Hello All Hope you are all keeping well, I last owned a Freelander about 2009, I have since run an XTrail which has proven to be a very reliable car. She is getting a bit long in the tooth now. I am off this afternoon to look at a 2.2d Freelander 2 Auto. I am not terribly mechanically minded...

Hi all Been a while since I posted as nowt has gone wrong!!!!! Had my 51 reg 1.8 for a year now 75000 when I got it 85000 on now. Just sailed through its MOT, the only money spent £180 on a blown exhaust and £50 for clutch slave cylinder, not bad considering that if you believe some of the...

Hi Ladies and Gents Anyone know of a good reliable independent garage where I can get basics done (eg services etc) in the Sunderland/Newcastle area. Where I will not be completely ripped off. Had my freebie (1.8 2001) since July done 5000 miles, only prob so far (fingers, legs, arms...

Hi All Has anyone ever bought these silver or wood dashboard trim kits on ebay for about 50 quid. The photos look quite good and the fleabay feedback is quite good, just wondering if anyone on here used them. Cheers

Hi Gents - I am going to spray the spare wheel cover on my 51 reg 2001 freelander the same colour as the vehicle (no free advertising for the steelers!!!), I went to Halfords and the colour guide says there is only 1 blue colour for 2001 freelenders onwards - Oslo Blue - anyone know if that is...

Hi Guys Is it easy to remove the plastic interior lining on the freelander, mines all scuffed and someone has given me some plastic spray paint and obviously I would rather do it off the car, does it effect the window mechanism if you remove the plastic cover? Thanks all.

Well, a month into freelander land and I ventured out for a long journey, packed the essentials, water, oil, coolant, tow rope, new head gasket, new engine, credit card, joined the RAC and off I set. 250 trouble free miles later I returned completely unscathed. What are all you people on about...

Evening all, the clutch pedal on my 1.8 freelander has gone completely in that it pushes to the floor and just stays there (previously driving normally) I'm hoping its just the clutch cable or the freelander equivilant. Any ideas please before a trip to the garage. Cheers

I have been in the world of the freelander for 3 weeks now (51 reg 1.8se 5 door, 77000 miles) and although there has been the odd problem, its nice to drive, looks good, and is nice and clean but its worrying I come on here and everyone just slags the car off, with justification I'm sure but...

Hi guys, anyone any suggestions for cleaning/restoring the grey plastic bumpers and wheel arch trim. I have spayed them with trim shine products but aftera few days it wears off. Somebody at work says he has seen (but can't remeber where) a bumper polish that is grey in colour. Any ideas. Cheers

:( Another day another problem, rear drivers window on 5 door stopped working from both the centre console switch and the door switch. No sound at all. What do I look at first. ( Apart from ditching the heap of crap after 3 weeks!!!! )

Hi lads and lasses, anyone out there any advice the amber engine warning light has come on on my 2001 freelander 1.8 petrol. The handbook as always is vague. It reckons if it comes on and the car drives normally its OK to drive. Is it OK to drive and for how long, oil and coolant levels are...

Hi - Just new to the freelander and forum, can someone point me to step by step instructions to remove the rear prop shaft. Its probably on here somewhere but I can't find it. When people telk about removing it do they mean from the VCU back and including the rear of the two bearings! I know...

I have had a very rough intro to the world of the freelander. Bought a 2001 1.8 ES on Friday, seemed good, no unusual noises, starts well, drives nicely, lovely and clean. Saturday the casing of rear section of the viscous coupling completely sheared off and ended up spinning around the...
