Just found a 5 door overhead light on Ebay 140016065145, might be worth a look. Steve :)

Have you tested the bulbs to see if the ones in there at present are blown? And are there any markings on the bulbs that might give a clue to their voltage? You could run a 12v bulb on 5v supply it should just be half as bright, which might be a design feature meaning the bulb wasn't as hot...

Is the engine temperature ok, because my MGF went like that before the HG eventually went. The first few times nothing boiled over, the engine just ran rough before cutting out, but the temperature gauge was a lot higher than it should of been. The next time it boiled over and after the HG went...

Well I have only had my TD4 for just over a week but there are quite a few things i like about it when compared to my 2 previous cars that were mid engined 2 seater sports types. Great driving position, very comfortable seats, you dont feel every ripple in the road, visibility of trhe road is...

Well last night because the motorway was very quiet I had a play with 5th gear roll on. However, beacuse I was in the Hippo by myself I didn't actually time the results. 50 - 70 would need a watch with a second hand 70 - 80 still need a watch with a second hand 80 - 90 maybe a minute hand...

I'm not coming into work in that leather mini skirt and high heels again just because you want a race :p . Any racing in the car park will be done wearing manly attire. Steve :)

Have you thought about one of the carpet cleaners you can hire from some large DIY outlets. You can use various cleaning solutions in them so there might be one for breaking down the oil and then the cleaner would suck all the waste up leaving the carpets dry. Might take a few applications...

Now this post sounds very interesting and anything to save money :D. A 25% mix would save about 15ltrs per tank full on my TD4 which is about £15 per fill at todays prices for diesel and for the miles per year I expect to do would work out at over £250 saved. What type of filter is the...

Why do all the nice toys cost so many pennies :( Steve :)

I checked out Rons very informative site today and read about the problems that the boxes will overcome and the performance benifits available once one is plugged in. My TD4 has about 45k on the clock and seems to run ok with none of the problems I have read about caused by faulty sensors...

I thought there might be more to it than the obvious. I know on my Honda GL1500 the electronic cruise control seemed to link into everything. Steve :)

Thanks for all the information. Unfortunately I don't have a garage, so no worries on that point. I don't think I have a heated front screen, is there anything obvious that shows it is a heated screen? Steve :)

I had a bit of a Freelander guru look round my new toy today and after looking under the front passenger side wheel well announced "you lucky b******* you have a preheater" and I replied "and it does what". Nothing is mentioned about such a device in the book of all that is good that came with...

Does anyone know if the wires and engine parts are fitted to the Freelander as standard for the cruise control facility. I quite fancy having it on my new vehicle and if its just a case of removing the switch blanks and connecting the dashboard and steering wheel switches I can't see it being...

Well if you dont fancy draining your coolant twice, you could measure the pipe in situ, taking note of the angle and direction of bends, measure the outside diameter of the pipe, draw a template from that and see if you know a friendly plumber and get them to make you a pipe. I would have it...

If your going to make one, take the original off and draw round it then you have a template. Fit the original back giving you the template to work off in your own time. If the pipe requires flanges to fit into the flexible hoses these can be made by soldering standard copper pipe joints. Good...

I just wasn't holding the button down long enough. Thanks for the advice and its all sorted now. Steve :)

Hi All I have just bought a Freelander TD4 ES :D and want to re-tune the radio. I have tried some of the obvious ways and nothing would appear to stick in the preset station storage. Does anyone know what the procedure is for storing new selections on the presets? Regards Steve :)
