These Freelanders are good :) £550.00 purchase price for four years motoring covering 52K, bringing total to 150,000. Shame it's going in a few weeks..... :(

Posted on behalf of a colleague - I don't know much about Doozels...... Engine has started to hunt a little - warm or cold revs fluctuate on idle. Cooling fan comes on as soon as the ignition switch is turned to position II. Does not happen all the time - often nothing then after 30 seconds...

Is there a socket in the boot like the Freelander 1?? Have just bought a Witter towing kit, but dont fancy scotch locks or cutting into the wiring harness on a three month old vehicle.... If so a part number would be most helpful..... Thanks, Steve

My father has been having an intermittent problem when cranking his Discovery 2 TD5. Occasionally when the ignition key is turned the vehicle does not crank. I have checked the battery – has 800CCA, have tried both keyfobs / keys etc. The problem will suddenly start working after about 10...

A question that has been puzzling me.... I have seen Van tyres in 195 80 R15 fitment - Are these safe to use on a freelander with 15" alloys?? I can see that they will be almost useless on mud / wet grass, but looking for excellent life on road. My builder friends have done 60 or 70,000...

Hi Guys.... Typical - parents go on holiday and I borrow the old mans disco after running them to the airport. I have a buzzing noise coming from somewhere near the instrument cluster of the upper part of the fusebox. Sounds like a small cooling fan... only begins in key position 2 and...

Whenever there is a question posted, the mods tend to inform us to use the search function. I remember reading a post about freelander clock fixing. A colleague at work has a poor display and I would like to attempt a fix. Can anyone tell me where to find the post below...

Well I was, and also the inaccuracy of the reserve. I often found that I could safely cover 30 miles with the fuel guage covering the red section (1998 Freelander). A few weeks ago, I covered 50 motorway miles with the pointer in the red, drove a further 20 miles and vehicle was still running...

I have now got my freelander shod with 17" Michelin Synchrones after a wheel upgrade. I'm off camping with the school in June and July and would like other users opinions of the tyres. I know they are reasonably quiet and provide a good mileage, but I need to know if they will get me out of...

While my pride and joy is being put right after January's conflict, Stratstone LR delivered a '56 TD4 S for me to motor about in. I've been very impressed, its a bit clattery and noisier than my 1.8, but generally smoother and nice to drive. I guess the 104,000 mile difference has some part to...

Sounds like a silly question.... I have a cream leather item which is looking a bit grubby. Any suggestions for cleaning solutions?? Thanks Steve

Hi Folks, Can't seem to sort this one.... Number plate lamps occasionally fail to illuminate. When I inspect they light up and I have 12v at the wires. I have wiggled the wires to see if there is a dodgy connection, but it seems fine. Following a lot of 'R' and 'S' reg vehicles I have...

Perfect start to the weekend - rear ended as I was doing 60 on my way home!! Can't fault the freebie - took a big wallop and only a scuff on the bumper, broken lens and bent towing electrics. Have thrown an old lense in and ready to go again!! Pics attached - folks think about it before...

Evening all :) I have just had a butchers in my garage to see what oil I have in stock. Seems I have 5L of 10W40, so I'll be changing the freelander's oil as soon as I get my hands on a new oil filter. I was given some 'STP engine treatment with XE2' a few years ago. never got round to...

Just a quickie... My freelander engine was fully rebuilt in summer 2006. I have covered 12,000 since the rebuild. I changed the engine oil and filter after the first 6,000 and now can't decide whether to change every further 6,000 or 12,000 miles. What do you guys think?? Is it overkill to...

Has anybody bought one of these?? If so what are your thoughts?? My father is looking to purchase one as a shooting vehicle. Does anybody know if the rear body floor area is removable (obviously anything can removed by removing a few bolts) to allow you to use the floor space or is it a...

Just finished swapping the rear diff on my vehicle for a new item. Filled with oil and taken for a test drive and still I have the original noise. What else could it be?? Wheel bearings?? Anybody got any ideas?? I know its hard to distuingiush without having a look, but I have a droning...

I have been running 'Mondo mode' for a while now as a slight noise started at the rear of the vehicle. My rear diff has gradually become slightly noisey. Its an early type and has covered 110K.Can anybody see any problems if I was to remove the rear diff and rear driveshafts to allow an overhaul...

Now that my dad's TD5 Landmark is out of warranty, we have decided to change the standard locking wheel nuts as the key has a small crack beginning to form. Does anyone have any recommendations about what to buy?? We like the look of the McGuard lockers as they look quite difficult to remove...

This morning, my clutch slave cylinder mounting bracket broke whilst I was using the clutch pedal. I have repaired the bracket, but now have a query: Can the pushrod on the slave cylinder be compressed to allow me to fit it onto the clutch actuating arm. Its currently at its full extent of...
