    Freelander 2 (LR2) Tyres (again)

    Literally fitted these a month or so ago. So far, really nice, not noisy at all and good in the wet. Good grip off road. I fitted Geolander 015’s on the F1 - they also perform well in all conditions including green laning. I think the Wildpeaks look a little more aggressive, which I like -...

    Front lower wishbone: 2006 FL 1

    Have you sprayed it with penetrating fluids over a few days, then just tried a good 6-sided socket on a breaker bar?

    They had some in Launceston this morning - they told me it got fairly sketchy on the A30 over Okehampton.

    Apart from being discombobulated, you shouldn’t get too disgruntled over it. Hmm…..

    Has a 2014 Fl2 a cold start procedure?

    AFAIK, you can just depress & hold clutch, push the start button and release it immediately… the car will do what’s needed behind the scenes and start itself when ready. That said, I was shown by a Sage on here to push the button to switch on ignition, and allow it to do its vehicle checks...

    How the language has evolved fascinates me too. English has had an awful lot of external influences over the centuries and learning how some of todays words came about can be really interesting. This statement leaves me discombobulated… 🤔😉

    Heater very cool even on max

    Chances are your temp gauge does not get past 1/4? If so, probably your stat is stuck open, which is quite common for these. Bad news is changing the original stat is quite a job. Good news is you can leave it alone and fit an in-line stat into the car, which will let it run up to 1/2 on the...

    Weird noise

    That might be the place to start looking then…

    Weird noise

    I wondered that… it sounds a bit like the drone from the one in my F1… Doesn’t the F2 have an auxiliary electric heater that kicks in whilst the engine warms up? Could be something to do with that perhaps. @badlad does this happen only when the car is cold, or or only when the weather is cold?

    Yes - it is a very good video for seeing the job at a diy level.

    Freelander 1 No gear selection.

    Ok - just watched the ‘09 FL2 video. The guy has clearly done plenty of them, but the way he is just throwing the bolts on the floor here, there and everywhere leaves me wary. What does he do when he cant find one of them? I’m sure they are much cheaper than most due to no overheads for...
