I was starting to clean my freebie this morning when I discovered 2 cables that seemingly go nowhere. The first was under the front seats: The second was under the glovebox: Anyone know where these are meant to go? 2001 FL1 GS petrol K series

That's the one, thanks very much :)

I remember reading a thread some time ago about one or two people modifying the clock space to show different information, but I'll be buggered if I can find it now. Does anyone else remember it, or know which one it was?

You guys give so much time and knowledge freely in this forum, and its helped me so many times. It's only fair I give back when I can. :)

Replaced the inlet manifold as the old one split. Also created a "how to" thread here.

I did it, with the judicious application of a brand new socket set :) Write up coming imminently...

Cheers Nodge, I hoped that was the only one. I appreciate your help :)

Hi I have just purchased a NOS inlet manifold for my 1.8 petrol as the old one is badly split. It just comes on its own with no other parts. Do I just replace the blue rubber gasket, or are there more parts I need to order to do it properly? I've not taken the old one off yet, so I'm not...

So I had a dalliance with a Range Rover Vogue. It's well documented in the RR forum here. I bought it off probably the most trustworthy guy there, and he had looked after it well, with everything he did meticulously posted in detailed threads. I had money to throw at it, and believe me, I...

Hi everyone I don't have the tools (or space) to remove the undertray, so I can't do this myself... Roughly how much should I be paying to replace the inlet manifold gasket, and the gasket on the pre-cat at the front of the exhaust? I've already got the parts, and I wanted to do it myself...

Hi Andy Sorry, I'll say in advance this probably won't go anywhere, as I'm not sure if I want to do the job, but how much is the engine, and what mileage is it on please? Cheers Ian

Thank god! Deffo no oil in coolant, or vice versa. Will take a look at the guide now :)

I was really hoping no one would mention those two words...

+1 When it worked, I absolutely loved it, but when it didn't I absolutely hated it. There were times when I wanted to take my shotgun and shoot the crap out of it, but then I'd get it fixed and all was forgiven. If I lived where I do now, I'd have kept her and thrown a recon engine into it...

No worries Ant, I trusted your judgement when I bought it, and still do now. I've never had any seller go over a car and its history with as much detail as you did, which is why I was more than happy to pay your asking price - something I've never done in 20+ years of car ownership. The scene...

It was a snapped crank after all. I sold it to Pinewood Studios for use in the latest James Bond film, but that was delayed and it was blown up in the last Fast and Furious instead. The mechanics at the special effects place removed the engine to fit the pyrotechnics and they sent me a pic of...

My 2001 Freebie has developed white smoke from inside the exhaust heat shield at the front of the engine. It's very noticeable, but for some reason won't show in photos. I've taken off the heatshield and shoved an endoscope down there but can't find the source. Definitely an exhaust smell to...

Sorry no-one replied way back then, but your own answer really helped me diagnose a problem, so I appreciate it! :)
