There's normally plenty on eBay. Should be less than a tenner. You need to know whether you need a 1997-2001 switch or a 2001-onwards switch because they are different and you're right in the middle! Cheers Rog

Ok, I've measured my letters and they are 38mm. Does anyone have an FL2 who could measure a letter on their bonnet for me? Thanks Rog

Hi I want new letters for my bonnet. Does anyone know if the FL2 letters are the same size as FL1 letters? I've checked a few places online and for some reason FL2 badges are cheaper. Cheers Rog

My old TD4 averaged 37mpg all the time I had it. T seem t make much difference if it was round town or n a run. Cheers Rog

Interesting. Where do you have it mounted in your FL? Also, how wide are the door pockets on a 3 door? On my 5 door i can stand a bottle or can in the pocket without usinh the strap. Is the pocket on the 3 door big (and flat enough at the bottom) for this either? Cheers for the eBay link...

The door bin on the 3 door doesn't go the whole length of the door and looks about the same size. I was thinking it might be possible to remove the door pocket from the door card and swap just the pockets? I've looked for the dash top holder but they seem to be filed along with hens teeth...

Quite right! The previous owner's info is protected (name, address, etc) but the history of the car is not. Every time I buy a car I email the dealers in the service book asking for copy invoices and service records. They always send them but with the customer's details blanked out. You...

Does anyone know why 3 door FLs don't have bottle holders in the door pockets? Is it possible to bodge the door pockets from the 5 door to fit the 3 door? Cheers Rog

I suspected that would be the case! Worth asking though. Cheers dude Rog

The one I'm looking at does have heated windscreen so that's one thing to tick off. Can anyone tell me if the facelifted FLs suffer from any of the following which I know are common to pre-facelift cars - and some of which I suffered from with my original FL! 1. Tailgate window issues...

Cheers for that! I've found a 2004 brochure so know exactly what I am looking for (SE/Freestyle/HSE). New interior, parking sensors, half leather, elec folding mirrors, etc, etc... Cheers Rog

Hi I have recently sold my 52-reg TD4 as I want to buy a facelifted 04/05-reg TD4. After a few years of Hippo ownership I know pretty much what to look out for but can anyone tell me if there is anything different or commonly wrong with the facelifted FL1's? Is it just the same stuff as a...

It MAY fail the test... As with a lot of these things it can depend on who you get actually doing the test. Some will be more thorough than others. Cheers Rog

While it has always been an offence to sod around in any way with number plates (spacing, punctuation, stickers, etc, etc) it is a recent change that means that MOT centres are looking for this too. On a number plate, you are only allowed to display: - Blue rectangle with Euro symbol with GB...

I have just checked the LR specs for the FL Sport (2004/2005MY) and there is no mention of the suspension being any different on the Sport to the other models. Your's should be about the same as any other. You don't say if your's is a 3 or 5 door but the 3 door is a little bit taller (not...
