    My old V6- doing what I built it for.

    I built my old V6 over a couple of years as I was going to do the Britpart Freelander Challenge. However, things quickly overtook me and work dictated I could never get the time off when needed to compete. I sold the V6 as the after spending a good few grand, the autobox started playing up and...

    What would Jesus do??

    Sold my silver Td4 on Ebay. Winning bidder then asked if they could pick it up the end of the month. As it was the beginning of the month I said no. He then said he would give me an extra £100 if I held on to it. Then an earlier potential buyer said he missed the end of the auction and would...

    Crash for Cash

    Yes, as gstuart says, this is a very good point. It's not "hard wired" to my Freelander and can be moved between vehicles.So if I decided to use the Polo (don't ask), I'd have to remove it from the Freelander and vice-versa. That would be a real balls ache if I had to keep removing it just for...

    Aftermarket Steering Wheel

    If you look at both boss , neither one has the canceler in the same position as the Freelander steering wheel when the wheel is at "straight ahead" position .

    Aftermarket Steering Wheel

    Here's the indicator canceler on both the Freelander and MG - although note the MG has Freelander stalks fitted.

    Aftermarket Steering Wheel

    Ok, so here we are. I've bought both a cheap £25 steering wheel boss and an expensive Momo boss.Both are supposed to be for the Mgf/TF. The Momo does not slide down the column enough - although it is supposedly specifically for the Mgf/TF and Rover/MG's like ZT etc. Model number K4928. Now...

    Crash for Cash

    Mondeo could be LR08UPW. The plate is partially obscured by what looks like a taxi license plate. BUT there was nothing else on the car to identify it as a taxi. No phone number, firm name or any radio.

    Crash for Cash

    Police just told me to contact my insurance company who will have their own fraud investigation team so they can look at the footage and share any details with other insurers incase the registrations tally with any claims present or future .

    Crash for Cash

    Was involved in an attempted "crash for cash" scam on my way to work last night.Perry Barr area of north Birmingham. Unfortunately for them, I've seen far too many "crash for cash" videos on the web . Luckily enough I realized what they were up to when they slowed enough to let other traffic...

    Peterborough 14 stand.

    Trust me. I could tell some stories of the type of crap we've endured.But it was at Peterborough when we were threatened with physical violence if we didn't leave the club house while trying to enjoy a pint. We went outside in the end, were crowded by 6 guys ,one of whom seemed to be...

    Peterborough 14 stand.

    Decided not to do either Billing or Peterborough this year after going for the last 6 years. Me and the missus had enough of being isolated amongst the Defender/Disco owners and treated like ****. Trust me, it gets very tedious year upon year being the only Freelander owner in a sea heavily...

Tried re-calibrating but to no avail.Wedged a piece of card between hard top and micro switch and hey presto it worked.Even though I never touched the hard...
