have just returned from a camping weekend at our woods, about half way home we started getting an awful noise coming from the front passenger side, thinking the worst as we fitted a lift kit a few weeks ago, I'm thinking propshaft or brakes, or maybe something has come undone, well jacked up the...

1, people are always saying a 4x4 should not be used in 4wd mode on tarmac, yet I thought disco's and the like were permanant 4wd, so how does that work? 2, has the freelander section gone soft??? once upon a time if any new members with 1 post count asked questions, they would get a barrage...

so just reading the forum and my alarm starts going off? it re set itself by the time I got the keys, unlocked and locked on the fob and sat back down, its gone off again, no one near it as we have cctv, but would this be as the car has been sitting stationary for a few weeks and battery maybe...

after purchasing a lift kit from ses88 it's taken a few days, but finally fitted freelander lift kit - YouTube

so lots of us seem to suffer from the rear window breaking in some way, mine stopped working altogether a few months back, so I was unable to open the rear door as the glass would not drop, there's plenty of posts regarding how to repair, but it could be a number of different things that have...

so, an update, after buying a lift kit from SES88 around a month ago, my first attempt at fitting them failed, my own fault for not having gathered all the info, put up a post and ryan168 had just fitted his, and gave me the info I needed, so I was just waiting for a nice day, and having drove...

OK, so we know that a winch on the front looks the mutts nutts, but there's only one or two people out there making winch bumpers etc as they seem to be overlooked by the mainstream suppliers now as much as I want/need a winch, shelling out a few hundred plus makes me wonder if I'm going too...

ok, call me nieve, but I thought fitting a lift kit would be easy, obviously I was wrong, I thought that if you undone the top nuts on the rear suspension, after jacking up the car and removing the wheel, that it would be a simple process of putting the spacer on top and doing everything up...

ok, so firstly this aint freelander related, I got my vitara mot'd today, its been SORN for a year, no I never take any notice of advisories on the mot, but you would think, that if you had an advisory one year, then the following year it would be worst?? so 2012.... rear drum brakes on way...

going back to when I purchased my freelander, I decided to keep the vitara, just in case, well as the freebie has calliper trouble, and the weather see's me not wanting to be out there in it, I just started a multicar policy on both, off for an m.o.t tomorrow, then 6 months tax on friday, and we...

ok, so the story so far, after returning from a 500 mile round trip, we picked up a new noise, on our return I took it to the local LR garage who said that it looked like front ns brake was binding, and quoted £320, I bought it home, and after a few members here said "do it yourself" I did...

after returning from a 500 plus mile trip, something sounded wrong at the front passenger side, just been to the garage and been told the ns calliper is binding, so they are quoting a exchange calliper, new pads and new disks at around £320, although I trust this garage, is that all really...

ok, so my rear door had a problem quite a few months back, the window wouldn't drop, as a bodge to get around it I got the window lowered a few mill by brute force, the door then opened/closed, but left the window on the outside of the channel, a couple of weeks ago I had another go at...

so after towing our tea room/caravan to our woods on the freelander, it was so wet and muddy, that our mate took over in his defender, we was going to try pulling/pushing this in by hand, but after seeing what a difference having a front winch makes, its got me thinking, do I try getting a winch...

the same as alot of other owners, my rear window stopped working, but my bodge was to force the window down a couple of mm so I could open and close the rear door, but the glass stays outside of the channel, if it rains hard I get a little water inside, but I can live with that, well tonight the...

wanted to fit a tow bar to the freelander, so as usual evil bay got searched, found a secondhand unit with the plug attached for £30, well it took a bit longer to arrive, but it got here in the end, and was in far better condition than the picture had shown, complete with all bolts too, took a...

so, me and the mrs needed to pop over our woods to check if any trees had come down in those winds earlier in the week, the private road in and out gets a little muddy, so thought I'd film it, and put up a post, rather than the normal "my freelanders broke" type posts mudplugging - YouTube

hi all, yes I've done a search, but wanted a recommendation on suppliers, I'm after a towbar, now if I'm right in thinking, it looks a fairly simply bolt on affair, but looking on e bay there's so many to choose from, I want the one with the plug already fitted, as I'm crap with electrics, I'm...

Im not quite ready to go to the darkside yet, but may have available funds in a year or so, now the gaylander has lots of electrical things that can and do go wrong, so am I correct in thinking, defenders dont get those, as they dont have all those mod cons?? only thing that worrys me is...

hi, on unlocking the car today, the rear door failed to open, tried locking/unlocking on the key fob buttons with no joy, now when hitting the lock button on the fob, I get one honk of the horn? does that mean batteries in fob are at fault, or is it more serious with the door mech itself...
