Hi All Had an issue a while back with a bit of the front nearside coil snapping off and took it to the local LR Dealer for a replacement and full inspection of both sides since I only have book knowledge and no real experience. This was not a cheap option but I had thought it would be worth...

Had some odd noises today resulting in a pinging of something bouncing off the underside and when I recovered it from the road it turns out to be part of the spring from the front nearside shock. It is almost a complete loop and the big question is how unsafe it is to drive now. Plan to get it...

I think something is crumbling into dust as my central locking is failing in it's one task A couple of weeks ago the front passenger door began not always unlocking when I hit the button on the remote but that is just a case of leaning over and opening it by hand and all the other doors...

My wife has decide that there is a 'howling gale' coming through the front passenger door and so even though I can detect nothing when I sat there and she took over the driving I guess I need to do something so that I can regain ownership of the driver's seat. I presume that the seals will be...

Got something odd which I have been ignoring as I have mixed feelings about parking sensors but I should really ask. Where I park has a 7 foot high brick perimeter wall. The rear sensors work as I would expect where reversing into the space has them alerting and getting more frantic as I close...

So after my huge success with replacing a headlamp bulb (any success is a win, right?) I moved onto something which is kind of cosmetic but has been annoying me, the roof rails. There is a clear gap on the centre and rear mounts both sides between the mounts and the roof which the garage that...

This was going well with a clean getaway from the storage site and averaging 40mph with the caravan attached. Just a 320mile drive to Kendal and all the time we need to get there Arrive just after 5 and get out pitch number and go to startup and the brake pedal hits the floor....seems as...

So taking advice from the Forum (thank you Nodge68) and knowing my capabilities (all three of them) I have been ringing round looking for someone to supply/fit a battery. Spoken to 3 LR mechanic shops plus the local LR Dealer and all have promised to get back to me 'later today' with price and...

Yesterday we picked up a touring caravan as we are getting too old for Glamping. We had been booked into a caravan towing course a couple of weeks ago as while we have dragged a trailer around for a while (these camp beds and memory foam matresses need a lot of space even vacuum packed) but we...

I have tried searching through threads but not found anything to match so... I have a 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE and when I unlock it and get in I see a warning on the centre display that the system will shutdown if I do not start the engine. I did get a suggestion that there was a separate...

Sadly a few years ago my wife decided I wanted to sell my Discovery 2 as 'it had problems and used too much fuel'. Many moons passed in the wastelands of other makes until it was decided 'we' wanted to buy a caravan as 'we' were not suited to camping. Smirks were kept well hidden as it was noted...

I have just got a '63 plate Freelander 2 which already had a tow bar with 7 pin cable installed and I was looking for advice around how much work changing the cable to the Euro plug for pulling a caravan would be. Each time I do a search for this I find a different answer with comments about ECU...

Yesterday I finally gave up the fight and traded in my Disco. The wife has been chirping for some time now that it is too unreliable and costs too much to run as I am travelling 400-500 miles per week. All because we moved and she now can't do without her car if I have an issue. Sadly I had...

Doing some tidying up and simple jobs to build my confidence back up and I need to replace the trim which covers the fuse panel in the passenger footwell. Could someone tell me the LR name for this and where I could get one? Thanks all

Looking at a few options for mine but top of the list is a new battery. Had a few issues recently which I think has stressed the battery to time to replace. Other than that I may try to replace the hinges on the back door as the sag means it is very close to scraping the floor when I close it...

Another silly problem with my Disco where I had managed to stall it while parking (it's OK, you can laugh) and it wouldn't restart. Thinking it may be a fuel flow issue, I left it overnight to calm down and tried again the next day but still no joy. Passed to my local mechanic and apparently I...

I despair, I really do despair So, top hose burst heading up the M3. Not fun but just a case of waiting to get it stretchered home, replace the hose and carry on, yes?.........Ha, so that stupid stupid micro pipe above the main pipe on the rad gets knocked and snaps. No problem I just put on a...

Ah ha you might say Been visited by the 3 amigos on and off for months now but I have been keeping a log and I know what it is. I have a few routes to/from work and the only times they come on is on one road when I am going past a building with lots of antennae set back in the trees. There are...

This may seem an odd thing to ask but I have been getting regular visits from the 3 Amigos for about a year now and the complete inconsistency of when they kick off led me to just ignore them, but... This may be co-incidence or paranoia but I think I am noticing a difference is how the brakes...

So, I was gently moving down the lane to where I have to open the gate this morning and it felt as though a wheel was skipping on loose surface, except it is tarmac. As I concentrated there was a definite almost rhythmic lurch of no more than an inch as I crept along. Then I got to the main road...
