Assuming level ground etc. what should the expected engine rpm be for 70mph in 5th gear? I ask because previously my engine would run at just under 3000rpm, now it sits at just below 2750rpm at the same speed in same conditions. I have had an injector replaced last month and a new clutch a few...

I know I’m asking plenty of questions recently, but thanks for your patience. What is the specification for the side lights (turn one on the light stall)? I know I use H7 477 bulbs for the main beam, but can’t pin down what I need for the side lights and one has blown. Additionally, does...

After my recent travels I'm keen to fit a leisure battery to my car for obvious reasons, but mainly to light the rear space, charge devices and ideally run some form of heating - just to keep the cabin moderately warm overnight. I know very little about car electrics so I'd be keen to...

For albeit mainly cosmetic reasons I'm looking to replace the rear brake drums with new ones, are there any brands which are to be avoided and recommended? I've a 2004 FL1 TD4 Facelift if there are any specific fitments required.

I guess I already know the depressing answer to this question, but just now my clutch went to the floor and didn’t return; I was able to pull it up with my foot and now it’s working fine. I am assuming this is a warning sign that the clutch is about to go, but is there any other advice or...

Next week is time for me replacing at least one of the injectors. I know #1 is over-fuelling and 3# under-fuelling so I'm going to replace #1 and see if that works for now. I've found some excellent how-tos on here and the MG75 group for the actual process of removing the injector, my question...

Try as I might, two of the M10 bolts just won't thread themselves properly in to the frame. I've tried putting them in first, but it seems the actual tow bar (OEM, used) is just a little bit out - that or the holes on the frame are a few mm out. The rest of the bolts are secure, and the two...

The other day it struck me that only half of the cluster display is being used, showing only the odometer or trip, are there other functions that are available to display with some work, or is the rest of the space taken up if the car is an automatic?

Looking for a genuine LR spare wheel cover for my Freelander 1 TD4 Sport that will fit 18" 235/50 tyres. If anyone happens to have one from a north-east England dealership that'd be even better.

Recently, the drivers heated seat has developed an intermittent issue where sometimes when I turn the heater on, the light on the switch flickers and I hear a click underneath the seat. The passenger seat works fine. Can anyone please suggest some trouble shooting steps. I thought it might be...

This Christmas was the first time I was able to get out in my Freelander and actually make use of its features. Armed with OS maps, Northumberland County Council online mapping and a bit of common sense I went out and about around Hadrians Wall and Slaley Foret. Whilst I didn’t push the car’s...

Hello all, Recently I took my car in for diagnostics because after some reading around I was certain I had injector issues. Turns out I was right and that one injector is over-fuelling and another under-fuelling. I am assuming these will need replacing, or at least refurbishing. However, should...

After having a rattle for some time, I was beginning to deduce it was an injector issue (after thinking it was something trapped in the wheel). However, after looking to see if I had a FBH, I’ve noticed this thing resting on the steering rack/bar/whatsit - what is it? Should it be there? And...

After even more frustration in getting tyres I want for my 18" alloys, I'm going to look to get some smaller wheels, either 15" or 16". Financially, it works out cheaper than paying almost twice as much for premium tyres. I've a TD4 Sport facelift, is there anything I need to be careful of when...

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a specific make/type of bulb for the dipped beam for my TD4 facelift. I know it’s H7, just want to know if people have positive experiences with things like night breakers etc. I know this is pretty subjective, but still thoughts are welcome.

Firstly, will a FL with roof rails in place work in a standard automatic car wash? Secondly, is this where you’d expect the temperature gauge to be after a 85-mile run in around 10degrees?

Finally found one, a 2004 TD4 3-door with all the trimmings and I paid from what I can tell (as a muggle) mid-high range for the spec I wanted, but it's a car I intend to keep for at least 50k/5 years so I wasn't worried about the price that much. Decided to take it to a local LR specialist to...

Hello all, Am in the middle of looking for a TD4 Freelander 1, 3 door. Will be used daily as a dog wagon and the occasional bit of towing of a 1800kg boat trailer. Not the best with a spanner, but I intend to change that with the arrival of the car. Would be grateful for advice on what to look...
