done that too, quite embarrassing when driving round with that noise. i think it must have bent a little when i glanced at it that once.

i've already suggested the rear drums but it's apparently definitely not them. changed my front discs and pads miself last weekend and all is fine with mine

I'd keep that info to yourself. telling people there gaylander technology came from a maestro won't fill them with confidence. not one bit. in fact i'm starting to feel a bit down about it now. thanks mate i really wanted to know that. i can feel myself welling up a bit here.

Hmmmm, that could explain the rattling interior and shoddy carpet work. obviously this 16 year old apprentice thing was in a dark room at the time.

i wouldn't have called an sneaky auto opening window a unique selling point, more of a liability if owt else. and as you pointed out as if getting keys out of you pocket wasn't bad enough how can you drop shopping through a hard load cover. they didn't think this through did they, not really.

can't say i've met the guy so i couldn't comment. come to think of it never met anyone in here, god damn it.

i'm sure someone in here would have a jolly good suggestion of what to throw in. i'm not going to name names but his name is "sean"

mine used to do that when i left my key fob in my pocket and inadvertently held the unlock button down. this causes the window to open for some god forsaken reason, also if it's a 3 door then i've read on here it could be the micro switch that detects if the roof has been removed.

according to the hand book and i believe the bible (Haynes manual) they are interchangeable. as to where to get one from and how much i don't know. sure someone else will be along soon to help.

i wasn't being funny or owt just throwing ideas around really. one of my mud shields somehow ended up rubbing on the disc, made a rate racket. got some funny looks too whilst getting home.

oh cock. speaking of poor quality pads got mine of flebay, does the mud/dust shield interfere in any way then or is it simply w**k pads and discs

if discs and pads been changed and it still there could it be the rear drums do ya think? if changing my discs and pads don't work then there will be lots of swearing and jumping up and down, then i'll move onto the back,

mine make a grinding nosie too, quite annoying really. hopefully changing them when i get home from work (only the front tho) pads look a bit threadbare, just out of interest will Ovoline lubricant be ok as an anti-seize thingy, can get hold of copper grease.

just to answer the sensor question, i believe it's hidden in the headlining, you will have to remove the courtesy light in the middle to see it. and remove the whole headlining to mess with it i found this out when i accidentally snapped my areal and had to replace it.

i've got a 53 plate 1.8 kalahari 3dr and apart from a few scares that turned out to be nothing at all and a few squeakes here and there mine has been ok. strangely enough paid £6k for it with 41,000 miles. now got 52,000 and runs ok for now. i've trawled though these pages and it is hit and...

thanks everso. it's not happened yet i was just curious.

afternoon all, i keep seeing comments about Freelander doors falling off and tried searching these pages to see what it was all about about can't find owt. can anyone enlighten me????

had my 53 plate with 50000 on clock just over a year now and apart from the ocean in the cubby hole and a strong vibration which disappeared when i cleaned it nothing has really gone wrong YET.

i had this prob and think like the others said it was condensation, like jonh t i drilled holes in it but i ended up with loads of holes not just 3 and it seems fine now, i used a 4mm bit and pepperd the lid with holes, worked a treat.

strangly enough Kwik-Fit still show them on there web site, BUT they also claim... "Kwik Fit are experts in automotive parts repair including tyres, brakes, exhausts, MoT testing, car servicing, air conditioning recharge and windscreen repair" but that is a whole new debate. i needed a...
