    Freelander 2 (LR2) Replacement Remote Fobs

    I need to get a (at least) replacement remote fob for my F2 as it only came with 1. I'm going to buy an Autel AP200 to program the key into the car. But I'm a bit confused about which fob(s) to buy. A "genuine" LR fob (LR013005) is about £175. https://www.car-keys-online.com/ quote that the...

    Is it to long? - ooh ahh

    Been clearing out my garage and dumping / selling stuff. I've got an exhaust off a 2001 K Series. No good to me or my L Series, so going to list it. Got the 2 bits out and took a photo. And they look to long to be a Freelander exhaust. Have I got another exhaust I'd forgotten about or is it...

    Oily Tyres

    Its difficult to turn the car around outside the house. So Mrs Grumpy drives in forward up the drive and we have to then reverse out. I reverse in so we can then just drive straight out. In true Land Rover style, the L Series really marks its territory - so as the car is parked pointing in...

    Scored myself a new job

    Started a new job yesterday. I'm doing pre delivery checks on campervan rentals. Never done anything like this before, been working with computers for 40 years! They wanted a reliable practical handi-man type person, so my "10 years keeping my Land Rover on the road" helped greatly :D Have...

    I was browsing the LRs for sale over here, so as I could filter on Freelander to find the good ones ;), but have to say, this beaut stood out in the list as a gorgeous motor. Thought I'd share it with you numpties. TTFN...

    Freelander 1 Rear Tail Door Window Not Operating

    My rear/tail door window has stopped working. It is fully up and doesn't drop when opening door and doesn't move pressing the button on console. If I press the down button on console, I hear 2 faint clicks about 0.5 and 1 second after pressing the button, which I presume is the dual relay in...

    Freelander 1 Getting less common

    There are fewer and fewer F1's on the road here these days. I haven't 'logged' sightings, but I probably only see 1 a week these days if I'm lucky. However, I got a wave from one today :D

    K to L conversion

    Interesting car for sale over here. Its an early pre 2000 car, but first registered in 2002 - so its one of the many Freelanders that sat 'somewhere' for a couple of years before being sold here as 'new'. It was originally a K Series, but in 2017 was converted to L Series. Someone went to a...

    Advice on jump starting

    My son's Beemer 320 has a flat battery and he has asked me to jump start it tomorrow using the L Series Freelander. Am I safe to jump it, or is it likely to kill some electrics on the car? Should I disconnect my cables from the battery and jump his beemer while its not connected to the...

    Is this a Freelander?

    They're not good pics and the article just says a '4WD', but it looks like a Freelander to me. If its red, that's not a million miles from @htr - hope its not yours mate. https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/central-otago/vehicle-fire-disrupts-traffic...

    Good thing or bad thing?

    Considering buying a Freelander to replace the remodeled Toyota Starlet that is no more. There's a 1998 1.8 that's for sale that's literally just had the HG done. The workshop that did the HG is selling on behalf of the owner (don't know why) and say it "Runs and drives mint". What's people's...

    Down the club doing the quiz

    ...and its the music section. Not our best section unless its about songs from 30 years ago - and not Kiwi. So, when the question comes up asking for the title of this song that Rolling Stone magazine reconned was one of the best Kiwi songs of last summer, well instant boredom. That was until...

    Is this really a "Sport Premium"

    This car is being advertised as a "Sport Premium", but it just looks like a pretty basic entry level model to me. Definitely no "Sport" badging. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/land-rover/auction-1612588622.htm?rsqid=30272c2207c543158d33119022679100
