Hello everyone. This will be a big project thread I wanted to share with you to show what can be done to a MK1 Freelander and for inspiration to others to give them 'ideas' with other vehicles too. As it's such a big project, I'll post it in parts so not to overwhelm people reading and looking...

Hi. RE: MK1 Freelander (facelift 2004 on): This is probably an unanswered question as unless you want to repaint your tailgate door/trim, no one would do this. On the part of the vehicle (see photo) I'm trying to remove the plastic trim panel, but can't work out how to as... If you remove the...

Hello. I'm at the end of a project installing an amplifier into my rear tailgate door card to power 'a few' speakers bolted onto the door card in a custom rack I designed. The task is nearly complete, but I just remembered as I was going to buy an 'amp wiring kit' that the distance from the...

Hi, if anyone travels to Harrogate I've got a brand new RH Passenger door card someone can have if they can pick it up? Interior trim colour: Light Tundra (see photo to check) Requirements: MK1 Freelander Facelift (2004-2006) 5 dr. Part No: ELB500810HPP The catch? You must already have your...

RE: Rear, MK1 Facelift door card stud confusion: There appears to be 3 types of pointed studs for the MK1 facelift door cards (see photo). The front door card appears to need the small ones only. The rear door card, however, appears to need two types. I can see the need for 9 pointed studs...

Hi. Can anyone please have a guess at what the Blue plug in the attached photo is please? I've looked in the Haynes manual and there's no guide also searched the forum and can't find any info on my question. The reason it's important to me is I've modded my cubby box quite radically and...

Background: Trying to wire up 12v external LED courtesy lights. Wiring: New 4 x external lights are spliced & daisy chained off existing central internal map light, 3 Landrover internal wires assumed to be: * Permanent Live = Purple cable. * Switched Live = Purple with white tracer *...

Hi. I don't have a Defender, but thought you guys might like this fancy one. There's pages and pages of photos to wade through, thought you might like it for inspiration or ideas. The owner has car batteries custom mounted under the front passenger seat and chequer plated the whole floor and...

Hello everyone. I've just fitted a Brownchurch Roof rack (group effort) and found out the channels in the roof rails get full of water when it rains as there's no plastic covers with the roof rack obviously. (On a side note, before fitting the roof rack I had to get a rear Brownchurch bracket...

Hi. So I'm trying to fit new ICE into my car, but can't begin before starting off with removing the old head-unit. So I did that and got a new fancy one. Before I fit this, I've got to fit the obligatory double din adapter. So I recently purchased a 'Connects2' double din kit for my 2004...

Hi. We've all seen water in the boot before, but now I've got water in more areas than a south downs millionaires country homes. *Water in ceiling. *Water in Toolbox/under compartment lid. *Main boot damp (hidden by thick boot carpet so didn't know). *Passenger foot well behind driver damp...

As was jovially quipped to me the other day, a Freelander is a 4x2 not a 4X4. This is indeed true, until the wheels spin, and in comes the 4X4 'all wheel drive' if the previous seller hasn't taken the prop shaft out. :D So, if during wheelspin a Freelander is a 'real' 50/50 split 4x4, is it...

Hello. Has anyone noticed this before on their car too please? The location is on the passenger door side, under the glovebox (internal) next to some electrical wires. Water leak or condensation? I can't figure it out! Car is a 2004 facelift, so a bit old, but not ancient. Hopefully I can...

Hi everyone A year ago I purchased some powerfold mirrors for my facelift (04) freelander. I got hold of a second hand switch (no relay or plastic door seals, or looms yet though) and thought it wouldn't be too hard to fit them in replace of the standard heated/elec but non - folding...

Does anyone know how much a single 16 inch alloy wheel and tyre weighs approximately? I was thinking maybe 25kg? Sorry to ask. I've looked all over the internet and can't find out looking on LR websites and Ebay and thought someone may know by chance. Thanks.

Have you ever seen this style bull bar? And is it legal to use on '04? Maybe it's plastic and covered in rubber and made to look like metal! I'm sure the metal ones were outlawed and cannot be used unless the bull bar was original factor equipment. Either way I thought it looked pretty cool...

Hi. I wanted to ask please if anyone knows how to remove the centre caps on a Freelander 1 alloy wheel? (I'm removing mine as the lacquer has gone yellow and flaked off) I've searched and can't find a removal tool and was guessing maybe the wheels have to be taken off first and then...

Hi Guys, hope you don't mind me asking another question to the oracles you are. I know next to nothing on this subject but have found out a tiny bit to help explain things hopefully. I've got a heart condition and a neurological disease and live with my elderly parents. You guess who drives...

Hi guys, hope you don't mind me asking a question, I've been putting it off for months, but decided to ask as the summer's getting on a bit now and don't want to miss out the chance to do some Landy DIY. I've got my hands on a new boot seal and cannot fathom how to remove the old one! (I've...

Hi. I've managed to scratch the boot panel pretty badly, whilst fitting a rear 12v accessory socket (comes from using a drill and file!) :doh: I know I can't literally 'fix' plastic that's been scratched down to a lighter colour quite deeply, but maybe there's a way to do a botch job on it...
