Have you reset the arms as advised in the handbook?

Heated front screen depends on age, later HSEs didn't have it as standard.

There should be spreader plate on the back (? the gearbox side) of the crossmember. Genuine crossmembers also had reinforcing tubes to prevent the crossmember getting squeezed. Some of the non genuine replacements don't have this feature.

Just for the show

Also, if you cut any vegetation you must leave it, it belongs to the Land Owner. After moving a tree you cannot chop it up and take it home as firewood.

It might be easier to look at a Puma 6 speed, as that at least uses a version of the traditional Transfer Box. Doubt it's worth the time and effort though.

You're right that if the wheels are locking up, better brakes will probably make things worse, although they may give more control enabling more sensitive application. It sounds as if your problem is more tyre related, as well as possibly a bit of driving style. A Defender is not a GTI and...

Are you sure it's the drain plug, and not the wading plug in the bellhousing? If you have been driving round without gearbox oil I think you would have known some time ago!

Depends where the 2.5 came from. If it was a LR, it should be fine, if it was a Sherpa, then the timing cover is not sealed. You'l need to know which before you buy a belt, as they are different.

I believe the current officials wanted to stand down having done the job for a number of years, but no-one wanted to take over. They had a formal meeting a couple of weeks ago to decide the future of the club, but I don't know the outcome. If their site is down it doesn't look promising though.

No it won't, keep to the speed limits and you don't need it.

What sort of off roading are you doing that a Sport won't do on standard tyres? As Crazymac says, 19s will give you a higher profile tyre, which tends to be better off road, as well as far less prone to punctures.

That is how it was meant to be, Land Rover stopped usinmg sump gaskest on the 300, and relied on sealant.

Not sure of the exact year, but it was a bit later that the arrival of the Discovery 3, and coincided with the figment of the "Jaguar" V8 in the Petrols, and about a year later the TDV8 (replacing the TD6) in the Diesels.

That's the problem, if there is no grip, no rubber will help, it has to be chains or studs.

You can select it at any time (even when doing 70mph on the Motorway) but it will only work if you are 1st or reverse gear. If everything is working correctly if you are not in the correct gear the green warning light will come on but flash, once in the correct gear it should light continuously.

What year is the Freelander? Where is the HDC switch? If it's on the gear lever it may be a snapped wire from the constant flexing every time you change gear (presumably the reason they moved it.)

Isn't the diff on the wrong side?

Gratch has covered most things, but wandering steering can be caused by the steering being too tight, resulting in you constantly over correcting. Commonest causes are problem lack of oil in the steering relay or top swivels on the hubs too tight (the opposite is more likely) Does it have Free...

Press the radio on button (the left hand radio volume control button) it will come on for an hour. You should then be able to turn the Sat Nav on. Why do you want to? The warning is right, without the engine running the battery will flatten very quickly.
