    towing

    I have towed another Freelander behind mine L-series on a boggy car trailer. 2000(+50)kg wasnt a very big problem. I was a little worried about some steep hills, but it managed okey. I would have no worries towing with the TD4.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    On mine they had fitted LH spring on the RH side and vica versa and it did unclip. Cant remember which color on which side. But you should check that,

    carpet removal and heater

    You have to drain it and remove the heater and the "intake box/plastic thing". But as Winu told me you can also cut the carpet around the heater/the box. Might be a lot easier.

    Turtle wax black shine does the same as what Morten use. Its some black pigments in it.

    Changing the whole interior

    It was supposed to be a fast and easy job. I never have the time to work on my Freelander. But its slowly progressing. Now my Defender Puma is arriving soon, so hopefully i still got some time for my FL. :D Now the "only" thing i have left to replace is dashboard. But it takes some time to...

    Nice Freeby Winu!

    That is a very clean Freelander Winu. Im very impressed on how much effort youre putting on everything you do. I have to agree with you that the plastic restorer job wasnt all that. Im using Turtle Wax Black Shine. Which has some coloring in it. In other words the rag im using and my hands are...

    seat removal, pre tensioners

    Those contacts are part of your wiring loom. I think the white ones are heated seats, grey might be cd changer?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    seat removal, pre tensioners

    I have heated cloth seats. Black connector is heating and yellow is pretensioner. If you dont have the connector there is no heating element in the seat.

    Removing Front Bumper - Definitive Guide

    Good, sometimes it sounds perfectly clear in my head. But it isnt. Correct grade of antifreeze all year long. Too much hazzle to be saving a few bucks in the summertime :) I flush and change it every second year to be on the safe side.

    Removing Front Bumper - Definitive Guide

    That sounds very nice. Here where i live the coldest the last few year have been -38C degrees in the winter time and yet there is +25C today. You probably landed on Gardermoen, Rygge or Torp(Sandefjord) then.

    seat removal, pre tensioners

    It wont set off the airbag, but your whole SRS system will be disabled and SRS warning lamp will be on with the passenger pretensioner unplugged. It isnt very unsafe to drive around without a functional airbag system if you dont crash. But then again you never know if your gonna be in a head...

    Removing Front Bumper - Definitive Guide

    Well not any sense to what i wrote. I was trying to explain how much i hate to remove the bumper because of the screws that get rusted shut. Like it would almost be easier to drop the engine to gain access to the radiator than to remove the bumper to gain access. English is not my native...

    Auto folding mirrors

    I think the power fold mirrors came in 2000. So 2000-2006.

    How VCU works.

    The VCU will engage both ways. So when one off the rear wheels are "slipping" it will transfer the "power" to the front wheels.

    Removing Front Bumper - Definitive Guide

    Ok, maybe its just a norwegian phenomenon. We use to much salt in the wintertime here and i havent come by a front bumper that i didnt have to drill out the screws yet. There is also no support behind those screws so when drilling youre just pushing the soft plastic upwards. So here lies my...
