    No problem,nope sorry other than they are cr&p,I replaced the rear window mechanism as the wire had snapped but nothing in regards to locks/locking,I’m sure there will be some information on here somewhere though.

    No 2 min job just a bit awkward to get back in,well that one was.Look right up and it’s next to your brake peddle you will see the harness coming off it and it was quarter of a turn and it comes out.Thats the modified one (the pic)completely different connection might be worth double checking in...

    It was on a flash deal and didn’t come with the harness,The standard one I just fitted today on my father in laws was Which seems to have sorted the problem but it’s sorn at the moment so can’t take it on a full drive.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    That made me laugh even though it shouldn’t been a dog person, but yeah seems to click and lock in place alright there should be some brackets/tabs on the bottom as well but mine never came with them I will just keep a lookout for flying spaniels.

    Painted and fitted the dog guard behind the rear seats,have to make some brackets for the rear window one,fitted the soft top and found the side finishers are missing so ordered some new ones and a red key.

    Freelander 1 Auto box stuck in 1st for a few hundred yards.

    Could it be a bad speed sensor? had that problem on my Audi where sometimes it wouldn’t change up from 3rd to 4th that started off doing it randomly until it got gradually worse.

    1.8 camshaft oil seals

    Thanks for that,I came to the conclusion that a little bit of knowledge is dangerous and have paid someone to do it.I would rather pay the £120 quid,the pumps and thermostat haven’t long been replaced,but he is changing the belt because of the oil getting on it.

    Freelander 1 Bump as pulling away

    Had a thud on mine low speeds first and second gears and it was the diff mounts as Gg said replaced them last week for the polybush ones.

    Freelander 1 Newbie fed up with garages ripping me off

    I tried buying another for parts/braking but ended up fixing it/getting it fixed (some parts I didn’t feel comfortable doing)I have just gave it to my father in law as he took a shining to it. The undertrays are cheap enough and plentiful.

    Freelander 1 Newbie fed up with garages ripping me off

    I think I read somewhere on here the facelift has some more fixings around the bumper area,don’t know if it would be a problem getting one off a pre facelift to fit as I have never taken mine off yet as someone decided to cut a hole in it for oil changes.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Oh well that explains that then :) but I would have thought if prices were high for such basic things as oil filters it would bring the price of the vehicle down? As people might not want to spend so much on an older car and just buy a newer one,even with the fix it attitude there must be a...
