    Heart Attack at TD4 Exhaust Price!

    My lovely Freelander 2001 TD4. Mid box and rear silencer looking to be replaced. My 4x4 garage, a fairly honest chap, reckons the mid-box is nearly £700 alone... ..the smelling salts woke me up with a jolt. Can anyone enlighten me, what the heck actually is in that mid box? (along...

    Performance exhaust worth it?

    My 2001 TD4 has a Synergy and EGR bypass fitted. It runs very sweetly. The exhaust is now tired and needing renewal soon, the mechanic says the outer skin has gone. Two questions come to mind. Are there any 'performance' exhausts for the TD4, and would they make much difference to power...

    Fabricate Rear Dog Guard Fitting kit?

    I don't know, I know 2 rivnuts are used in bolting each of the two tubular steel sleeves that the 2 arms of the Dog Guard drop into. tbh I am a bit stumped, still feeling my way with auto DIY. Ideas or sketches welcome

    Fabricate Rear Dog Guard Fitting kit?

    Like many Freelander owners, I have dogs and would dearly like a Rear Window Dog Guard fitted, to let the rear window down in the summer while protecting the mutts from being nicked or jumping out. I found a nice rear guard on EBay, but like most that end up for sale there, they don't come...

    Programming a second remote fob

    My 2001 Freelander has 2 hard keys but just 1 Lucas 3TXA remote fob. I'd like to program a second one I have bought privately. Professionally, I am being asked £50 for it to be reprogrammed so that that I can use the new fob, and also the old one. Is this a fair price? I have also seen some...

    Bonner striking wings - any fix?

    Haha! So, my wings (2001 Freelander I) are plastic? Are you sure, I'd swear they are rusting on the wing contact points where the bonnet bashed them (adjustment now well fixed, ta). I'd look but she's away for the w'end. NEVER let the wife get the keys to an automatic 4x4. :mad: Edit -...

    Bonner striking wings - any fix?

    My 2001 Freelander, I have found the bonnet is slamming against the wings and damaging the paint on the contacting surfaces of the bonnet and wings on both side. I think this may have been happening a while before I bought her, I can fix the rust but need to fix this first. The photos show...

    Door Locks, but not Open - which part?

    My 2001 TD4 Nearside-rear passenger door will lock under use of the central locking, but the central locking doesn't open the lock, needing a manual reach-around to pull the door latch to open this door. I can hear a dull clicking noise when I try to open this door with the central...

    Rear Seat Latch?

    Hello Forum, My first post, I have just bought my first Landy, a FreelanderI and I am getting to know her and put a few niggles right. The rear seats have 2 latches/handles to tilt them over for more room, one of them is missing. The one on the left is missing the latch and spring, see photos...
