    Freelander cruise control ???

    I had a right kerfuffle with this when I bought mine a couple of months ago - a dealer had the exact model I wanted in stock but it didnt have cruise control - the salesman told me that all the gubbins were in place and it would cost about £50 to have it retro-fitted - I actually signed on the...

    Side steps

    I got them and have had no probs with them - dont find em slippy as your feet tend to naturally land on the flat bit. I was giging lifts to a load of my drunken mates after the match yesterday and even copious amounts of beer combined with them getting out of 3 door couldnt make em slip over;-)

    Td4 Fuel Consumption - What to Expect

    Thats the strange thing Jerry, in my case, it doesn't!!!!! For some bizarre reason i always get anything from 390 to 410 miles from a tank, whether driving like a nob, pootling along following Discoverys:D , or towing - always the same mileage. Ok its an auto which will have some effect but it...

    Fuel consumption

    wise words I reckon _ Insurance companies will do anything not to pay out on a claim - I even told mine about the Roverron box. I seem to recall the Fiat Panda 4x4's had a switchable system (actually I know rather than recall because, as a rather niave 20year old, I tried switching at about...

    Fuel consumption

    Is it not beyond the wit of man to make a 'switchable' system??? I really dont know what is involved in doing this so feel free to flame me / call a spanner etc. (like anybody on here ever need an invite:D ) Just wondered how easy it would be??

    A few Questions?

    Less than 4 months old - admittedly mileage is a little on the high side at about 7k but it has been like this since new - 4 or 5 pumps on the brake when manoeuvering and the servo runs outta bottle - not normally a problem unless you are trying to park and you have to use the brake more than a...

    A few Questions?

    On a more serious note - do you know of any issues with Freelander brakes fading?? The servo on mine does not seem to have enough bottle to cope after the brakes have been used a couple of times - caught me out yesterday parking on a slop and I actually went into another motor - I have called...
