The pipe is supposed to look like that mine and my mate's are both like that '

I used a leather dye from a furniture repair kit the wife had bought. I lightly rubbed the wheel down and rubbed it all over with lighter fuel dries out the oils nicely,then applied the dye in layers dried off each layer with hair dryer and applied a gloss finish coat that came in the pack.Job done.

Sorry about the confusion pardec had a little problem with the pic?sorted now

Epicuser, Yours looks mint?Mine was like that once over but lost it's sheen and started to look well shabby.

The picture is up there now!!

My steering wheel was starting to look naff.The cream leather had faded with sweat and muck over the years and even a second hand replacement was a fortune and the ones i had found were worse than mine.Anyway bought some leather dye and completely changed the look.Sad i know but looks a lot...

Right guys what could this be?? Had the Landy in the garage today for what i and a few other people off here thought could be CV Joints.Had a knocking noise coming from the front end when on full lock at slow speed and i like a few more thought CV Joints (anyway).The guy at the garage(my mate by...

So me thinks it's Land rover that is putting this Myth out as like i said i phoned them and the first question he asked was does it have the HDC option.Anyway thanks for the replies but gonna go ahead and get these "HDC CV JOINTS" fitted.Regards Alan.

Well googled the 2 parts and going of the supply prices whether there is a difference or not i am happy to have them fitted at £266 and not having to do the job myself.Sometimes it gets a bit tedious after having to repair Forklifts and trucks all day at work.I also believe it sounds logical as...

I thought the same but then rang a couple of other garages one was a Land Rover Stealers And they both asked the same question.It appears that there is a difference between the 2 cv joints

Well got the good news from the garage (sort of)prop shaft ok (phew)cv joint os Goose'd. Now the sting in the tail? If you have Hill Descent fitted your Cv joints are considerably more expensive to purchase.Ah well the joy's of having a Land Rover Freelander.Got quoted £266 supply and fit gonna...

Thanks for the replies guys was hoping to hear it could be the cv joint(s) bad enough but can cope with the cost of them.

Ok guys i know this has probably been covered elsewhere but just need to pick your brains.When i turn on full lock i get what i would describe as a knocking noise.The car drives fine no noises whatsoever it only happens on full lock.Anyway the reason i ask is the car is going into my mates...

Agree with IndiTd4 i also use black circles, spot on they deliver the tyres to your fitting place and you pick the time what suits you.

i have the same on mine same year also.My front tyres are down due to a tracking error (sorted now)and the right passenger is worse than the drivers but they are down to about 4mm,back ones are sitting at about 8mm. Anyway have ordered 2 new front Bridgestones to match the rear but gonna put the...

Like any vehicle don't like after them they break.Had mine for 2 years nearly not a murmur but then again no expense spared it is well looked after,and kept well away from the stealers do all my own work thanks to the guys on here.

My seats are the light coloured suede/leather type and i got all the bobbling and crap off mine with the wife's battery fluff remover.As for the grab handles a light rub down with very fine emery paper a quick clean with acetone and a top coat of plasticoat spray paint in cream.Blends in nice

Yes matt that's what i always do count the turns off and then back in and yes i know the inner wheel has slightly less on the turn than the outer wheel.But just want to put this somewhere near until i can get it tracked properly.No one near me will touch the freelander for some reason.

Alright lads shoot me down if you want but here is my Question.Car failed mot due to track rod ends and cos i never had the time to do them foolishly let the garage do it.Now the tyre's do not look like they are sitting right! i don't think they counted the turns off and back on.So all i am...
