:bounce: A few times but only slowly since think plod might object if I try going around roundabout the wrong way to find out if I get the same noise from the rear right side. LOL

Sorry for thread revival but I'm getting a knocking/grinding sound and vibration from possible the rear passenger wheel (I guess since the vibration travel through to my left side when driving) only when I go around a roundabout fast or turn right sharply any idea? Don't think it does it on...

Just wandering why the Freelander has so many nicknames and the reasoning behind it? ****lander Gaylander Hippo Freebie Freeloader I guess the first 2 are due to the reliability and image with other Land Rover drivers?

Just spoke to garage to advise them on that sine they only just fitted one and turns out the revere lights where also stuck on so the new switch must of been knackered so they have ordered another so should get the car back tonight working hopefully.

Also it appears my rear wiper seems to operate when you turn the front wipers on and cant be turned off while there on?

I though that only related to the 2001 onward models from what I was reading?

Yes TC and ABS come on with ignition but go out when you start driving only HDC stays on when driving?

The Hill Descent dash light wont go out on my Freelander 1.8 1998. I've read if its a post 2000 model change the Brake switch or change the Throttle switch on post 2001 models but cant find ANY information on pre 2000 models with the problem? Should I give up looking and see if an auto...

Hmm attacking the water pump is an interesting idea.:mil13: I have a 1998 1.8 Freelander with the same problem of the HDL not going out when driving. But after reading various info seems sensible to take it to an auto electrician in that case since the brake pedal switch trick wont work I...

I have now ordered some 4x Geolanders. As for the VCU it had one fitted recently (probably because of the odd tyres) and a drive shaft so hopefully once I change them it should be Ok with luck.

Just picked up my Freelander 1 it has 2x 195/80R15 on the front and 1x 195/100R15 and 1x 195/SR15 on the rear? All are a different make and tread so thinking if fitting yokohama geolandars all round if there any good?

Just found this thread. Didn't realise having no mirror backs was so common. The feelander I'm buying has electric mirrors both of which have no backs but covered in gaffa tape so it would seem that is a common problem?

Hoping to pick up my Freelander from garage where I bought it on Tuesday and that has TC & HD light on would fitting a new switch to a 1998 1.8XEi solve the problem or is it just a fix for the 2000 onward models?

Well it was either a Freelander or a Battered RAV4 since my budget wasn't high enough for anything else.

I was wandering about getting a set of Geolanders for the Freelander I'm thinking of buying since it seems to have 4 different makes fitted at present. What are they like on the road since that's where it will spend most of its life.

I’m considering buying a Freelander 1.8XEi 5dr from my local mechanic for £1200 the list of work it’s had done are: Lower mileage Rover 75 engine fitted after original went pop New Clutch Recent Diff & Prop Fully serviced and 12 Mths MOT Now I’m wandering is there any way to increase the...
