Only the real deep stuff troubling her -

Spotted this - wonder if I might take a chance on it LAND ROVER FREELANDER DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR R/H on eBay (end time 02-Dec-10 13:38:09 GMT)

Any one used britpart - "only" £80 - I don't normally touch em, but LR part likely to outlast the car...

Thanks guys, my rear one had damaged the plastic spool which was another reason for replacement. When it warms up I will remove it and have a look - at least the windows stuck in the "up" position. In the mean time I will ring LR and see what the damage is for a new one! I think it may be...

It's that time of year and rather stupidly I tried to open the drivers windows whilst frozen and snap went the cable. Had the same problem on a rear windows last year albeit in the summer so I think these cables get wet and corrode - around 7 year life span I reckon. Last time I just bought...

On the way home tonight I went over a pot hole and the heater fan stopped working regardless of position! Great I thought, fuse or knackered motor, thats all I need. Had a quick look when I got home and there is a wire and plug that had come out of the motor (located behind the centre...

Mines 90K - barely run-in by comparison :D

I think i posted that a year to two ago and problem so far has never returned. I swapped the two relays over. They are located if you remove the right hand plastic cover over the suspension strut - there are a couple of clips access from inside the boot if I recall.

Welcome to LR ownership - above sounds about par for the course :D

Done it on my 02 TD4 auto few years back - prob similar age to yours at the time. It it just clicking? If so it the metal contacts in the solenoid. One bolt front and other is accessed by removal of battery box on an auto. It's just above gearbox on auto - I believe its a bit more...

2 spanners blimy, must admit i've not read the manual but im going to have a read! Mines not that bad yet - and I read of people on here running them for ages like this as rads don't tend to "go" like rubber piping does. Just keep the bottle of water handy! In "theory" it should be fairly...

I have the same dilema on my TD4, not changed one but was told on here a few months back its quite a job, removing bumper and there are serveral rads apparently if you have aircon. I resisted the temptation to chuck radweld in due to the potential of blocking the heater matrix - particularly...

Sounds a bit like track rod ends - I had similar on a car I had and to be honest it was frightening and pretty dangerous at speed. Get is checked out asap.

Mines the same 02 auto - loosing less than 1 pint a year, small leak in rad. Tiny bit of steam on a cold day from front. My mechanic said don't worry!

Thanks for that - all pretty basic service stuff and the service parts look pretty cheap from what I can see. Some of the bigger items, exhausts, compressors etc look pricey but that's to be expected. 18" Tyres prices etc seems similar able my Freelander 17" for top brands. I tend to prefer...

Considering getting an 03 L322 but wondering if these can be serviced by a regular garage? I appreciate these are a 40K plus cars and parts etc will be expensive but im reasonability handy and have an excellent local mechanic. Fuel/Tyres/insurance should be manageable and I only do around 5K...

Doing a lot of miles at the moment - heres latest : Run down tank and brimmed it - 397 miles mixed longer run and local (about 50/50) - 58 litres (12.8 gal) = 31 MPG. 32.7 is the official combined for an auto so not bad for a 8 year old, 86K. This is also using Millers 4 each tank. I'm...

Try flea bay -5 squid I paid for gen landrover part. Fits perfect.

TD4 auto - 27 local, 34 max on recent run (Sheffield to Glasgow) - about 430 on tank. Once got 35 MPG on a run to London. Improves slightly in warmer weather. I also use Millers 4 every tank. It runs great so not sure if any probs - wondered about changing MAF but if aint broke... Higher...

Does it take into account whats inthe pipes - must be another 5-6L elsewhere? I "only" put £50 quid in at Scotch corner so not sure what it would have taken and that was 3/4 full - maybe abouter 15-20 quid at 121.9 I might be doing that "run" again this week so will try from light to full if...
