I was reading through some of the project threads where people were simply buying repair panels for discos, series etc and wondered if anything like that was available for the freebie 1?

I've had landrover tell me on different occasions that the ES Premium and the HSE is the top spec for the freeby 1. Both were adamant it was the particular model they were talking about that was the best, so my question is, which is it really?

Nothing more than idle curiosity, but is each model Freelander fitted with a different ECU, or is it just one type, but with factory/dealer unlocked features?

I was topping up coolant and oil just now and saw a tiny smear of mayo in the oil cap. Can I do something now to mitigate hgf, or is it fecked? I definitely can't afford to get the head skimmed. Can I get away in the short term with just replacing the gasket itself?

As you can tell from my posts over the past few months, I'm slowly refurbing my Freelander. I'd like to reduce road noise from the tires, as I've only been buying the cheapest on offer at my local tire place. What are the quietest tires you've found? The wife and I often just don't speak...

I was starting to clean my freebie this morning when I discovered 2 cables that seemingly go nowhere. The first was under the front seats: The second was under the glovebox: Anyone know where these are meant to go? 2001 FL1 GS petrol K series

I remember reading a thread some time ago about one or two people modifying the clock space to show different information, but I'll be buggered if I can find it now. Does anyone else remember it, or know which one it was?

Hi I have just purchased a NOS inlet manifold for my 1.8 petrol as the old one is badly split. It just comes on its own with no other parts. Do I just replace the blue rubber gasket, or are there more parts I need to order to do it properly? I've not taken the old one off yet, so I'm not...

Hi everyone I don't have the tools (or space) to remove the undertray, so I can't do this myself... Roughly how much should I be paying to replace the inlet manifold gasket, and the gasket on the pre-cat at the front of the exhaust? I've already got the parts, and I wanted to do it myself...

My 2001 Freebie has developed white smoke from inside the exhaust heat shield at the front of the engine. It's very noticeable, but for some reason won't show in photos. I've taken off the heatshield and shoved an endoscope down there but can't find the source. Definitely an exhaust smell to...

I'm trying to find the part number for the HDC switch inside the gear lever assembly in my manual 2001 GS, and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but RAVE isn't giving me a diagram or parts list showing that part. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi So I need to move the RR about 15 feet to get it off the road as the tax has run out. The engine is f*cked so I cant just drive it, but can I move it on the starter? Done it many times with the freelander, never done it on anything bigger.... Cheers Ian

Can anyone give me some advice on how to best remove shattered glass from inside the door of my 3 door 2001 Freebie 1? Some local pikey kid tried to nick it last night and made a hell of a mess. I have removed the door card thinking it would open up the inside of the door (as in my old cars)...

After my recent thread about the troubles I had last week with my car, someone insinuated Saint.V8 sold me a lemon and hid various faults from me. I want to make this as clear as I possibly can. The above comment could not be farther from the truth. In fact, the above comment is horse****...

I have had it with this car. I have coveted a range rover since I first set eyes on one as a young boy in the early 80's. I have lusted after them. This year I was finally able to achieve my dream car. And it has broken me. I had a reasonable budget. I purchased way under that budget and...

Hi I was driving down a country lane going home this morning and the Stop! Oilpress message came up on the dash. I had no option to pull over for several hundred yards as I was completely blocking the lane but did eventually stop. Can I temporarily top it up as I have an appointment at the...

Hello Some little b*stard has decided it would be the best use of their time to slash my brand new rear tire on my L322. Unfortunately, as I have the LPG conversion, I don't have a spare wheel. Can anyone local to Yalding/Maidstone/Paddock Wood lend me their spare for a few hours so I can...

So, as some of you know, I purchased Saint.V8's L322 and have been doing some work to bring it up to snuff. As all my cars get female names starting with the same letter as the model, and because he spent so much time working on her, I decided to name this one St Rachel. So far she has had...

Hi I cannot lock the car without the alarm going off a few minutes later and, being that its 1.35am and all my neighbours are now awake, I desperately need to know how to disable it, so I can lock it go to bed. Its a 2003 L322 4.4 petrol Vogue if that helps. Thanks Ian
