Part Ex'd my Freelander today. Mixed emotions, new car is much newer and much faster, but the Freelander was genuinely one of the best cars I've ever owned. Despite being 10 years old it was surprisingly difficult finding something with the same level of gadgets (the HSE was really well specced...

Hi, Can anyone think of an easy way to get to the 12v feed to the hazard lights from under the bonnet? I've got my FBH wired up to a remote, I'd like an obvious way of showing that it was turned on. Was thinking about supplying a feed to the hazard lights with the FBH remote switch. Running a...

Hi, Before the winter returns I'd like to get my FBH working. I've had diagnostics run and it's showing a Glow Pin and Burner fault. I've found a Webasto engineer who'll fix it, but I need to remove the FBH to send to him. Does anyone know if and how I can temporarily remove the heater unit...

Hi all, My TD4 has always started instantly, but recently it's been reluctant - consistently starting then coughing to a stop after a second. Starts 2nd time round, but runs rough for a little while. Any idea? I know it doesn't sound like too much of a problem, but I don't want this to be a...

Hi, While trying to work out what's wrong with my FBH I had the passenger rear liner off I found a little stray earth wire, the tab it attached to had pretty much rusted off (it came adrift in my hands). It attaches to a tab next to a silver cylinder, I'm assuming it's the fuel pump. Not sure...

Hi, My FBH has stopped working, which is annoying as I've just moved north and it's freezing. In the fuse box under the bonnet, is it FL5 which is 80amps or F5 which is 20 (and has a picture of an engine and lightning bolt on the sticker). Thanks.

Hi, I think I've lost my spare fob and key. :frusty: There's a site here: Land Rover Freelander Key Fob who'll do me a new one for about £60. Is the key "dumb" i.e. just a bit of metal, or has it got some electrickery inside as well? Immobiliser chip etc?

Hi all, We've just had our first frost of the winter, as this is the first winter I've spent with my FL ('04 TD4) outside I thought I better check the anti-freeze. I've got one of those pippet style testers with the floaty balls. It reported a "medium" level of protection. It had a coolant...

Hi, This is the first autumn/winter I've spent with my car outside and (predictably) the cubby in the boot is wet. Spent a bit of time investigating this morning. It's only the passenger side half of the cubby that's wet, the bit that's slightly deeper. I took the trim panel under the rear...

With winter approaching it'd be great to be able to get into a warm car. Any idea how easy it'd be to wire in a switch which starts the FBH up without the engine running? (If I can get this working, I'll replace it with a remote switch later on).

Hi. As I commute to work by train it's not unusual for my car to go unused for two or three weeks. This morning when I started the car and went to pull away I found that the rear passenger wheel was seized solid (and got dragged a good couple of feet). Eventually by rocking the car forwards...

Hi, The FBH on my 04 TD4 HSE is working a treat on these cold mornings, fires up and gets warm really quickly. Thing is, I understand it's supposed to turn off once the car is up to temperature? Mine seems to still be running after a good 45 minute drive (can hear it and feel hot air coming...

Evening all. I've got a Becker Traffic Pro in my 2004 HSE. Is there a way I can have the Sat Nav on (and announcing directions) without having to listen to the radio and/or CD? I suppose I could have the volume controls set up seperately and turn the radio down, but that seems a bit...

Hi, The carpet in the front and rear footwells on the passenger side of my 04 TD4 is soaking wet. It's not oily or smelly, so I don't think it's coolant/antifreeze from the heater matrix. Are there any obvious places where the car leaks? It's as wet in the rear as it is in the front, but the...
