Years ago, when I was poor and between Landies I had a Panda 4X4, the old un, 80's boxy thing. Bloody marvellous in the snow! Totally brilliant.......in snow, slow, noisy and thirsty in normal use! , rotted away v fast, awful interior, ah, now what did I have before it, a 109 2.6l petrol...

I used them for 3 years, 2 with the Disco and last year for the FL. Always found them helpful and quick to sort any paperwork, change of vehicle/job/use etc However this year found that to protect my NCB was a no option and to drive other cars not owned with owners permission thing was a very...

I agree with Angeloc, if in ANY doubt about the state of the vcu swap it for a Bell recon. Also I would replace the crankcase breather filter with the BMW cyclonic valve mod kit, about £20 from your local BMW dealer, just ask for the "innards" to suit the M47 breather box. I also sucked out as...

I, too, have tried everything, wishbones, all the bushes, all the ball joints, pulled, tugged, levered everything imaginable, measured clearances, checked replacement parts against old etc. Now, in desperation, drove down a local bumpy track at 15 mph with my head out of the window to try and...

If its a big nail, and/or very close to the outer edge of the tread, then it might still be repairable safely and legally. I had such a puncture on a nearly new Pirelli Scorpion on t'owd Disco. Go to a place that specializes in commercial vehcle tyres and ask for a vulcanized repair, cost about...

Just MOTed the Freelander, pass, no probs. Showing 80K on the odo! A year on and 8k miles by me and I've replaced or serviced... 2x oil filters, 2x oil, 1 each air, pollen and fuel filters, crank breather mod filter thing, stripped and cleaned EGR and removed vac pipe. Also, VCU, as a...

I got a genuine Bosch fuel rail sensor from The Landrover Centre in Huddersfield for £80 +vat. They do mail order too.

I fitted an "Allmakes" from "Landroverpartshop.co.uk" cheap, easy to fit, still works.

Thanks Edge, looks interesting. Noticed my mates ancient D1 "H" reg has a tiny silencer poking out behind the rear n/s mudflap. Doesnt seem to be over restrictive and it's quiet. Plenty of choice in slim aftermarket so called universal silencers, so may go this route. With bikes silencers need...

Hi all, My rear box has finally gone, it's the original one, so has lasted well I reckon. Would welcome any input from folk who have done exhaust replacements. I did fit a 3/4 Double S stainless system to my old Disco 300 TDi, it was excelent, but only a silencer seems to be available from them...

One morning in the last cold spell, it was just about at freezing point here, going by my newly fitted gauge. It had been a dry night and there was no frost or ice on the screen, local roads were dry, so no ice. 10 miles on, coming into work, noticed guage was -2, and this road isnt gritted, so...

I got one from Lidl, It's the same size as the clock in the dash, some folk have even replaced the original clock with these. Cost £4.99. Similar ones to be found on eblag. I fixed it in the extreme rh corner of the dash infront of the windscreen, works well, but the inside temp reading is way...

We use the Castrol Syntrans in DAF truck transmissions, 80 k between changes. Not cheap, but at least Freelander doesnt take 15L at a time.

Noises less today, so wondering if ARB has / is realigning itself in the D bushes now the links are fitted correctly. In reply to Creeg, my noise is more of a "groan squeek" rather than a metallic rattle or heavy clonk. Hith hindsight, the marks on the driveshaft could well be as a result of...

Just noticed today when changing the incorrectly fitted drop link that the TR end on that side is weeping a tad of grease from a tiny tear in the gaiter. Swapping over the drop link made an improvement, but the knock is still there. Niticed that there is a definite clean ring on the driveshaft...

OOOPS! Mechanic at work swapped mine a few weeks back, still didnt cure the knock, nor new bushes,ball joints etc. Was about to start blaming things such as a broken spring, loose upper turret mounts.......... Then I saw your pics. Guess what? One fitted nut inboard, one fitted nut outboard...

I tried an "Allmakes" pattern regulator. Been on 8 weeks, so far so good. Have kept the original motor just in case! The cables were shot, but motor ok!

The auto box in Freelander is brill! I had an auto 300TDi Disco before, the Freelander is sooo much nicer! Being electronic rather than hydraulic, it is much better in the way it responds to driver input, like changing down as one slows, or needs to accelerate to overtake. It also holds low gear...

Had similar fault today. Lost all power after approx 6 miles, finally died, 4o min wait for RAC man who tried the key and off!! Followed me to work approx 4 more miles, still gutless however, his diagnostics gave no indicators and the MIL lamp never came on. Local LR independant diagnostics...

Just got back from Scotland. Brimmed tank, one click, drove 90 miles, nearly all flat motorway, 65-70 to pick up mate, brimmed tank, one click, 9.9l !!!! Then did 1200 mles of driving to Wester Ross and back, loaded with camping gear, large mate, slightly smaller me and dog. I do like to crack...
