Hi all, Thinking of getting me sen some side steps for my freelander but not sure whether to go for black or stainless?? Im not sure which would look better, so if anyone can do me a big favour and put a picture on here of either their own or someone elses, CHAMPAGNE coloured freebie with...

That was the idea, however funds are tight(as mentioned in original post) due to holiday season(plus time off work with a knee op hence basic sick pay!) i just wanted it to put me on in meantime. Anyway, its almost perfect, used nail polish remover(she doesnt know its all gone yet :eek: ) and a...

Hi everyone, No major problem but just wondered if anybody knows whats the best method to remove the annoying advertising writing on the back of spare wheel cover?? I was going to get a new lockable one when moneys a bit less tight (after hols) and in the meantime me mate...

yes the abs light staying on is normal, (well it does on mine so hope so) think it goes out soon as you hit 5mph.

It was a oil leak, due to the seal on the transfer box breaking. When the bloke at local garage,(Ex-LR mechanic came Highly recommended from a mechanic who i know.) took a look, a bearing(i think) on the prop shaft(again i think! not very clued up on mechanic side of things!) had bust coz it...

Hello all (again), Well after initial joy and happiness of buying my freelander last week, i am starting to notice a few problems.One of which is a couple of leaks underneath.:( One is about a foot inwards from the rear,pretty central (think its diesel) and the other is a...

Bit of a daft question, but for someone who used to just buy the cheapest available for my previous cars, was wondering if anybody can recommend a decent type of engine oil??? (for a 2001 td4) :confused: Cheers

Looks quality pal, hairdresser or not!!!!

Hi there, sorry no advice, but, i am in the same boat just bought 2001 td4 at wkd and only happens (not all the time)when i hit 70mph,i.e. on motorway,no problems whatsoever on normal roads at speeds up to 60mph. Even with foot flat down on accelerator it just wont budge until it...

Hello all, Was wondering if any of you would NOT buy a td4 with 100,000 miles on clock.Its a 2001 FLRSH, good condition and just had a new transfer box fitted. Although no-one has a crystal ball, does anyone know what potential/likely problems I should expect from a plus 100,000 td4...

Hello All, Just in process of buying a freelander and a 2000reg td4 (es) has caught my eye at what seems like a very reasonable price. However, the seller has pointed out a couple of problems, one being the clutch could be on its way out and might need replacing and the central...
