Hi, The HK system is a bit of a different animal to the standard stereo, I'm deffo not an expert but, IMHO, it probably would work but would be a pain in the arse for the fitter, so its more cost effective for them to bump you and lose the sale. Do a search an stereo upgrades (on here)...

So, day off today, dropped the lad at school and came home, went out to the freelander to get a mates pc from the boot to fix for him and this happened... (see pic) The door is still frozen shut at the moment, but what am I going to have to replace? New handle, but ill have to swap the...

Forgot to say........ Dont move the car till you have checked these sizes, you might destroy the drivetrain...... Good luck

it's your oddly matched tyre, no harm in checking the other bits and bobs but 99% sure it will be the wrong rolling diameter on your new tyre. If you check other posts regards the Viscus Coupling Unit "VCU" and the Intermediate Reduction Drive "IRD" then they will describe the freelanders...

Cheers Garry, Ill have a look round, if I can find some for under a tenner its worth a punt.. Just ordered some of this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CARBON-FIBER-TEXTURED-Vinyl-Sheet-Sticker-1520mm-x600mm-/200580608524?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb389320c#ht_6180wt_1163...

@ garryTD4 Hi, Ive got the facelift model and the door handles are really worn, this carbon fibre wrap looks like just what I need, I've had a quick look round, Is it the sticky-back stuff? can you recommend one. Cheers Si

Hi Guys, This is a little project I had on my notepad so I'm glad someone else asked the question before I did. So, once I've tapped into the feed up at the interior light, what's the best route to run the cable down to the foot-well? (thats where I want the the extra lights) Cheers.

Having personally experienced the weaknesses of the freelander drive train (smashed IRD and boiled diff) after fitting ill suited tyres I certainly would only apply as directed. Bigger rolling circumference means more miles per rotation throwing out your speedo and gaining extra mpg, BUT...

Hi All, Ive tried searching to sort this and I keep coming up with threads about the tailgate, This problem is with the rear passenger doors. Nearside rear door electric window stopped working so opened up the door to find the cable snapped, going to order one of these FREELANDER ELECTRIC...

I'm no expert, But, Could it be the fuel burner trying to fire up, assuming you have one fitted, it's in that area. But then again, It's on the left in the front wheel arch an RH drive TD4's, what have you got? Siblo

When I put my roof box on it taps constantly unless you.... Fold it flat.... Fit roof box... then point it up so it is bent under the roof box, not too much, more "flexed"... Then re-tighten... Adjust as needed until vibration goes away... Simples

is your fl a "sport" or "sport premium" with the slightly lower and stiffer suspension? that might make a difference.

Hi Mate, PLEASE NO NOT IGNORE THIS I recently replaced two rear tyres, I fitted Accelera tyres (235/50R18 Accelera Phi XL TL 101Y) I fitted them to the rear as advised when not replacing all 4 but due to the manufacturer not making them a standard size, the overall size was 40mm...

Hi Mate, Pretty straight forward but there are things you need to look out for like steering controls or the HK amp in the boot, these make it a little more complex but all do-able. See Here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/fitting-double-dinn-gps-dvd-into-dash-133257.html or Here...

Yes, UNIQUE, so special in it's own way..... @ Hippo, May try that VCU test while its in bits, but, was going to test when IRD is in and if it fails Blank it off temporary and run 2 wheel drive for a month till I can replace the VCU if needed. sidenote I've never seen a 3 door FL with the...

Yeah, that's how I read it. This is my first 4x4 so know nothing about 4 equal tyre sizes, I thought that was what a diff was for anyway, further distance round a corner and all that so why does it not work when going in a straight line.... Also, I can't find the sticky about equal tyre...

Right, Spent a while under the freelander last night, jacked up and removed prop and rear wheels are spinning very smoothly, no roughness, no clunking, no noise at all, just a little oil so probably need new seals but all in all rear diff seems fine. Car dropped to floor with prop still...

That's what broke it then, just waiting now to see how much damage has actually been done. I'm sure the VCU is bust, I've been told the DIFF is broke, and one mechanic said it feels like the IRD is broke too. All I did was treat the girl to a couple of new boots, If this doesn't deserve...

OK, so I checked the diameter of the old tyres on the front against the new tyres on the back. Using the "tyresave" calculator from the other tyre thread they should be 692mm. New ones on rear measure about 695mm , old ones on front about 680mm. Any thoughts... Siblo

No, there not the same make, I thought of that when I posted earlier. I'm not near the vehicle so can not physically check today, I'll do some measurements tomorrow. But from your diagnoses and the symptoms I experienced, I believe now that they must have caused the problem. Motoring...
