Got my insurance renewal in today for my 2005 TD4 - £238 up £8 from last year. Thought that was a good price considering what some are paying :D

The flat panel above the passenger airbag is squeaking a bit and I want to remove the panel so check the fixings - anyone know how to remove it?

I used my Freelander 1.8 during the winter averaging 1000 miles a month and obtained 31 mpg (which is good for a 1.8) This week I have been using the TD4 to see what the difference in fuel consumption is and I got 36 mpg. I know it corresponds to what most people get on here but I thought I...

I got into the car after work tonight, started up and released the handbrake but it didnt feel right - turns out the LH cable has snapped and the handbrake lever just pulls right up :rolleyes: I am glad I had parked the car on a level space otherwise my Freelander could have rolled into...

Ok so we need new tyres for the Freelander TD4 - searching around for prices some are cheaper but either are specified for a car or have no spec at all in respect of car or 4x4. The car or unspecified ones have the correct speed rating and load index so meet the Land Rover spec but what is the...

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced something similar, its on my 1998 1.8 Freelander, its used every day and only happens for a short time about every 10 days to 2 weeks. After slowing down from a higher speed to a stop, in a straight line, when driving off again I am getting a...

I started using the old 1.8s again this week after it being sorned over the summer. I fitted a window cable replacement months ago and its been fine, using it a few times when moving the car about. Other day I put the window down to clear the water off it and crunch - 1 broken regulator :mad...

I have had to replace these a few times but lately they are just not lasting, I bought a set on ebay and the lasted 3 months before starting to knock again and the rubber dust covers were perished and split - terrible quality. The latest set were fitted at the end of July this year and I...

I bought a kit from ebay a couple of weeks back for my front window. Fitting was straightforward and it worked fine for a while then started making strange crunching noises. On removal, one of the cables has a loose strand that has snapped and got caught in the inner cable sleeve. I cannot...

I bought a cheap petrol Freelander 1.8 to get me through the winter, it came with a short MOT but drove well so I bought it. I gave it a full service, fitted new rear brake cylinders, and a couple of brake pipes then used it as my daily runner. Due its purchase price I kept expecting to find...

What are these made off?.........chocolate:rolleyes: I replaced both front anti roll bar drop links max 18 months ago and they are starting to knock a bit already. At least they are cheap to buy and easy to replace:D

This has happened a couple of times on the Freelander 1.8 when I have parked it at night, side lights on, when walking away from the car it sounds like an electric motor noise as if something was being adjusted a bit, no idea what it is though and had forgotten about it till now! Any ideas

I am needing 2 new front tyres (15") and wondered if Hankooks were any good for road use.

My recently purchased 1998 Freelander doesn't have one but the instruments are the same as the 2001 Freelander we had many years ago, from memory my 2001 model had a low fuel warning light - am I making this up:confused:

I have read the VCU thread and have a question - There is some reference to the procedure being different for early models (not sure where I saw that part :)) so wondered if this was true - is it pointless testing my VCU in the normal way? So far all I have done is both reversed and gone...

I recently purchased a 1998 Freelander 1.8 to use over the winter as my wife uses the TD4 most of the time. While giving it a check over I noticed that the exhaust downpipe has a bracket welded to it that looks like its attached to the sump however there are no bolts holding it on, RAVE...

I originally did this guide back in 2006 and posted it onto the web. The hosting site has cancelled the page and I have lost my text back up so hopefully the new instructions listed below make sense! The plastic outer surround can leak at the joint between the metal roof and the surround, often...

Its a 2005 TD4 - I think I am correct in assuming no in-tank pump, just pump under driver rear wheel arch and the main engine pump. New fuel filter fitted about 4 -5 weeks ago (routine service) Pump at wheel arch failed after about 5 miles of filling up with diesel - no sign of rough...

Another pump question:rolleyes: I fitted a new fuel pump on Friday (the one under the driver rear wheel arch) and as previously reported the car is running fine. Only problem is, the pump is very noisy (brand new pump) you can hear it above the sound of the engine running and it regularly...
