mine fell off friday, patched it up but will order a new one

you are pushing the unlock twice arnt you? freelander unlock only drivers door on first press and all others on 2nd.

:doh:

I think the 17' Triple Sport on mine look great, i would think going any bigger would ruin the ride.

I wanted to put a new set on though

Hi i was wanting to remove my side bars as they have suffered terminal corrosion, but when i turn the bolt holding it on it just turns and turns without coming off. Its there something I am not doing?

I was looking to remove mine, but it seems that it catches on the wing and the bumper stopping it being released. Do you have to unbolt the wing or bumper to get it out?

Re the HDC Light. The problem is in the gearstick itself, the wires have come out od the connector and thus the car does not know your in 1st or reverse. Pull up the front of the geastick gaitor and its clearly visible. Some people solder it in, i just uses an mini screwdriver to adjust...

Well i have owned the freelander for 4 days and have laready started to but stuff for it. I managed to ger a brand new rain cover (for when i remove the hardtop) for £25 and a bike rack for 4 bikes that bolts onto the spare wheel. Only annoying thing was whilst on ebay buying thiese bits, i...

lol see how it got the name. i hope its a good one too, wife picked (I wanted a p38 rangy). She normally picks the good cars and normally go for ones with big engines and lots of problems

ohh and as a newbie, whats a hippo

Well you will be glad to know i bought it :) Looks imaculte, its a 98 Hardtop XEi with 83000 miles on the clock New MOT 1 Years Warrenty and checked with the warrenty company it has 4x4 cover and Cat Cover aswell, does cover HG Failure :) Its has the roof bars, the front nudge bar with...

Jeez, I've been a member of a 300zx club for years, they are expensive to maintain and i was constantly doing something or other on the thing. One thing i did know though, that the other members were excellent with advice and help. Are members here not enthusiasts? I cant beleive I...

Why? I do 4,000 miles a year and the car has 1 years warrently. Jeez, this place can be bloody negative, supprise anybody every buys a landy of any kind after reading some of the coments posted on here.

probally will change anyway, but at 82000 its either been changed or about to snap i guess

so the answer is No then i guess. does it not need to be removed for head gasket change?

Hi was looking at a Freelander, which had a new HG last year, but there is no record of a timing belt change and engine is on 82000. Dealer say thats he is certain that the belt would have been changed as part of the HG replacement. Is this plausable.

tbh i would be happy with the 4.0se too, HSE would be a bonus, but overal condition is the main factor.

what would be signs of excess pressure when the car is cold? will it spit out water. If you take the oil cap off a range rover when running what should and should not happen? (i.e is spitting little bits of oil normal, should the revs drop etc). I really want a V8 and not a diesel, just not...

Thanks for the replies. My Zed cost me a bomb and would have cost me far more if I hadnt been a member of a forum to get some wisdom and then have a go at fixing things myself. I heard a lot of people saying about problems with the air springs and seeing lots of rangerovers with these...
