I missed the TD4 bit. Typical of me to only read half the post before responding...

Also check out the clutch bracket. Mine had exactly the same problem, and was taking most of my strength to change gear sometimes. Changing the bracket sorted it permanently.

I took my 2001 K-series on a european road trip several years ago. 4,000 miles through 9 countries over 14 days. Never missed a beat. Also done several much longer trips in the UK. Perfect each time. As long as it's kept maintained, it'll last forever. I've owned mine since 2006. I've...

Not looking for any myself, just looking at the project threads and it dawned on me that I hadn't seen any for the FL1, but then again, I hadn't been actively looking for them either.

I'll admit I only had a cursory look, but the few sites I was looking on simply said "delivery when in stock", or "direct from manufacturer", with nothing concrete. Thought you guys would know for sure... :)

I was reading through some of the project threads where people were simply buying repair panels for discos, series etc and wondered if anything like that was available for the freebie 1?

I couldn't find any, even the commercial ones, so I made my own. Single sheet of plywood, some glue and a jigsaw. Cost me about £20. Has space for petrol can, fire extinguisher, army surplus cool box and coolant bottle, plus numerous other spares. I can't take a pic as my rear door won't...

That clears up my confusion. Thanks Nodge :)

I've had landrover tell me on different occasions that the ES Premium and the HSE is the top spec for the freeby 1. Both were adamant it was the particular model they were talking about that was the best, so my question is, which is it really?

Is this a standard fit part? I've had my freebie for 11 years, and I've never seen it light up! But then, I didn't know there was a light in the glovebox until a few weeks ago...

I know it's orange, but is it a G4? Can't see the usual accessories... Nice easy fix for £500 though :)

Welcome to Landyzone. Feel free to ask any questions, even if you think they're stupid, and don't pay any attention to the idiots on the other boards, especially the trattor boys :)
