hi all Ive noticed some Defenders have what I assume are tie down points on the outside and some don't. Is this a model thing or maybe it was an optional extra? If it's a model thing, can anyone tell me what year they went from/to? Seems like it's on the older ones up... But trying to work out...

So my Disco 4 has what seems to be a common problem - whistling from the roof rack. It's definitely that, because when I take the rack off, the whistle goes away. This happens at slow speed - 25mph - 40mph and is obviously more prevalent on open roads as opposed to more sheltered ones. It's the...

Hi all Have owned various LRs over the years. Current is an '04 FL1 which, actually has been pretty faultless. However, now in a stage where I need a bigger car (dogs/children/holidays etc.) and so sizing up a Discovery. Am toying between a Discovery 3 and Discovery 4 and would appreciate...

DEC Superscan Solo for all Land Rovers: DEC Superscan Solo professional diagnostic tool for Land Rover & Range Rover vehicles Bought about 6 months ago and used on my Freelander 1. In original packaging. Location: Guernsey, Channel Islands (but will post!) Price: Cost £475 originally; will...

FL1 V6 Petrol... noticed this breather nipple, right hand side of the engine on the top of the crank. Should this have a hose or similar attached to it?

Been trying to swap the fuel filter on my 2004 FL1. Did everything up until refitting it. I cannot for the life of me get it back in and get the locking ring back on. I have been pushing absolutely as hard as I dare but I don't want to break anything. Everything looks to be reassembled...

I have the amplifier with mounting brackets and screws that goes under the passenger seat. Also the 6 disc Alpine CD changer that goes under the driver's seat. Came from a 2003 Freelander 1 (pre-facelift). No cabling. The CD changer works fine but I'm not 100% sure about the amp, but no...

Random question - can anyone tell me if the boot cover fittings changed between the FL1 pre and post facelift? Ie should a boot cover from a 2003 fit on a 2005? I assumed that the fittings hadn't changed.

Hi all. Car is a 2004 FL1 V6. On the whole it's brilliant. Full service history, no coolant leaks and no lights on the dash. No codes stored in the ECU. There's a strange idle issue. The symptoms are that when you let off the gas and the engine revs drop, then you can see that it sticks a...

So about 2 months ago I introduced myself on here, having bought a Black 2003 V6 FL1. I did it all wrong. Bought the car figuring "how bad can it be" with no SH, high mileage and no idea on its overall state. and then did a load of reading. And then realised how bad it could be. I fixed some...

I've got a 2003 FL1 V6 ES Premium. It's got a few issues including low compression around one of the cylinders, exhaust needs changing, suspension is awful, tyres don't match etc, but despite this, I love the concept of the FL1 and when it runs well, it's great. The cost of all this stuff is...

MIL = malfunction indicator light. Also mother in law. Is it any coinkydink I have both this weekend? :eek:

Need intermediate section and centre section but would consider complete if available. Happy for MS if it's in good condition. Can't really justify a full S/S at the moment... but may have no choice :S Anyone got anything?

So amongst the various issues with my FL1... there's a noisy rattle. Most prevalent when warm and when accelerating but seems to be there even on tick over. Someone has said it's serious engine issues whereas to me it sounds genuinely like a tinny rattle... and from somewhere around the middle...

Alright, bear with me on this one. Last weekend I started to change the spark plugs on my 2003 KV6. Started with #5, no worries. Wrestled with #3 for a while before moving on to #1. Did 2, 4 and 6 fine. Went back to #3 and I can't for the life of me get the little sod out. Have tried...

I'm after a functioning inlet manifold for a Freelander 1 V6...

Diag tool was reporting a misfire on cyl 2 so figured I'd do a quick service. The air filter was pretty quick, but then got around to the spark plugs. Scratched my head for a while as to why the two banks of spark plugs didn't look the same and then :doh: :doh: :doh: moment... realise the...

Found this big puddle of water in the boot today. I'm hoping that it's the owner left the rear window open once. More likely it's ****ty seals.

Hi The engine / exhaust is very rattly on tick over. Have been reading through some of the threads here and it seems most likely it's the inlet manifold [chamber] issue. If I understand correctly, over time some little movable gubbins within it start to move more than it should and hence...

Sorry, daft question time but I haven't got hold of a manual yet and the stickers aren't helping/existent. What are the 3 reservoirs in the pic? Left is power steering, but not sure the other two. Assume one is brake master. The middle one on mine is currently empty... :eek: Ta.
