Hi Mike I've had both. I prefer the TD4. My 1.8GS did suffer the headgasket failure but was replaced with the upgraded one, head skimmed and thermostat mods etc and i never had another problem. I sold it on and then somebody at work bought it about a year later. He's done another 30K (now 96K)...

Depending on the Alko model you can get a detachable handle for use with 4x4 that makes it a bit easier. Mine is the double sided model. You remove the red plastic handle and fit this replacement when needed. Works better but still not perfect. Check this out. Alko Retro Fit 4x4 Handle For...

Must be the weekend for it! I removed the sumpguard to change the engine oil and found an oily mess! When I inspected it looks like its coming from IRD somewhere. I topped it up but further investigation required. It hadn't lost much and i checked the level last year when I serviced it. I left...

There were some new ones (reproduction) knocking about on ebay last year for about £100 when I was looking. Think this was it. Load space Cover parcel shelf landrover Freelander tan on eBay (end time 27-Mar-11 15:36:03 BST)

The answers are there. If your so concerned get your wallet out!

I have posted the link already today for somebody to find their manual (Freelander 05). Have a look in todays postings and all will be revealed. Its not on Green Oval anymore. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/users-manual-138870.html

Leave it as is it should be fine. Don't worry!! I have posted a link to user manual / rave today for Freelander 05. Worth downloading and checking out for future.

The menu screen is the rave-lr PDf file. Click on freelander and the rest opens up.

Fronts should have a smaller circumference than rears. That is why when changing in pairs you always put the new ones to the back. I take it they didn't measure them at the garage or they would know this. Remember larger rolling diameter always to back (unless you are lucky enough to be able to...

Hi If you have a look on the attached link you can download all info and manuals. Its a big file but has plenty of info. You need to download and follow the instructions on the webpage. land rover service factory manual RAVE download land rover resource, service manual, workshop factory...

Hi Guys I am going to change the front brake pads on my 05 TD4 in a few weeks. Which are the best ones to go for at reasonable money. I've see EBC Ultimax for about £29, Mintex for about £22 or of course the original part for about £40. Anybody got any recomedations / preferences. Thanks...

It fixed itself! Thanks for the wiring diagrams, I still need to look at the heater on the drivers side.

Thanks for that ianda. I will have a look tommorrow. Cheers Tony

I think there are a few universal ones out there that fit. I used to use a set from an Astra estate (with rails) adjusted to fit the rails on the 3 dr. I use a genuine LR ones now that i got from ebay for £20. These are adjustable for width so presume they fit other models with rails too...

Hi My TD4 HSE has electric folding mirrors (or did have until today:(). When I came back yo the car today and switched the switch nothing happened. I had a quick look at fuses but couldn't find which one it was. Also are the heaters in the mirrors repairable. One of those stopped working a few...

Same here. I just invested in two Pirelli Scorpion STR for the rear and moved the the Synchrones forward. The Pirelli's are M+S rated. The Synchrones on the front still have about 4-5 mm on after running for 56k on the rear. Although there is plenty of tread left they are cracking slightly so as...

I have the Simbars one that fits through the spare. It does the job. I have used it for two adult bikes and a childs up to this year. When I tried 3 adult bikes its a squeeze. Because the rack is offset the bikes only really fit one way round otherwise the rear wheel sticks out too far. The "V"...

Thats what I thought chaser. I'm only buying too so its not like they can go on the front either.

:confused: Hi Guys Going to get some new tyres (225/55/17). The ones that are on have a rating of 101 (extra load - 825kg) but the ones i'm being recomended are Pirelli Scorpion with a rating of 97 (730kg). Checked the numbers and the stated rear axle load is 1460kg so the Pirelli's are...

We did!
