did the clip work?? only my drivers side wiper arm gave up the ghost last night in the rain and it is the plastic ball joint worn and i have seen these clips but are they for the ball and socket type joints? Andy

double wowwwww, Many people tow 6 or 7 series hobby's and in the 5 years we have had it i have never been pulled over, mind you i don't tow it like i have stolen it and i show regard to other road users too so maybe that all helps.

hi all and thanks for the funnies, how ever i do understand why our travelling fellows like them as they are big and well specced. As for not allowed on the roads i beg to argue as they are not over 2.55 m in width so what are you talking aboot?? Andy

i will just drag the caravan round the farm but use the bigger shogun for road towing Andy

i agree that when towing the car should be able to cope with the load, my freelander is a second car only to use every day instead of the shogun, but was just considering its limits. it may be ok to drag the caravan out of the barne i store it in to the farms CL site. Thanks everyone Andy

that makes good sense so i will continue to use my 3.5 gdi shogun to tow it. but would have been nice to get rid of 1 of the cars (shogun) and save some money Thank you Andy

hi i have a hobby 650 and was wondering if my F/L1 TD4 would tow it ok? she is a twin axle braked unit weighing in at a hefty 1900KGs? Cheers Andy

we put in a new stereo at the weekend and now i actually quite like the car. Our other motor is a mk3 shogun Animal but as a smaller ute this is ok. More practical than my fiat coupe which is what it has replaced. Easier for the Grandchildren.

ok, today i took the whole prop off, found there were only 2 bolts holding the rear prop to the input shaft on the diff. it reverses better no juddering, no knocking etc. i also changed the aerial for a OE one. also the nsf door central locking unit so the door now locks on the button. i have...

how difficult is it to remove the rear drive from the ird? is it a case of unbolting the 5 nuts holding the output shaft inplace and putting the blanking plate on then nuts done up?? or is it more sinister?? Andy ps picked up a nice leather interior from GT4x4 breakers in Basildon, they are...

will look to do that today, if i remove the rear prop would that relieve the issues?

what is it with the rear brakes that makes them bind? what can i do to prevent it happening. i have new brake shoes and fitting kit that i will put on today but is there anything i can do to prevent them grabbing in the future? Cheers Andy ps wheres the best place to buy the blanking plate...

what is a wheel up test? i think i need to read my haynes manual!! lol

if it is the vcu would removing the rear propshaft resolve the issue? Andy

hi, thanks for the advice, the engine mounts seems cheaper so i will check those first, but i will reverse in a circle to see what that shows up. Andy

the brakes seem to be free enough, they have just been checked for the mot. 1 was binding but is no longer. how do i check the vcu? Andy

hi, can anyone help. i have recently sorted out my freelander but i notice that when in reverse she judders and seems like something doesn't like it? any ideas please Andy

cheers worked a treat

hi my nearside handbrake has seized on and after stripping it down it looks as though its the actuator bar between the shoes at the bottom. The swivel where the cable hooks into is seized so it is not sprining back once the handbrake has been released. Has anyone got a freely moving one or a new...

wow finally after much waiting and scratching of heads I have my freelander back with a working clutch. I changed the complete clutch friction plate, pressure plate, concentric slave & master only to find I had good pressure on the pedal but it would not allow the selection of the cogs. I bled...
