Oh by the way @dog-man and @Nodge68, since you guys mention that the dipped and main beam use same type of bulb, it now begs the question... I originally planned to buy a twin pack of bulbs for the main beam, and a twin pack of bulbs for the dipped beam, and keep them in the car as spare parts...

So they do use the same type of bulb after all. Thanks guys. I've also noticed it seems that the direction indicators at front and back, the rear/stop lights, reverse lights, rear fog lights, all seems to also use the same bulb too? That's 382 P21W? By the way, do the high mounted stop light...

I'm planning on buying spare bulbs for the Freelander. I thought Halfords website was being funny, so I figure to double check with you guys. Is the Freelander's main beam headlights using the same type of bulb as the dipped beam headlights do? Just wondering, because I was looking for main...

Yeah, I agree with you.

I promised my Freelander a full services and have booked her in for full services.

Like other members suggest: When the outside temp drops to 7°c or is below that for days, time to put on the winter tyres. Think of it as no different from you deciding when to put on a scarf depending on how cold the weather is. Also as most people suggest, change tyres around October to April...

I spent so much time trying to find out what is the best thing for driving in the snow. Based on what I read from various sources, reports, advice, most from experienced drivers, and so on. I would say that it is due to the following order... 1. Driver's skills. A more experienced driver can...

Well guys. After trying to find any winter tyres to make a shortlist, haven't made much, I've decided to take up the advice from most of you, about going for AT tyres with sipes, so in that case, I've decided to try BF Goodrich AT KO2. Well, I know that during winter, I would be driving...

Oh I see. Great, no wonder I was struggling with trying to find winter AT tyres. Thanks for letting me know. I'm having a bit of a trouble trying to identify sipes, I've read about what it is, and I've looked at pictures on Google showing what sipes are, but I can't tell if the BF Goodrich KO2...

Right. I've taken many of your advice that All Terrain tyres would be more suitable for my needs, but when trying to find any, I keep ending up with AT tyres that are more suited for summer. rather than winter. Am I doing my homework wrong again? While trying to make a list of examples, here's...

Okay, so unless I misunderstand you, a winter tyre is a winter tyre for use on snow regardless of what is under the snow, and also regardless of the M+S markings? I assume by your pointing out that they "are designed to actually grip soft snow" mean winter tyres would work on and off road...

When looking to buy winter tyres, and while making a narrowed down list, by reading reviews and looking at the specifications of the tyre. Is the information about winter tyres based on top of ice and snow which in turn is only on top of the road? Could such tyres work fine if you were on top of...

I think you would be better off asking a solicitor first. It is bad enough that the media gave bull bars bad publicity to a point that bull bars are banned or had to be redesigned to pass safety. If you accidently hit a child, and the child dies. The parent could claim your home-made bull bar...

@Edlandy You mention "green lane" and "nothing extreme" This springs to mind the image of a countryside track, overgrown vegetation, lumpy ground with lot of stones stuck in dried mud, the sort a countryside-loving dog walker or cyclists on ATBs/MTBs would go through. In wet weather, it is...

According to the manual. All I have to do is make sure that the starter switch is at the position '0' and switch off the electrical circuit before removing a fuse. Easier to just remove the key, but I want to double check, as I plan to remove the fuse for the radio, do the latter part mean to...

I had a similar problem. But just to let you know, can't promise what I say will fix your Land Rover, as my similar problem was related to my old car, a Ford Focus 1.8 before replaced by my Land Rover. The thermostat may have been damaged, and/or you may have coolant leak. This was the cause of...

The 2 Amigos lights on the dashboard tend to light up while you are on the move, specially when using the brakes to slow down. Doubtful you can just stop in the middle of a busy main road, rush to the back of your car, just to check the brakes once you've got the 2 Amigos. (Unless you arrange...

It's good to know that there is a difference between the 2 and 3 Amigos. Sometimes I ask Google for information on TC and HDC! warning lights (at that time did not know it was referenced as "Amigos"), Google tend to display result related to the 3 Amigos instead of 2 Amigos. I just wanted to be...

When my 2 Amigos (TC and HDC!) lights comes on, I find that at the moment, the best course of action is... Stop somewhere safe. Usually either pull up at the side of the street, park at a free car park, or if lucky enough to stop at a junction when the red light is against you, or in a traffic...
