Looks similar to the "Nokia" one with the connector at the bottom of the holder or for a generic holder try the "Bury" range of car kits. Some have usb ports to charge up generic phones too.

Have you replace any of your anti roll bar drop links.. I found this exact problem on a friends FL1 only last week... the problem ended up being the wrong drop link on the noisy side was fitted. (There are two different lengths). It ended up ripping the cr4p out of his ARB bushes too.

I see where you are coming from....but.... I quite like the part on the wings and arches.... but dread the door panel. The thing is..... I find the Hippo a bit...... well...... basic looking..... and before you ask "why did you get one then" - please read my profile.

Interesting comment Bukko. Intrigued to know why I would regret it though? Especially if I fit it sikkaflex-ing the parts on to form a seal so water cannot get behind it.

ah..... and that answers the question guys.... because the door ribs are one peice and not individual... I will have to go black... otherwise, i will have a silver panel in the middle of the door...... unless the individual strips on rimmer will match up nicely.

This one.... the three ribs on the door are "one-piece" and to be honest... if it isn't genuine LR (even though all the part no's are there) - I don't really care!

lol - I should do the RR Sport in Pink.... or at least rip out the front seats so people can actually sit in it without thinking they are sitting on concrete blocks! (yup.... the seats are solid on this..... why landrover put hard seats in a new RR I will never know!).

hmmm.... Pink..... - lol... Nope! but thanks for your contribution.

Yup... the only car I have without one now...... after all... the missus will probably end up driving it..... as I said... "probably"

Ok... the opinions aren't "are they 5h1t" or are they good... lol I'm toying with.... The 3door Commercial (removable hardtop styleee) is black... I have Alloys for it..... I have headlight grilles for it.... but.... I'm thinking of painting the entire kit silver to give a contrast look to the...

The one I'm rebuilding is a Special Vehicle.... but a 2003-53plate - 2owners from new... but the mileage is almost "starship" mileage...

I'm looking for a donor - not much cash to spare due to being scammed by some scumbag...... anyway.. My profile has the entire story - explaining why I haven't got much cash to spare and why I'm repairing a freelander 1 (commercial as is happens)

Any chance of some under bonnet photos? - Especially the front (radiator facing) side of the gearbox, and the bulkhead next to the brake fluid reservoir?

Why not drink the fuel by sucking on the feed pipe, and pee in a fuel container! although... Diesel has been blamed for causing my Dads Bladder cancer...... - so PLEASE DONT DRINK THE STUFF!

Or (Dave)..... maybe the GETRAG box has been ripped out and a PG1 fitted and Converted.. I think the PG1 can be converted as the arm goes outside the bell housing, but the GETRAG box.... my god... how much modifcation would be needed. Maybe.... Single Mass Flywheel as Dave says, but Cable clutch...

I'd be interested to know what engine he did the conversion on, and the gearbox type. I think it's possible on some Hippos, but not on the GETRAG gearbox. (without other engineering . ally welding etc.) Personally...... I would go cable over hydraulic anytime... as long as the lever is at a...

The answer isn't much use to you I'm afraid, but. ... depends? Why was it removed in the first place? Was the IRD goosed on the output? Did the differential suffer damage because of the VCU? You might fit it all and be ok... you might fit it and the rear diff bushes are the only reason it was...

Some people swear that it give more MPG - I don't know..... some complain that they can't hold the front end... again I don't know.... should you run mondo or 4x4??? I would say why run a car in a mode if isn't designed to do. If it helps.... I posted something about buying a second hand one...

and the VCU..... I now have two good ones..... but going to keep a spare "just in case" - for £80..... who wouldn't?
