    Wiper Stalk Switch

    I suspect there is a fault with my wiper stalk switch and I would like to change it. Manuals say rermove the steering wheel for access. Is it necessary to rermove the wheel ? Any advice appreciated, thank you.

    Freelander 1 Cheap td4 fuel pumps

    I am aiming to change the fuel filter on my 2004 td4 and while I am at it I might change the pump as well. I am surprised that pumps are on eBay for around £40. Has anyone any experience of these low price pumps? Thanks for any comments.

    Key Fob Failure

    One of my two key fobs has suddenly failed. Locked the car with it but on return it would not open the car, got in by turning the key in the door lock. I am now using the spare hob.

    Door lock key

    I recently found myself locked out of my Freelander 2004 with the keys inside. ( God knows how this happened!) Fortunately I was near home and a taxi ride to collect my spare keys solved the problem. It occurred to me that if I had a hidden simple key that would open the door (obviously it...

    Fuel Filter Sedimenter Drainage

    My 2003 to 2006 Haynes mentions this fuel drain. I don't recall it from the earlier Haynes or the LandRover service schedule. Does anyone bother with it and if so is it necessary every 12k? I suppose it could be handy if you fill up with petrol !

    td4 oil filter o rings

    When replacing the oil filter on the td4 where do you think the O ring should go ? When we changed the oil recently on my son's car we put the O ring in position A, yet within a few miles of motoring it had leaked enough oil to worry greenpeace. So we replaced the filter with the O ring in...

    Expansion tank filler cap

    I am wondering if the coolant on petrol and diesel Freelanders is pressurised the same amount. This is controlled by the filler cap spring. Does anyone know if different caps are specified for different models or does one size fit all?

    Remote Fob - U/S?

    Replaced the batteries a few months ago in both my two remote fobs. Both have worked perfectly until today when one of them failed. It is completely dead and will not lock or unlock, the other fob is still perfect so the car is receiving a signal. Has anyone any ideas on what may be the trouble...

    17's to 16's

    Thinking of changing from 17 inch alloys to 16 inch 5 spoke alloys (The common ones). A 16 inch from a car of the same year, 2003, fits ok but I wonder if there has been any change in wheel dimensions for different model years. In particular I wonder about changes to the disc brake unit. Any...
