There are similar problems diagnosed on the Freelander section of the website. You may have a dodgy ignition switch, which will be a relatively straightforward fix. Cheers Blippie

We have road tyres on the TD4 and it is a hoot off road and suprisingly capable... Cheers Blippie

Ours has been good too. The last snow I had a great time in our old Defender, but this time I'm in the Freelander, and having a great time BUT being warm, able to hear the radio, defrosting easily, etc. Mrs Blip was last seen with the keys to her Puma 90 in one hand and a recovery rope in the...

They do appropriate sizes in either General Grabber or BFG. Both makes have a very good reputation. Got nearly 90,000 miles out of our last set of BFGs and there was still loads of tread left. Good road manners and not much more fuel consumption. What surface will you be launching/recovering...

Sings... "I'm Jammin'...." Cheers Blippie

I think the "not a cubbybox but a seat with a storage flap" seat is a good idea. Cheers Blippie

Our 2002 TD4 is approaching 110k, most reliable car we've ever had. Engine-wise we had to replace the fuel pump this year. The TD4 was introduced in 2000 so one would have to have driven 20,000miles/year to make 200k. Cheers Blippie Cheers

The plastic lining of the wheel arch can became unattached and vibrate. Cheers Blippie

For peace of mind you could change pretty much anything. But then would you have peace of mind in the new things? Leave it alone, save your money and enjoy your car. Cheers Blippie

Another vote here for linseed oil. Cheers Blippie

It's not the face lift, it's the changes around 2000 (01MY?) when the introduced bigger brakes for the TD4/V6. Later wheel will fit earlier vehicles but nit viseversa. Cheers Blippie

Certainly don't have this problem in my 1998 L-series or 2002 TD4. Must be about 4-5 mph at most, slightly faster than walking pace. Cheers Blippie

Search the forum for "cubby hole". Cheers Blippie

ATs will not necessarily be better on snowy roads than road tyres. Cheers Blippie

The P38 has the same PCD but different studdynuttyhole size. Cheers Blippie

HGF, MAF, VCU and IRD problems don't show up as fault codes! Cheers Blippie

We run one of our Freelanders on BFG ATs and I notice NO extra noise and the handling is fine. Certainly worth thinking about though the Grabbers seem to have a growing fanbase. Cheers Blippie

I sold a set on eBay for less than a tenner. The tweeters are AMR3019 but you could probably get the entire assembly for same money. Cheers Blippie

No other point at all...

Yes, it is an easy job, just a few bolts. In the meantime, you can hold the elbow joint together with a couple of cable ties, whichcwill keep you safely on the road for miles to come. Cheers Blippie
