When I lock the doors on my '04 Freelander the hazard lights come on but rather than flashing 3 times they just stay on, this happens whether I use the fob or the key, unlocking makes no difference the hazards stay lit until the key is in the ignition and turned to the start position. As soon as...

williamson-components-uk Strangely, for a company offering to fit recon engines etc, their previous ebay business was selling seeds, bulbs and grow equipment etc

Wow, I can't believe it's 10 months since my last post, Time really does fly.. The Freelander is still in daily use and now beyond 215.000 miles, even the Duracell bunny can't believe how this thing goes on, and on, and on. It coasted through the mot in January with only one advisory, n.s.r...

The alarm in the Freelander had taken to going off randomly wIth no fault that I could find. I eventually fixed the problem simply, without tools and it cost only a couple of quid. The 'fault' was a young rat which must have jumped in the open back door when I was rat shooting up at the...

My thoughts exactly, I'd be interested in it myself if I had any spare cash at the moment:(

204,147 miles..... Yesterday I found the time to replace the low pressure fuel pump and fuel filter and changed the engine oil. Off to Liverpool this afternoon to pick stuff up for my eldest Grandson so will see if "limp home" is cured. Things still to do: An intermittent coolant leak, it can...

Yesterday I replaced the low pressure fuel pump and fuel filter, the filter was done not long ago but I fitted another while I was under the wheel arch anyway ;). I also changed the engine oil but the filter will have to wait until next time as I couldn't find a socket or box spanner to fit the...

A member on an airgun forum I use is due to pick up a mobility car so is selling his 2007 Freelander 2 SE, I don't know much about the value of these so for anyone interested here's a link to it https://www.airgunforum.co.uk/community/index.php?threads/freelander-2-se.348223/ P.S It's nothing...

I do like the handsome, chunky looks of the new Defender but will I ever own one? Unlikely unless I win the lottery because by the time the price comes down to 'ordinary bloke' levels, as can already be seen with early L322 and Sport models most will be badly maintained, barely running...

An AA recovery driver of my acquaintance, who is also a Range Rover Classic and L322 owner, told me the AA have had to recover a few new Defenders due to problems with front subframe collapsing, he had heard the factory were recalling them to be put right.

After all that aggravation with 'er indoors' Freelander she part exed it for a 61 plate Clio on Friday. She's happy because insurance and fuel costs will be far less, (I can't believe the little Freebie is group 21 insurance) and I'm happy I've now only got the upkeep of my own to deal with:)...

I was thinking it may be worth changing that, I changed the filter when the problem first appeared, with hindsight I should have done both while I was at it but already had a spare filter to hand:rolleyes:

Not quite by tea time, heavy rain stopped play on a couple of occasions but by early evening it was back together and after a good testing everything seems to be back to normal i.e: it's still occasionally going into limp home on motorway hills but so far not as regularly as before. Changing...

Clutch change is all done, what a ball ache it was. I ended up having to buy a vacuum pump and giant syringe before the clutch bled properly. Never again.

I've just picked my pump up from P F Jones they didn't have a pump in stock so reconditioned mine, I have to say it looks like brand new it's hard to believe it's the same one. So off outside now to start reassembly.

Sadly there is so much petty crime these days that all a victim of a car theft or burglary etc can expect from the authorities is a crime number for the insurance company, once upon a time if your house was burgled you could expect at least the local beat Bobby to call round and cadge a cup of...

The pump came off without fuss yesterday, after cleaning all the gunk off I've decided my best option is to buy a recon pump, There is a place not far from me called P F Jones who will sell me a pump for £240 incl vat (minus £60 exchange for my old pump).So for £180 I'll get a recon pump with...

AARGH! Don't jinx it!..:eek: But seriously, I won't be taking any chances with it, if I have the slightest doubt or am unsure about any step I'll be back for advice before proceeding:)
