Have read the sticky and it's not the same so thought I'd post. Had two new front tyres and noticed a 'rumbling' vibration from the back at about 40-45 mph, more so when braking, striaht after fitting. At this time I had mismatched tyres on the rear (I know, not good). Changed the two rear...

Got a new aux drive belt for my TD4 and wondering if I need to jack up the front to change it. Haynes says yes, RAVE says no. I'd trust RAVE over Haynes but might be doing it this weekend when away at my parents so need to know whether to take the trolley jack/axle stands with me or not bother...

Got a wave ski (big surf board/kayak) off ebay and the seller's holding it in Exeter until I can get there (nice guy, but then I have already paid). Would require roofrack or 8' x 3' clear space to shift, though weight is minimal (<20kg). Anyone heading this way (or part thereof)...

North Yorks to Swansea. Short notice - going tomorrow morning as long as the UK road network hasn't decided to close. I've already packed the table salt just in case.... ;) Will be coming back (Swansea to Yorks) on sunday on a tight schedule but could detour briefly if it would help anyone.

Looking to get a wave ski (like a surf board you sit on) from Tarleton, Lancs and need it in North Yorkshire. 8' by 3' board normally works nicely on roof bars :) Currently have an email in to the seller about delaying pickup as I can't get there for a couple of weeks, but if anyone is heading...

The middle belt in the back of my 3 dr 2003 is U/S - locked quite tight and won't release with the usual wiggling. I've not tried taking the unit out yet as I haven't got hold of the required star(?) bits to take it off, but just wondered if anyone else has worked with these and whether taking...

Not a problem, more a bit of a niggle. I've got an 03 TD4 auto which (finding a bit of wood to grab) is working nicely for now. I've only had it for a month or so but have noticed a bit of a 'problem'. When changing from drive to neutral, the box is obviously going into neutral, but most of...

Not really an expedition as such but a bit of forward planning to a trip camping for a fortnight and touring the Hebrides (Outer & Inner is the plan). Will be just me and my gaylander with bike, kayak and fishing rod all fitted in/on somewhere. Did West coast of Ireland a couple of years ago...

Bought some roof bars for my 3 door (Mont Blanc for £49.99 from Sparesworld - nice for the price) to carry the occasional kayak (~14 foot) or ladders. It did strike me however when I was looking at things that the fitted roof bars are a long way back on the body. If I'm taking the big double...

Maybe I'm not onto anything here, but thought I'd put a rare good word in for the 'Stealers'. I'm settling into freelander life pretty well with a split turbo hose 3 weeks into owning it, and when ordering the replacement from Ripon Landrover (for speed) thought I'd ask about the crankcase...

In the words of Chris Rea, Driving home for Christmas..... Northallerton to Swansea on Sun 21st Dec (poss monday 22nd), return trip TBC but not before 2nd or after 4th Jan. Usual route via A19, A1, M18, M1, M42, M5, M50, A465 heads of the valley. Not sure if that's all right but autopilot...

Well hello, and thanks for the welcome I've already had in other parts of the forum. I'm picking up me freelander (or should I say gaylander?) on thursday and can't wait to get my hands on it. Out of interest it's an 03 3dr TD4 GS auto. I'm a complete newbie to 4x4 and Landrover, and I know...

Right, I need some help in choosing between two freelanders. It'll be a first Landy for me, and while I've learned alot already from this forum I'm still lacking on experience to make up my mind. The two cars in questions are: 2003/03 TD4 GS 3dr auto, 64000 miles 2003/52 TD4 GS 5dr manual...
