    Don't suppose you have a black tailgate trim for a FL1? Do you have many other parts? Just started doing up a FL1 given to me for my son (first car!) thanks

    Freelander 1 Keys locked inside :(

    Neat trick re jumping the ignition. Re the deadlocks. didn't know that but in my case it would still be useful as the keys and fob were inside, and you can climb in the sunroof

    Freelander 1 Keys locked inside :(

    Ah, no worries, grateful for the attempts to help! Turns out if very careful the sunroof is a lot more insecure than it looks. Worth knowing for future!

    Nodge you're a star thank you. I was doing your procedure when my son managed to pop the sunroof up without breaking anything so we are in. Phew! Great tip re crash sensor, will store that idea for next time! Thanks very much everyone.

    Freelander 1 Keys locked inside :(

    That's a good start thanks! However I think the rear window motor is rusted out or faulty. There's a bit more to the story... The friend who gave me it gave me another FL key and fob which he found at home (he has had tons of landys). he wasn't sure if its for this vehicle or not. The key works...

    PS - Of COURSE only last year I cancelled AA membership after what must be 20+ years of membership without a call out, hard times forced me to pull the plug. Someone told me they can break in somehow, IF I was still a member of course!

    Freelander 1 Keys locked inside :(

    A friend of mine gave me a 55 plate Freelander TD4 yesterday for my son to learn to drive in. It has been standing a couple of years so needs work but worth putting some time and money into as it's not had a bad life apart from being neglected recently. Got it home, parked it, put keys on dash...

    Disco 2 Advice needed on supporting body while replacing chassis!

    Thanks very much, really useful this. I need to keep the time span as short as possible when fitting as it will be taking up his whole garage/ramp until its done. I may ping you with a PM if i get stuck, if thats ok!

    Disco 2 Advice needed on supporting body while replacing chassis!

    Thanks Frosty, very useful info there. I am hoping to avoid cutting holes in floor, removing seats etc. There looks like 2-3" of space to get welder in, slowly and carefully. Hope so anyway. Will print off your diagrams and have a good look before we start. PS We haven't decided whether to do...

    Disco 2 Advice needed on supporting body while replacing chassis!

    Yep it's a 2 poster. Body can't come off the chassis, we are cutting the chassis and welding on new rear half. Thats kinda the problem, otherwise could just lift it all off but front end will remain attached to chassis.

    Disco 2 Advice needed on supporting body while replacing chassis!

    Thanks Stan. To be honest the 'how' to fit isn't so much the problem, the smaller details such as mounting and unmounting bits will be ok once we work out how to actually do the chassis. I think our best plan of attack at the moment is to do it with the car on floor rather than up on ramp (which...

    Howdy all. Well my 'half chassis' (bit more than half) is coming next week for my D2. It's 2200 mm long to replace the rear end of my old chassis, from Dixon Fabrication (https://dixonfabrication.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=87_92_137&product_id=169) My mechanic has replaced...

    Daves D2 TD5 Project

    Thanks, sorry I missed the bit about Braith Speed. That looks reasonable. Mine is still on airbags yep. It might just be the perspective/angle of the photos, never had any comments about it being particularly low, its same as any other disco I have owned or used. here's another pic
