Hello Clutchdust, Your O/S my NS, its not a woofer the space you refer to was used or can be used for a 12dc to 240 AC convertor unit, this was the case in the export model, some were fitted with just a blank box with vent, check out the excessorary in the RR manual and you will see. Regards...

Hello did this one some years ago (removed and replaced the plastic outer only) It took me about a hour to found out how to do this, the mirror section is held in by two interlocking clips, that you can get at this by first placing a screwdriver into the side of the mirror section (side that...

Hello AndyP Please also check your expansion tank, with the top off and the engine running, check to see if you have any gas bubbles comming through the coolant, if so you have more problems than you think. This happened to me radiator went first, then the head started to fail, ended up...

Hello folks, Freelander 1.8 on checking one of the spark plugs today it looks like some loony has overtightened one of the plugs and damaged the thread in the head, The effect is I am only able to tighten to 15 nm ( book says 20 nm) and then if tightning further the plug will go loose again. I...

I asked advice from our Mec department (offshore) the reply I got was 1. Use a high grade coolant (engine ice or equ) (100% fill NO WATER) 2. Monitor coolant temp by fitting a good quality gauge 3. Fill a high quality oil (Magnatec or equ) 4. At the first sign of any changes in engine...

Hello, Dealer reset (costs about 40€) You will have to confirm that you have cleared any faults on the system before you get it reset, again use the site I posted in one of the threads, good fault finding details on this site. Dont get it reset until your happy there is no further faults...

Get the battery charged back up and use the EKA code it should open all doors! sounds like your system has went into super lock! Regards Dutch RR

Hello, The fact that your Range rover does not go down overnight, would indicate that you do not have a leak in the system, the occassional activation of the air compressor is normal. Most of the problems I have had with the P38 and air Suspension have been the pump its self (around about...

Hello folks, With respect to the 1.8 K engine, I note that a latter type of gasket is now used, can any one tell me when this was introduced (was it fitted to any freelanders at a later stage of production (from VIN onwards?) or is it just an after thought after the amount of failures. The...

Hello all, Freelander 1.8 three door, Intermitant Amber light ( once one stays on until ingnition is switched off) Resets after next start and can stay off for days! Brakes do not seem to be binding, happens mostly when running about in low gear (1st) with out HDC on. Regards Dutch RR...

Hello Nick, one other important point, Make shure you get the correct access code just in case the p38 goes into super lock mode (See EKA in the hand book) the 4 digit pin should be written in a small card!!!!! Regards Dutch RR

The term used is super lock; I have had this on several occasions, twice in the UK, parked near Cell sites, and also at airports. There is also the danger (if parked for a long period) month or so at an airport, that the battery can run down (Flat) This is due to the alarm receiver being...

Hello Matt, The impact type was used, sufaces pushed together after 15 min and cooked in the spanish sun ( 45 c +) This lasted about six months, but with the sun out again the front section (plastic air director) has actualy lifted out of position by about 15mm moved by the front dash...

Does any one have advice on how to repair a dash that is starting to lift around the air blower section of the dash. (the one at the front pointing towards the window. Attemps at using Evo stick have failed, is there any solution that can be applied to soften the dash at the curly points...
