    Freelander 1 question re auto v manual

    Thats perfect, same sort of thing really, this one had the penny off the stick. All good then, no drama. As I said, its running fine (touch wood) and its going for new tyres tomorrow. Pleased with it so far. Not as much room as a P38, but its much more economical!

But, I am having difficulty obtaining the foam inner door liner from the rear door (previous maintainer had...

    Freelander 1 New Freelander owner.....

    Morning, I have just been gifted an 04 Freelander TD4 SE, it has had the viscous coupling, diff, starter motor and belts all done. The previous owner has bought a new motor and asked if I would like this one. Its 5 years younger and has only done 100k so half what my P38 has done, so yeah, I...

    Hello everybody!
