I have a 2000 4.6 P38. Vibration at 70mph was a pain. Tried all the normal replacements. And had the tyres balanced to 0 (which I still do). One day an Aston Martin went by at colossal speed I said "wow" but my wife said "yes but he doesn't have our 70mph wobble!" Eventually including the wobble...

I have a 2000 model with TV screens in the back. First replace the batteries in the remote. On each rear door shut you will see a button which changes the mode you should have separate remote for that, on mine it was VHT TV, DVD and PlayStation ( and digital TV which I added later) so select...

Just back from a long trip to Denmark. Just under 3,000 miles, never missed beat. Perfect.

Changed my upper and lower ball joints a couple of months ago. Have put some photos on Photobucket but unable to place them on this site for some reason. Worked fairly recent on another subject? Job was very difficult as they must have been the originals. pm me with your email address and I will...

I have used TyrePal for the last two years. The warning of loosing pressure in one of the tyres (on more than one occasion) probably saved an incident and with possible replacement of the tyre if it had gone flat at motorway speed. Recommend.

Work done today: fit new stainless front section exhaust, replace oil (DIII) in trans box, new filter and oil (DIII) in auto gearbox, replace both diff oils, grease all nipples.

Washed her a reward as just returned from Scotland didn't miss a beat. :)

Needed low ratio so selected neutral and moved to low. A few beeps and Select Neutral was permanently displayed. I still had High ratio so drove home to loads of beeps (lucky it wasn't a long way). To cut a long story short the problem was the XYZ switch. The switch had seized solid so when...

www.frost.co.uk £14.99 per litre treats 30 litres of coolant. If you use, as I do, a high persentage of anti-freeze, this inhibits the effectiveness of the coolant heat transfer abilities. I tow a lot and in severe summer heat with air-con on, everything helps. Go on the site and read the...

Just a thought, someone I know has just purchased an early L322 he got it cheap as the air suspension didn't work (thousand off). Although the battery seemed OK starting etc He put a new battery on and up came the suspension. Could be the disconnection (use proper method in owners manual) or...

Interesting replies. Thanks

Stay Cool is suposed to help prevention of overheating. Apparently it gives improved heat transfer, making a faster warm up and better coolig - up to 15 deg. C reduction in engine operating temperature.

Finished upper and lower ball joints on passenger side. Also fitted new caliper and brake disk, was a horrible job. Have to start on the drivers side next.

Anyone in Denmark (Jutland) with Hawkeye to helpwith a 2001 Freelander 1 TD4 with the three amigoes lights that need a reset.

Ordered a set of Upper and Lower steering knuckle ball joints for when the weather is better. One side the lower has brocken rubber and the other side looks sad. So needs doing at a bit over 200,000 miles. No mention of these having been changed in the service history.
