My silver 5dr td4 has gone missing in Glasgow/ Rutherglen area sometime between Tuesday 8th lunchtime and 9.30 this morning - MM55TRZ Freestyle 17" three spoke alloys, alcantara interior. It's also full of Saab 9000 front body panels in dark blue and the tools needed to remove them...

Has anyone experience of changing a later type "non folding" key to a flip job? On my old '99 it was so simple the key cutting guy had it done for me in minutes once we'd sourced the best new key blank to work from. The keys for my new '06 are completely different though. Still the good old...

I bought a 55 plate TD4 a few days before lockdown and it has been sitting in the car park at work ever since... The battery wasn't great, so I've had it at home charging in the meantime. Question is, are there likely to be any issues with it sitting without power for so long? So, the back...

Hi, it's been a while, but all sorts has been happening with me and only now is it the time to get my Freelanders back on the road! However, I seem to be hitting the same problem with both. Main batterries were flat and have been replaced with fully charged reasonably new ones. The alarm (horn)...

I've been playing with my 1999 1.8 Freelander today and after recharging the battery have been unable to get it to start... The fob unlocks and locks the doors and the engine turns over on the key but isn't firing. I do get a strong whiff of petrol though! When I lock the car I get a quick flash...

I've seen a few threads where folk were buying these from Ebay, but none to say they'd completed the switch over. Are they any good, has anybody genuine experience of them? Are there alternatives? This is what I'm talking about...

Just picked up a second Freelander 1.8 86k miles for peanuts, was losing coolant although loads of paperwork going back years showing proper servicing and hg replaced a couple of years ago. Inlet manifold gasket & squealing waterproof were suspects. Did the gasket, put in a new thermostat, moved...

As per the title, looking for a set of caps for 15" steel wheels please.

It's cold and I'm going to be on my own in the carpark at work, but I need to get the front right hand driveshaft swapped over on my Freelander. Quickest and easiest is the way ahead! I've got the hub nut loosened and assume the next step is to loosen from the IRD end, but can I get away...

Going to need to replace the rear diff on my 1999 1.8 - big bang, lots of oil everywhere, don't ask... :5bbanghead: Anyway, had a search, understand that all ratios are the same, is it worth searching out a later TVK000180 diff with the bigger bearings? Car's mainly used for pootling about...

Thinking of picking up a second set of wheels for my 1999 1.8 5dr. I intend sticking with the 16" alloys, but wondered whether the later 'TD4' wheels are simply differently shaped to clear the brakes or are they more offset? If more offset then they should give a wider track and hence...

I know there's a picture of a 5dr Freelander fitted with the tent on the Caranex site, but is anybody using one and if so which model? Also wondering how it goes with the side hinged door and what about height if I'm running a 2" lift kit and bigger tyres...

As per the title - is anybody running 235/70s on their Freelander? I've picked up a very cheap set of Michelin 4x4s and wondered if anyone had experience of how tight the fit may be before I go ahead and change them over. I will have a 2" lift kit fitted and notice the overall diameter is very...

OK, so it's been a while since I registered, but finally I'm ready to post - after soaking up as much of the great advice here that I could! Was thinking of a Series III, but now off to look at a Freelander. It's cheap enough to be worth a once-over and possible even selling on to raise a bit...

Been lurking here for a while, but am finally off tomorrow morning to have a look at a Freelander 1 1.8 whose 'clutch has popped'. I've had a search about and see that the problem most likely stems from a seized actuator arm, but is there anything else that the goosed hydraulics may be hiding...
