    Im thinking of buying a soft top for my 3 door Freelander

    I must either be bored or on some weird trip after finally securing some roof bars for my 2001 Freelander 2.5 GS. ..... because someone just offered me a soft top for it for £150 .... Is that a good price for a second hand good condition soft top? Or will it be one of those things I end up...

    Why does my Freelander alarm keep going off?

    Ok folks - thanks for the advice - It ain't the keyfob and it ain't the battery - battery is newish. Found out now that if I lock the car with the key - it doesnt happen so this has got to be something different about the alarm setting when set with the remote?

    Engine shot on 2.5 V6 after 31k????

    Tell me more about swapping the engine for a Rover 220 turbo lump? Are there any other engine alternatives - bodywork and interior are immaculate would be a shame to scrap her. I am taking the arse hole who misrepresented her on sale to the small claims court - I have found out from ringing...
