Hi folks - long time no post - hope you are all doing well. I have just noticed that my 06 Freelander is leaking from the sunroof and just phoned to book it in at the stealers for the work to be done. Knowing them of old, I asked if the work would be covered under warranty and the nice lady...

Popped into my local dealer (Stratstone Stourbridge) today to get them to have a look at the problem with the car 'holding' gears (see my other thread. I was told some rather worrying news that might just be the final straw with Land Rover. Apparently there is a 'hold' on the warranty on my...

Hi folks - long time no post. Got bogged down with flooded houses and smashed up Freelanders in July and not been back on since. Happy to report that house is dried out and Freelander has now had in excess of 14k. spent on it in repairs (I said they should have written it of!!) and is now...

As some of you may be aware, following its little coming together with a truck, my Freelander is off the road. It is looking likely that it will be off the road for a good few weeks yet and, as such, I have one of Roveron's magic boxes sitting doing nothing (decided to take it off before the...

Well the verdict is back from the body shop - it is repairable with the cost at approximately £7k. They have based the value of the car at £16k. Bear in mind that the car cost £18,800 new - its 15 months old and has 33k. miles on the clock - how on earth can the insurance assessor base the...

Hi folks Had a seven and half tonner try to customise the Freebie on an island yesterday - airbags went off like a baloon factory and the force of impact threw me across the car so hard that the gear selector was snapped in two!! Feeling both sore and lucky this AM. Question now is will...

Experience on auto forums tells me that Kwik Fit and the like go down about as well as a car alarm concert at 4 in the morning but I noticed something when I was in getting tyres put on the missus' car yesterday. They have an offer on brake shoes and pads whereby they will replace them FOC for...

Cant believe it - I have done it again!! 30 litre of unleaded in the diesel AGAIN!!!!! LR Assist recovered me home and its not sitting on the drive - I dont really want to shell out silly money again and was thinking about having a go at draining it myself, only trouble is when i try and...

Just had a lovely drive back from wales - across the Elan Valley with a couple of excursions from the main road ;-) 12 midday - In a great mood, sun shining - good sounds on the stereo - decided to pull over in Leominster for fuel, did my usual trick of jamming the fuel filler in the trigger...

Evenin all - just wondering what other sort of fuel consumption folks were getting from their TD4's - mines an 06 Auto and I normally return about 380 miles from a full 60 litre tank - i refitted Roverrons box and changed the setting to #5 and am amazed at the difference - I am on 430 miles from...

Freelander has now clocked up about 15k miles in 6 months and, other than the odd niggle, all seems well - I have never been that impressed with the brakes on the car but have put this down to the fact that I have previously owned 'sportier' cars and I am not used to the Freebies more...

Bit perplexed here. I have been towing my caravan (foldy up job so admittedly not much of an aerodynamic issue) all last week and I have found that I get exactly the same fuel economy with the van on and with the van off the car?? Im not complaining but I would have expected it to drop???

Spotted a small oil eak the other day so I called LR Assist out and the guy came and sorted out what he says was a blocked breather. While he was there we got chatting about tuning etc and I showed him Rons box (had taken it off prior to calling them) - he said that there had been no reason to...

I cut down some conifers 6 months ago and left about 2 foot above the ground to wait until I was 'in the right mood' (yeah right!!) to dig them out - then I hit on a whizzo idea yesterday - dragged em out using the Gaylander, a rigid tow hitch and a length of chain - was great fun and made me...

Just back from a few days bimbling around Wales with me new toy and had a great time. One thing worthy of note if anybody is thinking of taking off the roofbars on a gaylander tho' I took mine off and took off the brackets on the roof and replaced them with the little plastic caps as advised...
