Thanks for the advice saint. advice and tips off you and everyone else in this thread have made my trip into the RR section of landyzone a pleasure. ill post again at the weekend to let you know if i buy it.

Thanks for all the info guys.. brill advice. Ive found what looks like a cracker.. Its a jan 2001 X plate, 2.5 DHSE auto.. Its got 101k on it, full LR history, every item works down to the heated seats and all the door solonoids!! (unlike the freelander!) ,, no rut or lauer peel anywhere, no...

Thanks guys, Appreciate all your comments and advice, and its nice to see so much expertese and helpfulness on this part of the landyzone forum. After all your comments, more research and careful consideration, i think im going to plump for the 2.5 diesel with auto box.. If i can get 25 mpg+...

Thanks Tcubed.. I did fancy the diesel to start with.. but was told coupled with the auto box to only expect 24-26 to mpg and that it was sluggish as hell? My line of thinking was if i had a 4.0 V8 with LPG, id be expecting about 18mpg.. as LPG is half the cost of petrol, pound for pound id...

Hi guys, After having my freelander for 2 years now, I’ve chosen to upgrade to a P38 rangie.. Ive always wanted one, and im sick of either running out of space in the freelander, or running out of puff when towing. Ive been keeping my eye out for a 4.0 V8 to either convert to LPG myself, or if...

Hi guys, Anybody had any issues with the SRS light staying on after youve removed/replaced the wheel?

Hippo speaks sense again.. No matter whatever relative has been in whatever job, for how long, you can always count on this... Assumption is the mother of all **** ups. Get to MOT station, ask and watch test... NO rollers on a permanant 4wd vehicle.. If you choose not to ask and...

Thanks guys, Alan, tried the linseed oil, and it works a treat.. But it just leaves a sticky resedue on my bumpers afterward that my kids just seem to get on their clothes!! Think ill stick to the WD40 (which looks fab!) Mantamad, did you have to do much prepwork to it? And what was the...

Some varying prices there guys.. Hippo, thanks for the last comment.. Top advice as always. Im guessing i need 4 wheel alignment doing as its 4wd?? I have a steering wheel wobble that gets quite noticable over 30mph, and the jeep is now pulling to the left.. Ive noticed my passenger front tyre...

Cheers Rhodie... cheaer than i was expecting :rolleyes:

Any of you peeps on here colour coded your freelander 1 black (or grey:)) bumpers??? theres a hippo i see alll the time around my local area, its 51 plate, a sort of dark metallic maroon/red, but its had all of its plastic trim colour coded.. Ive got to be honest, it looks the dogs bollocks...

Hi guys, Any of you had the above done lately?? Just wondering how much it costs roughly.. Had my hippo for about 15 months now, so never had the 4 wheel tracking done before.. Every car i had before was 2 wheel drive and cost me a tenner to do, so was just wonderin what the hippo will cost...

Wulf, Good luck mate - let us know how you get on.. Ever since i changed the coolant temp sensor, the MIL light has stayed off. Just to let you know, the temperature guage on the dashboard of an L series is off another sensor.. So if your coolant sensor is screwed (like mine was!) your dash...

Hi again guys, Its only the steering wheel wobbling.. no other vibrations or judders anywhere.. gears all engae smoothly, car doesnt shudder or anything, just the steering wheel wobble.. This started after i got out of that saturated field about 4 or 5 weeks ago, and now over the last two...

Just thought id ask, but do any of you guys think the wheel wobble through the steering wheel is connected to this droning noise, or is it just coincedence? Ill go to a garage Tuesday and ask them to balance all my wheels just for the hell of it, then we'll see if the wheel wobble goes... I...

I must have done the same freelaner... We must both have the same luck :rolleyes:

Hiya Singvogel, Yes, saw your thread.. I think unless someone else on here has any other suggestions, ill just have to take the prop off as planned, and see if the noise goes.. To be honest, im starting to sweat a bit.. a few peeps on here saying IRD or VCU failiure etc.. I dont need that...

could be i suppose.. Funny you should say that, cos i am actually planning to take the prop off sometime durng the next 2 weeks.. I think its beyond my skills tho, considering my lack of garage and narrow drive with chippings.. A friend of a friend of mine is gonna do it in his garage for...

wulf, no havent checked the caliper guide pins.. wouldnt be sure how to either :confused: freelaner, Yes-give it a hell of a jetwash after i got out of the field, and two or three since.. absolutely blasted all the mud and stuff off underneath.. Do you think mud could possibly cause an...

cheers mad, be easier for the scrap man to lift on to the back of his pick up then ;)
