    Cover for Off-Road

    Just got through my renewal with Adrian Flux - a pleasing £611. But...... On checking with the rep on the phone, that doesn’t cover off-road driving. The concession he arranged with the underwriters was that it would cover green-laning. As far as I’m aware, green lanes are considered part of...

    I might be thick.....

    Hi I've got a D4 and am only really interested in reading posts about the D3/D4. Is there a way of setting up filters on the site so that I don't see posts which aren't relevant to me?

    Off-road Cover for One Day

    Hi I'd like to go on the Land Rover experience day, run by my local Land Rover Experience Centre, in my own vehicle (accompanied by an instructor from the centre). My standard insurance doesn't cover for off-roading and I've struggled to find a company which will provide short-term off-road...

    Disco v Freelander

    I'm in a bit of a quandry. I've got an FL2, which I love, but its boot is slightly too small for us (have recently acquired a labrador). Also, the additional 2 seats in the boot is an attraction when considering my wife's non-driving parents. I've seen a 59-plate HSE D4 with 44k on the clock...

    Declining Fuel Economy

    Hi My 59 plate FL2 has, since I got it 18 months ago, given me between 27 and 40 MPG. Recently, that's dropped way down to 29 - 30. I've checked the tyres and they are correctly inflated. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be, or what I could (easily) check?

    iPod connectivity

    Hi I have a FL2 with a single CD player and no touch screen control. I like being able to play the iPod via the Aux jack, but don't like not being able to easily change tracks etc. Is there a way of getting my iPod hooked into the Fl2's stereo so that I can control the iPod from the...

    Hard-wire a sat nav

    Have bought a TomTom for my FL2 and it sits nicely in the cubby hole on the dash. Problem is that the cable trails over the rest of the fascia to plug into the adapter. Is there a way of having the wiring behind the dashboard so I don't have trailing cables? Ideally, I'd prefer not to use the...

    Roof bars and dog guard

    Hi Having sold my Passat Estate after 12 years and loving the FL2, have now encountered a couple of minor problems. First one is most pressing. I am used to being able to put a Christmas tree on the roof of the Passat - by my FL doesn't have roof rails or roof bars to let me do this. Can...

    What Sat Nav to fit?

    Hi Just bought a second hand FL2 and absolutely love it. Although my new car is older than my wife's current car, she's a bit jealous (she's the petrol head between us). My last car (VW Passat estate) was 12 years old and so my requirements in my new car were few - bluetooth, multi-function...

    Freelander 2 - Revs drop off around 2k and then pick up again

    Hi My FL 2 is the 2.2 diesel manual version (59 plate). I've noticed when accelerating that the revs can go up beyond 2k and then the drop back to aroun 1.5 - 1.8k before picking up again. I'm not aware of any loss of speed whilst this happens so don't know if its the turbo kicking in. Car...

    Towbar-mounted 4-bike Carrier

    Hi Apologies if this has been covered (I've searched and don't think it has), but I need a 4-bike carrier for my Freelander 2. First, though, I need to get a tow bar fitted. I'm not confident tackling this myself so will get it done professionally. Does anyone have any recommendations /...

    Freelander 2 - bike carrier help!

    Hi This is is my first post here. I just got my Freelander today (F2, 59 plate) and love it. I need to be able to cart around our bikes (3 adult, 1 child) and the only option I've seen so far is the towbar mounted one. However, I don't have a towbar... Does anyone have any advice...
