    Radio replacement

    I replaced the Blaupunkt CD/Radio in my Freelander with an Alpine CDE-113BT from Halfords yesterday swopping was very simple and setup for bluetooth for phone very easy as well. However when playing a CD to setup balance and fader it became apparent that the font speakers (all 4) were not...

    Freelander tyre recommendations?

    All the same size I know they have to be and also replace all together if possible or at least where circumference is as close as possible to be equal. Thanks for the info while what I have on is not ultra low profile I feel 4x4 vehicles look ugly unless sprting the proper (large side wall)...

    Freelander tyre recommendations?

    Should think 32000 miles is pretty good mileage, and I was wondering how long a set of tyres lasts on a freelander. Back tyres on my previous car a MGF 14000 max and the fronts around 25000. My Freelander has 225x45x17 but was thinking a higher profile would suit better. Tyres were on it when I...

    Do you regret buying a Freelander?

    Love mine to bits 1.8 3 door Breamar though could have had bluetooth and satnav but as a 51 plate I guess that it is too old for such fancy gadgetry.

    When your vehilce is sold........

    On a lighter note, I have just gained a 1.8i Freelander Braemar, named Rosie by the 6 year old daughter of the previous owner. I have never actually named any of the vehicles I have owned but for some reason I have decided that Rosie shall remain Rosie, probably because of the "Bon Voyage" card...
