    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Now that I'm fully committed to the FL2 I'm exploring some of the items inside. Today I've been looking at the USB port. I took a spare I had around, empty, and put some MP4 files on it. It then said it failed to read device. Brought it back to my PC which called me FAT. So a few options to...

    Said goodbye to it. The 1, that was. It's now gone on to someone new

    I wonder how far away an instrument pack read/writer is from this

    Freelander 1 Being that it's up for sale I decided I'd be responsible and try it before it goes away with someone. It rewarded me by binding the calipers and broke the pipe. Today, it got a new pipe and a fresh caliper. Nice brakes! Ready to go ...again. Freelander 2 Having now retrieved it...

    LR were kind enough to retrieve the keys to the FL1 for me when I've left them in the FL2 (Still getting repaired) So I tried it, dead vehicle. Battery out after I pulled hard on the clamp that seemed stuck in place - using the battery itself. Recharged overnight. Battery back in, starts up...

    It was the radiator

    Went to drop it off for the MOT and it starts off by... Dumping coolant everywhere on their nice floor. I'm really, really hoping it's not the radiator

    Went to work and discovered the boot latch is unlocking itself. Repeatedly. Strange formation of water in the boot

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    We had a big day out, I needed 3 hours continuous running to update the maps in the navigation suite. Here's how that went; Set off, started update. We'll need 02:47:00 to complete the update. I'd read that if you turn the car off during this, you brick the navigation. So I got a bit nervous...

    It kept crying about low coolant so I fed it some as a treat Which seems weird since I had it serviced at LR in August. Did they not look at it? It was below minimum

    That's unfortunate, the nonexistent system has; a charging system fault, a gearbox fault, an engine temperature indication fault, stability control is not available for the nonexistent infotainment, and a park brake fault Why would they put that in the menu 😂

    Just been out with Hawkeye, seems it doesn't like me looking in there. If I clear all DTC codes and start the car, it's fine. If I try and access say.. infotainment, it starts throwing up all kinds of errors on the car itself and hawkeye says "Control unit not found". Clear them again, start...

    FL2 glovebox

    So I blew a fuse doing mine recently, you may not need to remove the glovebox. Get down into the passenger footwell, there's a cover at the back under there. You should be able to push two tabs in and rotate the panel out, unveiling some of the fusebox and the fusebox diagram on the back If...

    Bulbs replaced: 8 Fuses blown: 1 Front headlight guards to fit but it's raining I did notice there's a glovebox illumination bulb right behind the latch but it's such a thin space I don't think an LED would fit Now I ponder on whether I can replace the silver front grille with a black one...

    Learned how to crimp this weekend, so naturally that was a trip to Halfords for the tool followed by toolstation when I messed up one of the connectors. Worth the time, the right one wasn't working at all before
