My 2013 Freelander 2 has a problem with the Actuator in the Turbo and has gone into Limp Mode. Itt would happen when I am 100 miles from home on holiday. I believe these Actuators often go wrong, they can be bought on their own but I believe they have to be calibrated to the turbo and many...

I want to fit some Roof Bars on my 2013 Freelander 2. Are they difficult to fit, although I have only seen them on a car at a distance they appear to be fixed into slots on the roof. There are many for sale on the internet, I dont want to buy some where they wont fit or will the headlining...

I had a KIA 4X4 and there was a bit of weird sound from the transmission when I came to a stop. As it was under the guarantee I took it back to Kia, They did the Chalk Test and after about 100 meters 1 chalk mark was about 6" different. They took the wheels off and stood them up all together...

I have a 2013 Freelander 2 and want to tow a caravan. Can anyone recommend what type of Tow Bar to fit. The car is fitted with reversing sensors so obviously when a caravan is being towed, would the sensors need switching off, And apparently there are a few types Fixed Flange, Swan Neck &...

I have a collection of Land Rover Defender parts, they came with a 1991 Defender I bought from a storage facility where the business had closed down 10 years before and the stuff had been in storage for the 10 years and I had to buy the lot as the storage unit had to be cleared. So I moved it...

On my 2014 Freelander 2 my tyres are 60% worn, but I don't do many miles. Where I live its up hill and down dale. I was thinking of buying a set of "cheap" heavy lug, rough terrain tyres together with a set of "cheap" steel wheels and fitting them to my Freelander for the winter. This would...

Thanks.

Hello, Thinking of getting brighter Xenon Headlights for my 2013 Freelander 2. One of my headlights has gone out so if I am going to have to buy a bulb I may as well get a brighter one. Although I would never accuse my Freelander of being "dim" I have seen better headlights. There are many...

Just bought an August 2013 Freelander TD4, with only 38,000 miles and showing my ignorance took a printout of an article in the Autoexpress about improving the breathing by fitting a BMW breathing modification I find that the car has a Ford engine with a timing belt. So as the car is 6 years old...

Many years ago my Accountant bought a car which in the advert it said it had ABS, He had an accident and blamed it on the brakes not being efficient enough and complained to the dealer that his ABS brakes were not working properly. The dealer replied that this car did not have ABS Brakes, the...

I was thinking of buying a newer Land Rover Defender but they are really expensive. I have a 1991 Defender which runs well but I know the mileage could be high but not sure, Years ago I had a garage and would regularly just buy an exchange engine or gearbox. The thought occurred, with my...

I am selling a 1991 Defender 110. Yesterday I had a viewing and the viewer wanted to establish if the chassis was the original one. After scraping away the paint and underseal off the chassis at the offside front under the wing just behind the bumper he found the chassis number which matched...

I am selling a 1991 Land Rover Defender and I have it advertised on eBay but have had no interest. Which surprises me as having sold my business I advertised my farm equipment on eBay and was overwhelmed with enquiries and with my Zetor Tractor I got the asking price and the buyer came all the...

After many years of messing about with fields and tractors unless you need a pto shaft of a 3 pin linkage I found the best machine for towing rollers around fields are Dumpers. I had two dumpers. The best one was a Benford 2.5 Ton with 3 cyl Lister electric start. (they sell for around £2000)...

My 1991 Defender had stood in storage for 9 years when I bought it, The day after I bought it on the way home I stopped at an Mot Station for an Mot and it passed. (obviously I had to fit a new battery) Then after the Mot I drove it to my own storage half a mile away, and in the last year it...

In December 2017 I bought a 1991 Defender which had been in storage on a SORN for 9 years. The day I bought it I insured it, even though I was not going to use it. The day after I bought it, it passed an MOT. I did not notify the DVLA of the change of ownership and it is still on a SORN in the...
