    lock barrels

    Evening All, I'm usually lurking on the Freelander forum, but I have a Defender question! My lad has a Defender 110 TD5 special vehicle ops ex military police (so he was told, it has the svo plate), all the door locks have different keys, which is a pain in the backside. Dad (me) buys what were...

    Suspension lift: impact on re-sale value?

    "How many people are out to buy a 17+ year old car these days? Answer almost none..." Me...:p I'd say go for it Rob. From what I've seen over the past week looking for a hippo in my very low budget they all seem to be a similar price unless it's a spares or repair (and some of those are...

I've been doing plenty of research today (also known as skiving at work!) so I'm pretty sure I...

    cd player

    Hi All, Newish member, I joined for info on Defenders as my son has just bought one! I've been nosing at Freelanders since, I don't have a huge amount of cash to spend on one (ie about £1000 perhaps a bit more) and I would ideally like a facelift version - yes I'm picky! A 'project' is going to...

    New lurker!

    Hello All, New member from Staffordshire. I don't actually own a Land Rover, despite wanting one for about 40 years (I'm old!), I failed my car test a long time ago passed my bike test a week later and never bothered with a car test again! My 19 year old son has just bought a 2001 Defender 110...
