Been away for the weekend with Caravan. Its the 1st time i've towed it with a Freelander (55 reg TD4 HSE). Got it hitched up o.k. Got to site, couldn't get it off:confused: The caravan has an Alko stabiliser and the FL is fitted with a gen LR towbar(with spacer) and an ALKO ball. When you lift...

Go for the Hella relay. I bought a cheaper one and the dash indicator now flashes all the time (although dim without the caravan connected). Try this. Its the part no. quoted earlier in thread. HELLA INDICATOR RELAY HEAVY DUTY -UNIVERSAL FIT FLASHER on eBay, also Tow Bars, Touring Travel, Car...

If you swap more warn front with less worn back it causes extra wear on the drivetrain / VCU. I thought on FL that if fitting in two's the newest i.e largest diameter / circumference are to be fitted to the back to keep the drive balanced. Every time a new pair is fitted the newest should be put...

Rang round for part today. Mine was an STC 000120 which has now been replaced with STC 000160 apparently. For some reason these were alot dearer than the ones up to 2000MY. Mines a 2000 X but 2001 GS Model. They quote me £117 ! I rang some more but nobody seemed to be able to get one for me. I...

Well clutch been fine. 600 miles this week. Then coming home today on roundabout pushed pedal - it went straight to the bottom and wouldn't come back up. Luckily the lights were on green and I managed to get to a layby where i phoned for the cavalry! Looks like the seal on the master end but its...

Went Mondo last week as I was going on a 600 mile round trip. What a difference to fuel consumption! Seems a bit lite on the front though and not used to wheel spin when pulling out of junctions. I will see how it goes for now and might put it back before winter.

Cheers John. The relay is the same as the one you fitted. You obviously don't have the same problem. I will see if they will exchange it. Tony

Hi MHM. The wiring was plug and play. It came with a Dixon Bate towbar. I changed the relay for one that I bought seperately. Tony

Hi Guys I fitted the electrics today. Plugged the relay in. Everything worked o.k. Unplugged the trailer board and retested. The trailer sysmbol still flashes. Should the trailer light on the dash flash when the trailer is not attached? Enybody any ideas? Thanks Tony

Hi I bought a cheap £50 Sony single CD with ipod input from Argos. It came with iso lead that plugged straight in. Steering controls aren't connected but I always forgot to use them anyway. This replaced the beige Phillips Cassette player. I left the multichanger where it is (I never had the...

I have used DIY re-gassing a couple of times. It is about 80PSI on the low pressure side when running. The secret is to warm the can in a jug of water to increase the pressure. It sometimes gets a bit slow as you get down the can but o.k. for me. Never have found the leak. I top it up once a...

Cheers for that John. I will get one ordered. I fitted one to my other FL a few years ago but it was the scotchlok and buzzer type. Thought i'd do it properly on this one. tony

Hi I have bought an N type plug in electrics kit. It hasn't come with the upgrade relay. Does anybody know the spec/ part no and the best place to get one from. Thanks in advance. Tony:confused:

I thought so. I studied pictures of both and couldn't tell the difference apart from about £100+ quid and a pair of gloves. Expensive gloves?

Hi I have been looking at a towbar for my freelander. On comparison Dixon Bate and Landrover Genuine bars look identical. Do dixon Bate make them for LR?

Good thinking Ianda. Why didn't I think of that! I understand that Dixon Bate towbars are the same as LR original equipment. Is this right? I have seen a new Dixon Bate fixed one with electrics at a good price.

Cheers guys. I dropped on a genuine LR brand new S type socket kit for £20 this week on ebay. I'm looking out for the rest now.

Got a bargain there didn't you chaser. Genuine Landrover removable bar on e-bay about £220. Cheapest is a Witter at about £190. Single electrics about £40!

Hi I need a bit of advice. I am looking at fitting a towbar to my 05 TD4 Hse. The first question is will the towball interfere with the reverse parking sensors? :confused: I've been looking at the electric kits available. I have found dedicated standard N type kits that just plug in. If i use...

Not sure. I think it was something to do with spacing fom VCU
