    Hmmm, does over full/high pressure trigger the light? Or wonder if the sensor could be failing?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I also found this yesterday! (Folding mirrors.. quote didn't work for some reason??)

    Hopefully so! The flickering oil light concerns me slightly, but I notice the oil is like pi$$ and is overfull. Oil change pending (my drive is mega steep)... Tried HDC today, works well!

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    On the tow bar bike rack front, I used to have a Pendle rack on for my old 5 series BMW. It was great and really adjustable. I only carried 2 bikes so moved 2 holder to the back and spaced the front two for more clearance.

    Ok, will see how it goes with the pipe fitted.

    Well I had the iacv off, cleaned, and functioned with ignition on/off and all seems to work well but I still get the almost cutting out when I come off power (clutch in). Interestingly the cam cover breather was off the manifold when I got it.. if I disconnect this again it all works well?

    New stereo fitted, power but no sound on hk system

    I like the look of that also, once I have ironed out a few other issues on mine I will be attacking that. Is the blue wore the same on all aftermarket head units?

    One letter! Haha It occurred to me earlier that whilst poking around I found a hose off the manifold.. (idle wasn't an issue on the way home from picking it up) I bet this is why! New speakers are needed for the front. Still really tinny, after some searching, found that the cone is solid and...

    Awesome cheers Andy, will check them out! It also has a hot idle issue.. it hunts from about 500rpm to about 1250rpm, almost stalling and some times it does. Oil light even flashes very faintly when Revs drop low. Had a quick Google and it seems to be some sort of IPCV (or some arrangement of...

    Yeah, was thinking about it earlier.. I stall the thing that much in a straight line enough as I am so used to a diesel auto, and diesel manuals at work! Will get the OWUT done and record timings. It'd be nice if I didn't need to spend £300 on a VCU. Think I'm going to have a go at albrios...

    Parked up at work today and reversing into the space suggested VCU is a bit tight!

    Headlights working doesn't mean battery is good. Cars are super sensitive now to battery's, I have had a few occasions the same situation as you and it has been the battery. It might not be, I'm no Freelander expert, but I wouldn't rule out the battery.

    Found the source of the exhaust/prop interference... Front upper driver's side engine mount was basically not attached... The fitting on the engine block has one partially stripped hole, and the other looks ok. Both holes must have been damaged as the bolts wouldn't run down. New bolts, and...

    Tailgate Door Handle replacement

    Me too! Just need to get the window motor working so my door will open!

    Got both front door speakers working after a bit of a clean of the sockets and pi s on the connectors. Much better. Driver's window is being held in place by a wedge of wood. New regulator needed. Tailgate door won't open, micro switch is clicking (even though the handle has snapped off as...
