I have often wondered how the different oil companies' diesel variants (bio, low sulphur, excellium, V-power etc) get away with charging higher prices and they often boast that they have different additives to justify their prices. Playing devil's advocate here - is it best to use cheap...

I've seen H4 bulb kits, but not Freelander specific projector lights - got any links?

I should have said that my one is a 2002 pre facelift TD4. The colour difference is very slight but noticeable - interesting idea about the heatgun ;)

Surely if the rolling diameter is the same then they should fit - unless they are massively wider. I have just retro fitted some Triplesport 16" wheels with no issues. Try one of the tyre calculators available on-line and that might confirm they are ok. The offset and spoke design are different...

I recently replaced my rear bumper (old one was cracked) and it is a slightly lighter 'black' than the original one and so looks a bit faded. Are there different 'blacks' used on the Hippo? I have tried Autoglym Bumper Care and while it is a big improvement, it still looks a bit grey when...

Excellent - ta very much :)

Can anyone give me a part number for the plastic rivets that hold the rear bumper to the main bar? I think there are five across the top and a couple in each wheel arch. I mistakenly thought that the front bumper rivets (ANR2224) were the same size but they don't fit.

Performance and Freelander in the same sentence? Now there's something you don't see every day :D Save your money or buy something more practical ;)

It seems such a rip off for a patch lead which Halfrauds sell for about £8 - except its not QUITE the same is it :rolleyes: Buggered if I'm going to pay that much for a bit of wire with a LR part number. The old cassette player lead just has the wrong connector for the remote controls so if I...

I have a Visteon 6500 CD unit which is now fitted in my 2002 TD4 (replacing a cassette player) but the patch lead which connects to the main harness doesn't have the steering wheel audio controls connected so I am looking for the correct one. I contacted my local main stealer and they want...

As already said, HID replacement kits are not only illegal, but also dazzle horribly in most 'old school' reflector units. The vehicle also needs headlight washers & auto-levelling electronics too. H4 replacement kits in particular are bad because they have to physically move the light source...

What? Hasn't anyone had a look behind their head unit then?? :rolleyes:

Hi Guys, I have just managed to find an original Visteon XQE000170PMA CD head unit from a slightly later Hippo (also fits a Disco I believe) and although the two plugs fit correctly and it all works perfectly, I have a third socket which presumeably accepts the loom from the steering wheel...

Just a 12mm ring spanner and some basic skills really. You will also have to compress the caliper piston back so maybe a G clamp?

Has anyone used one of these on their Hippo? They seem very cheap but do they work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/V1-4-ELM327-OBDII-OBD2-CAN-BUS-Diagnostic-Scanner-USB-/300596416285?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item45fcf14f1d#ht_5037wt_977

To have different tyre sizes is just plain dangerous IMO - it will certainly do something to the VCU & IRD....... but I am not sure if that will be good or bad

Anything off a V6 or TD4 should fit ok as they got the larger brakes - forget about pre-2000 though as they will foul the brake drums & calipers. I bought a set of 16" alloys for my 2002 TD4. The seller swore that they came off a 2004 until I pointed out the part number says they came off a 1999...

Ooops, I completely forgot about the VCU problem with mis-matched tyres - I'll swap them over next weekend.

I just took the car into my local tyre emporium and they checked the tracking - all within spec. So after a bit of head scratching they suggested that there might be a compatibility issue between the Eagles and the Wranglers. Both types have different compounds and the Eagles are more suited to...

I just double checked and now realise that I have Goodyear Eagle NCT5 on the front and Goodyear Wrangler on the rear (same profiles though). I wonder if the combination might have problems - I might try swapping fronts to rears and see if that stops the squealing.
