    Step or 'NO STEP' on Freelander hood compared to Defender

    When I had a Ford Focus, my teenager kids tend to sit on the engine hood, and in doing so, often almost dented it. I encouraged my kids to lean against the hood, but not to sit on it, they can sit on the edge of the boot, stand on the door step. For past 3 years, I have a Freelander. I've seen...

    Does fuel have a best before date?

    Before the lockdown started, I filled up my car for a long journey, I got almost a full tank. Then the lockdown started on 23rd March, so I cancelled the planned journey. For past weeks, I only drove to the supermarket once a week, and I usually drive in the opposite direction and drive around...

    Repairs to door

    Part of my Freelander's door got damaged, no idea how it started, and it became worst when I tried to open the door. I did a quick fix repair for now, I cut off the part of the bend bar, and temporary tape it down with duct tape. I'll try hot glue gun or superglue or whatever other glue that's...

    Side repeater lights, any tricks to open them?

    2005 4Td. Been trying to remove the side repeater lights unit. Manual says to slide it towards the rear of the car, Haynes says to slide it towards the front of the car. Been trying to slide it (either way) but it seems to be hard. I tried using a coin as a leverage but still no dice. Is there...

    Clacky feel when moving off - should I be worried?

    2005 Freelander Td4 with manual gear. When moving off from 1st gear (and rarely from 2nd gear if car is still rolling), sometimes there would be some kind of a one or two clacky kind of sounds, I could feel it vibrate through from under the car. Not a banging sound, more like some kind of a...

    Freelander 1 Euro 6 conversion? Charge?

    Edinburgh is going to have (if not already got) a low emission zone. It seems diesel cars have to meet the Euro 6 Standards to be allowed to drive in the zone. I'm trying to find more details on the matter of two subjects. First is: I've seen the mention of "Euro 6 conversion" and similar...

    Does Freelander have anything that can be misdiagnosed?

    My Freelander Td4 failed the MOT at a garage I usually use for MOT and simple repairs. "Fuel system component leaking excessively or a risk of fire Offside Front (Dripping off engine tray) [6.1.3(b)(ii)]" They cleaned it up and maybe applied a temporary fix to it, enough for it to pass the...

    Freelander 1 Can interior lights be changed?

    I had a Ford Focus, it used to have an OFF switch for the interior lights, so if I open door, lights stay off. Now I have a 05 register Freelander. The interior lights don't have an OFF switch. Can the Freelander's interior lights be changed for one that have an OFF switch? Either a DIY job or...

    Freelander, dipped and main beam, use same bulb?

    I'm planning on buying spare bulbs for the Freelander. I thought Halfords website was being funny, so I figure to double check with you guys. Is the Freelander's main beam headlights using the same type of bulb as the dipped beam headlights do? Just wondering, because I was looking for main...

    Winter Tyres: On road only or can be off road too?

    When looking to buy winter tyres, and while making a narrowed down list, by reading reviews and looking at the specifications of the tyre. Is the information about winter tyres based on top of ice and snow which in turn is only on top of the road? Could such tyres work fine if you were on top of...

    Remove fuse and do without?

    According to the manual. All I have to do is make sure that the starter switch is at the position '0' and switch off the electrical circuit before removing a fuse. Easier to just remove the key, but I want to double check, as I plan to remove the fuse for the radio, do the latter part mean to...
