Houston, we have a problem. The larger of the two rear seat backs is folded down and the centre seatbelt, having taken up the slack, has jammed. Now I cannot raise the centre seat back. Wiggle the seatbelt it as much as I like, but I cannot get it free. Cannot get at the bottom to unbolt it (if...

For years my iPhone 8 has happily connected through Bluetooth so I can receive calls on the move. Not since the last IOS update though. Unless, of course, something on the car has gone on the blink. (2007 FL2 SE).

Thread title says it all. What spares to you carry in the vehicle? Lamps are an obvious one. In some countries it's mandatory to carry spares. Don't know about the UK, but I have a full set. Reading some of the threads on here I conclude it might be wise to have a spare Crankshaft Position...

Weird one this. A week or so ago I couldn't find my car keys so dug out the spare fob that hasn't been used for over a year. Plugged it in and the car started no problem; everything as normal. After driving for about a mile I put the radio on and that's when I noticed the SatNav display was...

All cropped up today. Will be investigating tomorrow. 1) Can’t wind any windows down. 2) Can’t adjust door mirrors. 3) Interior lights don’t work. No warning lights on dash.

A nephew of mine down under has spent the past few years restoring this little beaut. I don't know much about it, so no point in asking. All I know is he fitted a Holden engine, but petrol or diesel I couldn't say. I guess the colour scheme is supposed to make it easier to spot from the air if...

if and when I deem my trusty, rusty, 218,000 miles high mileage 2007 Freelander to be no longer reliable enough / worth the cost of repairing / too bloody dangerous to drive, what should I replace it with? Even the newest Freelander is coming up for a decade old now, so what’s the alternative?

Anyone tried this?

Not Land Rover related, it's for an obsolete bit of roller reefing gear on my boat. The forestay, which runs up the centre of the foil is 7.14mm or 9/32" diameter. It has a 70mm long threaded section on each end which screws into the top and bottom bearing assemblies. I've stripped, cleaned and...

Well, three warning lights as shown in pic. I drove to a wee party this afternoon; no alarms. Had a few too many to risk driving home so let my better half drive home. Hey presto! Three alarm lights:- The general fault, or read the effing manual light. Brake warning light. ABS warning light...

Having cured my engine fault light alarm by replacing the throttle body module I have two new Diagnostic Trouble Codes: B10EA Positive Temperature Coefficient Heater and B112C Interior Motion Sensor. With winter almost upon us I suppose I'll need to fix the heater, if only to keep the wife...

Belting down the M6 yesterday the co-pilot turned to me and said “Isn’t it a bit loud?” Thinking about it I had to agree. A loud droning sound that diminishes significantly on left hand bends, not so much on right handers. Seems to be coming from the front rather than the rear of the vehicle...

When I press the button on the end of the stalk I get neither a wash nor a wipe. Wipers work fine otherwise. Rear wash / wipe works okay. I did have a copy of the FL2 wiring diagram, but I seem to have mislaid it somewhere in my new computer. Can anyone help?

Looks like I have a suspension problem. The outside edge of the left rear tyre is wearing away at an alarming rate. The right rear is showing signs of uneven wear as well, but not as bad. Tyre pressures are checked fairly regularly and both tyres maintain pressure (no slow punctures). Front...

I can’t get any fuel through to the HP side of the injection pump on my Yanmar 4JH3E. Although it has low running hours the engine has sat idle for at least 5 years. I’ve cleaned the tank of diesel bug, replaced all the filters, and am able to circulate clean fuel through the LP side of the...

Problem with both key fobs started yesterday. None of the buttons worked unless I held the fob close to the middle of the windscreen. Okay, so not a key fob problem. This morning the problem is still there so I measure the battery voltage, 12.2V, a bit on the low side as that's about 50% state...

Taking my FL2 in to an independent Land Rover specialist next week for a nice, round, 200k service & MOT. Haldex & Diff are on the to-do list. The serpentine belt isn’t quite due, but I might have them do it. Gearbox is still, as far as I know, on its original oil. It’s working fine, so do I...

Bit odd this one, and only cropped up in the past week. Lock the car using the keyfob in the usual way. Mirrors fold, all doors and tailgate locked. Press unlock once; driver's door unlocked. Press unlock a second time; all the other doors unlock but tailgate remains locked. Didn't used to...
