I was thinking of the same DIY approach too, using the tie downs. Can quite easily get Unistrut,zebs,threaded bar and angle brackets. Picture(s) would be ideal though. Maybe my project for the new year. Thanks, Steve

Hi, as some of you may know I have a 04 commercial that I use for work as a telecoms engineer. Is there any kind of racking/shelving/trays/storage systems that are made specifically for the freelander commercial? Obviously the rear of the freelander is quite an awkward shape, even the...

Maybe get the power steering system checked if you think that the steering should be lighter. Otherwise I would imagine that any differences between brands would not be noticeable whereas a narrower tyre would be easier to move than a wider one. Steve

Just from a local caravan shop, made by triangle or pyramid products, something like that. I bough the smaller size reccomended for the FL on the packaging but they went in the springs far too easy, the instructions say to grease them up and heat them to make it easier. As they went in so...

Hi again, Another wee update on the progress of what is supposed to be an unrelaible motor....... Now on 32,000miles and still no problems at all. Since the last write up I have fitted the EGR mod, very easy and noticable results. Had it serviced at Mike Aitkins 4x4 at 24k ish at a...

When you press HDC the light on the dash flashes. It only stays solid green when your in first or reverse and on a hill. Regarding the stalling, mine is stiff on full lock as well, and can be close to stalling when the engine is cold. As the steering is "stiff" on full lock it takes more...

Never tried this but a Pal said to drive the last few minutes home with the heaters off and the window open. This equalises the temperature in the car and eliminates the condensation forming. Try it and see? Steve

Yeah, i once took a D Reg escort to a garage for a trade in price, when they HPi'd it the car came back as a Vauxhall AstraMax Van in white............... I looked at the report and plain as day was the right reg and even chassis number..... Mistakes can be made, although as suggested could...

Anyone?

So when you say beef up the suspension, do you mean by assistors or in another way? Would the assistors have an advers affect? Steve

Hi there all, Have a TD4 commercial freelander. As I use it for work, I carry quite a lot of weight in the back and notice that the rear end is quite low when fully loaded. Now I know that the ground clearance isnt the best on the freelander anyway but when loaded up there is a noticable...

Have non air conditioned freelanders got a pollen filter? Reason I ask is that I was charged for one on the last service. If it has one, where is it? Steve

As mentioned, HIDS bulbs fire up with a surge of power and then drop below there normal light output then increase to normal. This is done in maybe a second or so. So, you will get instant light from them for a "flash" but Im not sure that long term use of them to "flash" people would do them...

Often the drivers of aftermarket HIDS are happy with the results but any driver of oncoming traffic will be well annoyed with the result. Aftermarket HIDS are NOT designed for halogen reflector type headlamp units and produce too much light scatter where it shouldnt be. They are illegal, 100%...

At the front right of the engine (as you stand in front of the car) just under the right side of the air intake manifold thingy there is a round valve. It has a rubber hose that has a braid over it about 6-7mm in diameter running to it. Pull this hose off the EGR valve and block the hose with a...

Hi there, For several years I have always had the impression that any LR brand was unreliable/undrivable and just unwanted. For some reason though about 2 months ago I bought a 2004/04 Fl TD4 commercial. Going against all my own advice and better judgement I made a snap decision to buy. I...

Many independant 4x4 or LR specialists have testbook so maybe worth finding one local and seeing what they will charge to have a look, no doubt will be cheaper than LR dealer. There is also a good chance that they will be cheaper for carrying out the work too so maybe try and negotiate a...

Hi, I have the same (I assume there is only one) type on my commercial that was there when I bought it. Having had the rear door panel off to run some wiring I can remember thinking that the guards shouldnt be too hard to fit, although I may be wrong. Take the rear door trim off, 3 or 4...

Hi there and welcome. I am quite new hear and to the world of Freelanders but I am the owner of a TD4 commercial 04 plate. Only had 12k on it when I bought it but I noticed a slight hesitation on it when for instance coming to a roundabout, slowing diown, going into 2nd or 3rd and then...
