    Twisting rubber sound when braking...kinky

    Someone in a previous thread has mentioned that these may be worth a look Flo-Flex Polyurethane Limited What do people reckon?

    Twisting rubber sound when braking...kinky

    Forgot to mention, the sound is also rotational, decreases with speed and seems to be coming from the back of the vehicle although it could be that it's transferring from the front. Scaffold

    Twisting rubber sound when braking...kinky

    Afternoon all, Another day, another heart ache! Just returned from a 300mile round trip in the Freelander in one piece [gotta be worth a cheer :beer2:] but it's developed yet another piece of the rich tapestry I like to refer to as 'character'. Having replaced the VCU, bearings and front...

    Sunglasses holder removal

    Thanks both. That's all a bit belt and braces isn't it? I haven't weighed my sunglasses recently but I doubt they'd trouble the two screws visible and a couple of plastic lugs! Morgs

    Sunglasses holder removal

    Morning all, Try to tidy up my Freelander whilst keeping it on the road, and one easy [I thought] step was the removal of the sunglasses holder mounted above the rear view mirror. Two piece hole blank removed and two screws taken out and...nothing. I'm obviously missing something. I've...

    Introducing the rolling project. TD4 tinkering

    SES88 - I must admit there was more space in my auto MR2 than my manual, but my attitude is that once I'm in I'm not going anywhere in a hurry! I was politely surprised with the room inside the mx5, positively spacious. Though taking me and a mate [6'4"] from Glastonbury to Liverpool and back in...

    Introducing the rolling project. TD4 tinkering

    So how much less space is in the 5dr then? I'm guessing a fair wedge? If it's anything like other cars I've had with an electric tilt and slide sun roof you're already losing a couple of inches head height before you start? If only LR had gone to the trouble, and I'm sure minimal cost, of...

    Introducing the rolling project. TD4 tinkering

    All of that and you picked up on me squeezing myself into a Freelander?! No mention of the gymnastics needed to get me into an mx5?! I guess that I've just gotten used to fitting into things, and adapted to suit. I actually find the Freelander pretty comfortable compared to previous runners...

    Hi there, I’m Scaffold [it’s a height thing – I’m 6’11”] Long time lurker, short time poster so I thought that I ought to finally introduce myself and my truck. Having written off my mx5 through an unexpected altercation with an unsecured load on the M1, it became apparent that a slightly more...

    Hi All. New Freelander owner in Somerset

    Oh, and I almost forgot the issues I had when first filling up the truck in anticipation of heading up to Lincolnshire. Of course, the new scavenger pump in the tank was a plus point when it came to selling, however, the lack of a neck seal when the garage undertaking the work had fitted it...
