Woolies? Is that Woolworths or some other company? Where have you been for the last 4 months man? Steve

Thanks for that, just waiting for prices now. I was only holding back so the pads can be done at the same time and they have 3-5k still left on them which I may cover in a month. Steve

My radio (single CD, Double DIN size) has no code set and just comes on with radio station, no "land rover" displayed beforehand. I still think that the dealer should be giving you a second key (working) within the deal. When I bought my commercial, it should of come with a 3 month...

...........,and at the end of the day, thats a fault that could potentially happen on any make or model of vehicle, so hopefully wont put you off your Freelander. Steve

Think the smell of burning was in relation to me having a freelander yet asking a question about a defender, maybe thinks that the freelander is about to go up in smoke!! Just thinking of the future, FL is just running fine at the mo, doors havnt fallen off yet, hasnt blown up and it all still...

Had my TD4 commercial serviced as a homer yesterday and the guy doing it noticed that there was a split on the front prop bearing. Its not all the way through yet,maybe 60%. Rear ones seems OK though. Are these OK to buy from a non LR source as I know the LR ones are £60+ each? Im assuming...

LR dealers will have a "master" key, so get them to take off the locking nuts and replace with a non LR set from halfrauds or a LR specialist. Steve

What is the driving position like in a defender? My old employer often had hired 90 commercials on hire from SHB and after sitting in one, well more like after taking 5 minutes to get myself in, I did my very best not to have to drive one. Was the bad driving position due to been a...

Just been looking through this poll and found that comment...... My 2004 TD4 Commercial (with about 700kg in the back) is on its first and original set of pads at 36,000 with another 4 or 5k left in them yet. You been going to track days with your hippo? Steve

Defenders are OK if your 5 feet and a fag end, dont mind having your right leg smacked every time you close the door and can wrap your legs double jointed round the footwell to get them away from the steering wheel!!! Yes, it will be 4x4, unless of course someone has taken the prop...

If the dealer wants your money then surely he needs to fix the sunroof, get a second key (your insurance may not pay out on a total theft loss if it goes missing when you cant provide the second key OR a good reason where it is), and pay for the locking wheel nut key. Its a buyers market out...

My 04 TD4 commercial does about 33 to 36mpg but thats with 700kg in the back, 2 adults, Falken AT tyres and a Synergy2. Before the AT's it was about 35 to 38. Steve

Yes they did, due to the credit crunch Steve

If you havnt got one already there may be wiring in the center console box for a second 12v socket, just needs a hole and a socket. Steve

Thanks OP, thats cool. What is so annoying is the amount of wasted space behind any racking due to the shape of the interior. Once the weathers better I may well get out and have a brainstorm. One of my thoughts was too make a false floor using the rubber mat as a template. Maybe giving...

My guess would be that 80% of all FL are diesel, been either the older Di or the TD4 which would mean that more posts will be about the diesels. Steve

So no harm in having it done in a decent back street garage using good quality OEM spec parts (LR genuine if OEM not available) and decent oil then? Would non LR specialists have access to testbook or a similar tool just like I have VCDS and a lead for VW/Audi/Skoda which is very similar to...

Hi there. Had my TD4 04 commercial for just over 6 months now. It only had 12k on it when I bought it with a full LR SH. When 24k came I had it serviced at a local 4x4 specialist (Mike Aitkin) at a cost of £250, which to be honest I find quite expensive, even though I do appreciate that its...

Hi, 04 TD4 commercial. The rear brakes seem to be sticking on quite badly when left overnight. Particularily bad if I leave the handbrake on but seem to stick a little even if just left in gear. When pulling off in the morning, there is a crack or bang as the brakes free themselves. What...

Pointless having a Snorkel as the water will come in through the doors much sooner than it reaches the air intake!! Steve
