:o I know that now. As much as I like my Freelander I do find it lacking in some basic things like a bulb check and outside temperature which other much more basic cars have had for years now. It was one thing when the early model didn't have one but it could have easily been added on the...

The other day fitted Osram Nightreaker plus bulbs as the standard one are crap and one had gone. I thought the Freelander had a warning for when bulbs were gone. I then found yesterday that a sidelight bulb had gone on the other side so ordered a set of 8 SMD LED ones and some 4's for the rear...

I have recently driven mine once again off road on rutted ground this time with snow :eek: imagine that in a gaylander! Up in the local mountains and the Pyrenese mountains and confirm that it is entirely capable even on it's standard road tyres. It's never going to be as capable as a Defender...

I'll second that. That is the sort of thing I was thinking of. However the dragging issue has made me think of that plus some smooth ally. Now where to find some around these parts and then a friendly welder who can weld ally.

Could a good thickness of chequerplate not be bolted to the exisiting one somehow? The local DIY superstore sells it and not to badly priced. Then a grinder and a vice and bobs your uncle (I hope :D) I would extend it back from the front piece to save the extra work. Would you need to replicate...

I love your FL, I was looking at pics of it earlier, amazing. If I didn't have the constaints of mine being a daily plus the wife......... :D

Booked my Freebie in for a well deserved full main service.

I am thinking of beefing up my sump guard so as to be able to enjoy off roading in the mountains a bit more. I know of the Mantec but quite frankly do not want to spend that sort of money on a sump guard when you can get such things for Defenders and Disco's for around £90! Why does it cost so...

My problem is the window will not stay down without me keeping the latch held open as soon as I take my hand off the window goes up. Not good but people don't know or forget and slam the door and you hear a big bang of glass against bodywork! No!:eek: This all started when I had the cables...

Thats a very clean looking Landy you have there! What happened to the other side step?

Yes thats the sort of thing. I think you will have to get an amp that does at least 4 channels so as to provide power for your speakers.

Welcome to the land of K series bashing!:rolleyes: I had one a few years ago and it was superbly reliable and quite quick! Caught a few people out with it. I did however seek out a TD4 this time. ;-)

I would not have thought so on a base model. I want to do a simular thing on mine. You may have to buy an RCA line out convertor, in order to convert the speaker wires into RCA's in order to be able to install an amp. Maybe it's different now but manufacturers did not seem to have caught on with...

I am doing this at the moment with Vibe 5 inch at the front and 5 inch Infinity ref. at the rear. I have used some closed cell foam as a gasket and mounted the speaker onto a 3mm MDF bracket I made to replicate the original holder. bearing in mind this is only a 5 inch speaker I now have to take...

Bought a few bushes off them and some drilled and grooved brake discs. No problems with what I have bought so far.

TD4 110 so far with ease. Not taken it past that since I uprated to silicone hoses and blanked off the EGR.

I tow a Rapido Confortmatic folding caravan. Hoping to move upto a real caravan next year. Just trying it out this year. If all goes well with trips this year then she'll be towing the real thing.

Replaced the crap land Rover speakers with some decent aftermarket ones and sound deadened the doors.

Go on this is wind up, you've been paid to say this, plus it's a bank holiday!:D

Update. After a couple of teething problems with window catching on the speaker cable and pulling them out, the second speaker is in. I finshed off the drivers door properly today and loaded it with sound deadening to the inside of the door. If you tap it now it sounds a lot different to the...
