    soundproofing freelanders

    To make interior of Freelanders quieter: 1) Remove factory carpet and all trim (big job). 2) Silentcoat/Dynamat entire floor and inside all doors and tailgate yourself (bigger job). 3) Closed cell foam (Fire rated) on top of that. 4) Refit factory carpets on top and get all trim to fit neatly...

    Trouble with double din adapter (pics).

    Thank you to everyone for all of your feedback. Filing the dash pegs (or cutting slot in the dash kit), I hadn't thought of that so a great idea. I needed your superior wisdom and can now try and get to the next step. Cheers.

    Trouble with double din adapter (pics).

    Hi. So I'm trying to fit new ICE into my car, but can't begin before starting off with removing the old head-unit. So I did that and got a new fancy one. Before I fit this, I've got to fit the obligatory double din adapter. So I recently purchased a 'Connects2' double din kit for my 2004...

    Water coming in from ceiling into boot (Pics)

    Considering selling up :(

    Tiercel for an accurate market price, try New & Used Cars, UK Car Dealers | Parkers. If you pay £3.50 (Premium), they'll give you the 'book' price, or near as dammit, where you can add all the options you car has, and adjust for miles etc. Land Rover Freelander Station Wagon (03-06) used car...

    sill protection

    Sorry for the rushed drawings, but I think you can get the idea of how it might look.

    sill protection

    Thanks for the info that I didn't order the wrong size. So it's just not a good fit then. :p Here's a quick 2 min drawing of how it could look (3 versions in style) if we could find someone to make us a job lot of chequer plate to extend the Mantec sill protector. The problem is I reckon, how...

    sill protection

    I got a new pair (nearly half price) of Mantec Sill protectors fitted by a LR specialist, which was lucky as they said it was a bit of hassle to fit them as the 'fit' is not that good. E.g. the top horizontal plane (left to right) under the doors needs to be filled in further, e.g. 'sealed' as...

    Water coming in from ceiling into boot (Pics)

    Hi. We've all seen water in the boot before, but now I've got water in more areas than a south downs millionaires country homes. *Water in ceiling. *Water in Toolbox/under compartment lid. *Main boot damp (hidden by thick boot carpet so didn't know). *Passenger foot well behind driver damp...

    Seat Upgrade To All Leather

    Looks great. I want to do this on my Mk1 facelift with some leather door card inserts too but can't find a rear seat with an arm rest, which seems hard to find. The contrast stitching is great and the quilted centre reminds me of a custom Defender project. Thanks for sharing.

    Flooded tool box under the rear floor

    RE: Lifting the boot carpet up, and seeing a poor fit around the seam of the tool box, and sticking a hose underneath to check for leaks. If there is a leak spotted with the hose.... As it doesn't rain under the car, is the scientific answer that the car interior is warmer than the outside...

    Custom Roof Rack

    How about something like the brown church rack with as low profile as possible so we can still get under car park barriers even with a 2'' lift with extra tall AT tyres. That seems the beauty of the low profile version of the safety devices rack, now obsolete.

    power fold mirrors on keyfob

    Hi matt1295. I have my door cards off at the moment, and the plastic lining is cut away to get at the inside, so can take photos if required? Also the door sill trims are off where the driver/passenger foot-well is so lots of wires are visible as i'm trying to do something else, which when I...

    Snowmobiles

    I've got Michelin Latitude Alpine 215/65/R16 snow tyres mounted on their own wheels in winter, but they cost a fortune to buy. I only got them due to the stock LR Continental Conti 4X4 M&S sucking and regretting it big time in an emergency, when admittedly, we had rather extreme snow. (I'd...

    Reversing Cameras

    You don't have to agree with me, but why the need for that introductory snide remark? I explained that cameras are useful for the disabled and elderly after their dismissal as totally useless , and you respond and say I write a '500 page novel'.

    Rear plate size?

    You can also fit a conventional rear number plate (shape size) to the back! This might look good if you're into vehicle modding. Good as in different, not good per se. You could 'shave' the rear tailgate and badges (remove the plastic trim at the bottom of the door on the MK1 facelift), fill...

    Reversing Cameras

    Maps worked fine since 2000bc, and yet now most have Sat Nav and not all are lazy or idiots, some scenarios technology is necessary. Reversing cameras are useful for situations such as car parks and heavily built up areas where trying to park in confined spaces requires quite a high degree of...

    Mechanically possible to make Freelander a 'real' 4X4?

    As was jovially quipped to me the other day, a Freelander is a 4x2 not a 4X4. This is indeed true, until the wheels spin, and in comes the 4X4 'all wheel drive' if the previous seller hasn't taken the prop shaft out. :D So, if during wheelspin a Freelander is a 'real' 50/50 split 4x4, is it...

    Sad i know but??

    Looks good, better than stock and cheaper than buying a 'wood' rimmed Freelander wheel.

    Td4 Auto Battery Choice

    Hi, I've had a Bosch S4 008 (74 Ah/680 cranking amps) fitted which has a 4 year warranty. I don't know if its equal/inferior/superior to the stock batteries fitted to a MK1 Freelander. It looks less powerful than the one you've listed. There's a thread about winter batteries here, one...
