Assuming winter is November till April, thats 6 months usage. Towing in the summer (June to August) another 3 months. I don't see a problem. More important if laid up in the winter I agree. I always remove the wheels and use winter wheels when laying up the touring caravan. Stationary tyres and...

I was just about to ask the same question....good job I did a search first. The only difference I have is that it is intermittent. Sometimes the drivers door opens on the first press of the fob, but mostly needs two presses to unlock all doors. Surely, if it's a failed solenoid, it wouldn't...

As I understand it, they are permanent 4 wheel drive...there is no "switch over". The VCU detects difference in speed rotaion of the front and rear prop shaft. If a front wheel spins the VCU transfers extra torque to the rear prop shaft to compensate. But there is no 2 wheel drive mode, unless...

Same here....can't use mi real name anywhere. I'm new misen, and from Yorkshire so just had to say Hi. Oh...and just got mi first Landy...a Freelander, and don't give a toss what they say about'em. I love it. :welcome2:

Brake lights sorted. A long story cut short..... Decided to give her a Service with the help of a good friend and fellow Freelander owner. Oil change, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter. Brakes cleaned and checked, and a new battery. Problem....wouldn't turn over after battery change. Assumed...

Glow plugs sorted it...........:)

But that would be boring. Most faults will have been discussed before I'm sure...meaning everyone searching and now't for you to read. :)

First thing is to change your garage....any good landrover garage should know what it is. It's the Hill Descent Control.....have you got it switched on? The light on the dash will flash (green) if you switched it on as a warning that it is on. The light stays a constant green light when...

I've tackled it in reverse order....stuck the beefy battery on (Bosch Silver from Halfords). Still not right. Glow plugs tomorrow. Will report back.

Thanks guys. Once Christmas is over and the snow shifts I'll check it out. I've been Googling for spare parts. Where do you guys get your parts from?

Please don't tell me to search for the 3 Amigo's. I've done that and not found anyone with the exact same problem. I've been searching for hours. This new to me 1999 Freelander 2.0 XE Di Hardback has this light constantly on. The orange HDC light is constantly on....indicating a fault in the...

Finally got hold of my Freelander today. My first 4x4. Ok, it has a few problems need sorting, but I'm sure they can be sorted. Our lovely Yorkshire weather chucked down a couple of inches of snow as I needed to go shopping, but Hey I have a Landy now. Living at the top of a hill, no which...

Just about. :)

Oh bugger! I've bought it, but ain't got it yet. Photo's will follow as and when I get it. If I'm still here like.

Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome Lochen. Just joined this happy bunch misen, and still waiting to get my hands on my freelander. Best advice is ignore the slagging..and enjoy it...when you get it like.:)

I bought mine..............:)

Another newbie here...just bought mi first Landrover, and will be collecting it next week. I've been having a read of your forum and decided it's time to join. I might just need some advice once I get it. I've noted the "gaylander" comments re the Freelander. Also the "Dissapointed in your...
