Hi, I am considering purchasing a Freelander, I want diesel and 5 doors and looking for around a year 2000. Any advice on what to look for, good ones and bad, known mechanical faults, rust areas etc and what sort of price range. Many thanks in advance

Again thanks for info. The disc are solid (non-vented). Does anyone have a picture of how the mod should look as I am unsure what I sould be aiming for. Cheers Ian

Hi Many thanks for the replies, it does indeed sound like Padocks have sent 200 tdi calipers. I realised that there was something wrong with the wide selection of nipples plus the wrong hole sizes for the 2 fitting bolts and the pad retaining pins. After double checking Paddocks website I...

Hi I have poor brakes on my 1995 Disco (manual). they feel a bit spongy, don't have much feel to them and I have to press hard to pull up sharply. I have just fitted new disc's pads and calipers as the old one were knackered. (Incidentaly I got the lot from Paddocks and the calipers have 3...

Hi I set off on my way home from work this evening, after travelling only a few hundred meters I realised that some thing was wrong with my clutch. The clutch pedal won't press all the way to the floor, it goes so far then goes solid, and when I try to engage a gear it wont go in and...

Hi I have a P reg Discovery 1 300tdi that I have lost the locking wheel nut key. I have looked closely at the nuts and all they have on them is a number 5 and not a letter. Does this mean anything to anyone ? Thanks in advance Ian

Hi I have a 96 P reg 300tdi Discovery with a water leak. looking at the engine from the passenger side and the water runs down the side (near the front) of the engine block. There is a gasket where the leak appears to be coming from but I don't know what to order. its a couple of inches back...

Hi My mate ownes a 1997 300TDi manual thats done a genuine 80K miles. This vehicle has never missed a beat for him until today. He had just driven 1/2 a mile maily up hill and it suddenly lost power, made a few strainge noises as if it was only running on a coupe of cylinders then died ...

Hi The continuing saga regarding my 96 P38 A month ago I changed the compressor inc the exhaust valve thing ! as the old one was very tired. This week I have had the eas reset, as last weekend all the height setting lights came on for no apperent reason. The mechanic said the fault was...

Hi I am sure that this will have been covered several times over but..... for no reason what-so-ever travelling along at 40mph, all 4 height indicator lights started flashing then they stayed on permanetally followed by the warning symbol on the dash (the one with the picture of a Range Rover...

Hi Due to my local garage snapping off the ignition key in the ignition. I have had to have a replavcement key cut. This works fine, however when I turn the engine off and remove the key the dash display a mesasage stating 'ignition key in' and the remote won't lock the car. If I use the key...

Hi Re :- 95 4.0 P38. Normally first thing in the morning when I start the car the suspension compressor kicks in, the lift light on the dash flashes for a few seconds and I feel the car raise slightly. However for no apparent reason twice in the past two weeks the light has remaind flashing...

Hi guys I am off to France on Saturday for the summer and I have opted for the comfort and space of my 4.0 auto P38 rather then my Celica, which would obviously be far better in fuel. My question is, since I am in no great rush I was planning on a gentle 740 mile cruise, so does any one know...

Has anyone purchased, or knows where I can get one from, and roughly how much there are ? Cheers Ian
