I've tested the speakers and both of them work fine. I'm no good with wiring and don't know what to do to get sound restored.

Hi all, Is there anyone in or near to North Lanarkshire that is good with speaker wires? Thanks in advance. Matt

Today I tried to fix the issue with my passenger speaker and tweeter not working, gave up in the end. I figured out it is the wiring and not the actual speakers and now don't know what to do as I'm not the best when it comes to wiring.

Thanks everyone for your help with this issue. I have now found the root cause of the problem and I'm just waiting for the replacement part to arrive. It was a relay, sometimes listed as either a fuel pump relay or a multi purpose relay. Part number was YWB100970. The faulty relay has now been...

That could be the one I've found then. The only other one I see is sitting by the radiator. I'll have a look at Rave when I get chance to see what that shows. I did have a look in the Haynes manual but that showed a fuse box for the later models I think. Looked nothing like mine.

Hi @Nodge68 It's the fuse I've pulled. Do you know where the relay is on a 1998 Freelander? I know there's a relay under the small fuse box in the engine bay but not sure what it powers.

Hi, I disconnected the interior lights around 6pm last night. Prior to that the battery and all fuses were connected and left at 2pm. Just went and checked the voltage and it has gone from 12.6v yesterday to 11.5v at 1.40pm today. I've unplugged the fuse again for the fuel pump and going to...

Thanks @Nodge68 I've disconnected the interior lights and will check tomorrow to see what the state of my battery is.

Hi all. I've decided recently to address the power drain issue that my Freelander has. I've ruled out the aftermarket stereo that is fitted and decided to start removing fuses to see if that had any effect. I removed the fuse (engine bay) for the injector/fuel pump (yellow 20) and left it for 24...

I'm not 100% certain how many miles they have done. Been on the car since I've owned it and it has covered 108k. Chance they may be original? Front ones seem fine for now and the ride does feel consistent front to back.

Not done today but the other week, I had a fight with some rusty nuts and bolts and then renewed the rear suspension.

Hi @Nodge68 Yeah I was told they were equivalent to the factory ones. It could just be me, sometimes it feels alright and other times it feels a bit harsh.
