    What have you done to your Freelander today

    It's been one of the days of all time Fuel pressure sensor comes out. New one in. Drilled into electrical box and replaced the pins. Starts like it's not done in ages. Idles nicely. Put the hoses back and the cover on. Pathetic DeWalt kit I use doesn't have a "this way up" indication of any...

    Freelander 1 T4 Freelander Disk DTL35X

    You're ahead of me in that I didn't have a part number while I was scouring eBay for these same CDs, I had been looking to obtain them too. You would think a later edition would work but it proved very finicky when I did it and we may even have tried RDS 7 during that period.. I didn't know I...

    Another year another win over the MOT, though it took a new exhaust box to get it When I'm playing audio through my phone the parrot unit uses the Becker's phone pins to overrule the default radio/CD, and the display reflects that. If I stop playing it goes back to what was previously selected

    Had the weirdest experience this morning - flip the (head) lights on and the Becker display inverted colours to green-on-black. Turn the lights off, back to black-on-green. It's never done that since I bought it, and did it reliably until I turned the car off and on again, then it did what...

    New motors in the wing mirrors. Nice to be able to see backwards without them getting pushed in by a mild headwind

    I didn't think that was legal for some reason, I'll give it a try next time they blow up

    Replacement of all the rear bulbs, unfortunately when I went to investigate the stalk above the spare wheel the lens on that might've cracked a little.. a lot.. shattered into three pieces when prised with a screwdriver Does anyone know the part code for the cap that's supposed to go over that...

    Took it to work to avoid some (nonexistent) rain, fine on the way there but wasn't really ready to crank for the way back. I see a pump in my near future

    Gave it a go, key to ignition 2 and lowered the window. Took it out, locked it on the fob... horn sounds to let me know a window is open but when I turn the barrel a whole rotation? No reply. It's cool to know what they intended to do with it, that's the kind of forethought from the designers...

    Freelander 1 Phone holder ideas?

    When I installed my parrot unit I ended up getting a Brodit holder. It sits behind the Aircon vent in a semi haphazard fashion but it actually doesn't feel like it's aching to fall off. There's not likely enough room between the driver's door and the instrument shroud for an iPad but for my...

    Took the front wheels off and gave the drop links a wiggle, or rather I didn't and they were solid. Must be the wishbone instead then. Little peek at the back right to find that the brake pedal has a new function as a manual water feature.. I agree, fluid looks way better all over the drive. New...

    This morning we went to a garage together, an uncertain fate hanging over it in the wake of the M.O.T renewal. ...Passed first time! Somehow?
