I live in Herefordshire, not far from the Welsh border. I have previously owned three Range Rover Classics (not all at the same time) and I have just bought a 2005 facelift Freelander 1 to do the off-road things that I don't want to do with my Jaguar XF.
The Freelander has done 190,000 miles but is still quite tidy with no visible rust damage. It has one problem that I am looking for a solution to. Some of the nearside dipped headlight beam shines up into the tree-tops. I have just had the headlights aligned by my local MOT garage and they would pass the test because this rogue part of the beam does not appear on the screen in the tester. The man at the garage is puzzled and thinks that I will have to get a new headlight unit. The local Land Rover expert thinks that the optics of the lens have been changed by too much polishing.
Has anyone had the same problem and if so, what did you do to fix it?
Cheers,
...Trevorn

! Changed by to much polishing! Sounds like a keeper!
