    I bought a second hand Dewalt 240v Impact gun, it's great but it has 2 options, undo the bolt or snap it off. It's removed a few crank bolts others have failed to move Have to check its set to undo before you press the trigger

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Started getting my nudge bar ready to fit but as it was removed by a cack handed heathen all I've managed to do is repair the damaged fixings and order some new stainless bolts

    RDX Blue LED switche are blinding me at night!!

    I live quite close to Bolt On Bits and went looking for some spots and other bits. Ended up leaving with nothing and ordering stuff online. Best thing for silly bright led's is a tip ex pen on the top

    Frost re-setting mileage trip?

    I'd say you are correct, my battery died in the cold and I had the same first symptom

    Freelander 1 Centre console / radio surround swap

    I looked into this but didnt like the small facelift switches, as i often wear gloves and like the chunky preface ones

    I do like that colour, and you have spot light brackets :) Good to see another 1.8, far too many "my td4 is broken" threads for my liking ;)

    Freelander lift kit

    I think island do one that works out about £175 with the dreaded, took about 4 seconds of searching to find it. There was a bloke on eBay selling them for £50, but they looked very similar to some other ones and he disappeared one day

    I've noticed that when pushing on a bit in the wet, not a huge issue as im advancing in age I have tended to slow down BUT, as its not a TD4, I don't want/need/like/care about/have any interest in/will never drive a td4 or even like the sound they make its kind of a pointless post I see yet...

    Thanks @Alibro I was inspired to put the thread up after reading yours. I had the head done but he barely had you touch it, and I used the Payen multilayer gasket *touch wood* no issues yet, and I'm approaching 1000 miles since rebuild Regulator is on its way, just the festive period and new...
