    Td4 Misfire

    2004 Td4 Automatic 110,000 miles Yesterday my Freelander started misfiring on tickover, regular misfire, running on 3(?) cylinders.

    Military gearbox

    I am thinking of buying an Ex Military Ninety with the extra low 1st & 2nd gear. Unfortunately it may need a recon box. Does anyone know if they are available, or am I going to be stuck with standard civvy ratios?

    Tax Free Motors

    A regular question is about if a vehicle is built in ‘72 or ’73. Not easy to answer especially as vehicles didn’t go down the line in numerical order.

    TC/ ABS Light

    I know this has come up a lot with other models, but today we had the ABS & TC lights come on on our Defender. Anyone any ideas. As a Freelander owner I've already fiddled with the brake pedal switches, to no avail.
