Yea that looks the right one. Videoman pm me your address to post cheque to unless you have paypal. Dont suppose its got the orings with it, basically rubber (i think) washers each end?

Nice one videoman. Pm me when you're sorted. Also if you have a dryer that Nodge is going on about above then that'll be great. Xreg 2000 onwards.

Great, thanks! No honestly thanks for the info Nodge,as always, but is that a definite or a maybe?

Very kind of you sir! And yes, it's basically everything within that no:7 diagram. The whole hose/pipe is a bendy 18" long roughly. Not sure I need the o rings too but if you've got them then great. :) eta....actually the wider part of the pipe is black hose as pictured.

Ok so next job on my never ending freebie (x reg ES late 2000) jobs is my knackered cracked aircon pipe. Looking down at the left of rad, looks like it's made of ally and from what the sticker says it's part no:JUF000130 which kind of matches up with the pic below. Are there any suppliers out...

I'm not buying it the op is! Must say though at a few hundred quid I say buy it, have a bit of fun with it,run it into the ground then break it up or sell it as spares/repair and earn your money back and more.

I'm too scared to admit the amount of time I've spent reading threads on this forum since buying my first Freelander a couple of months ago but I can safely say one of things I've read over and over again is that HGF can and will happen at any time whatsoever! I've also learnt that HGF has...

Give or take a few quid yes you did if it's diesel. If not then its about fair on both sides imo.

I very much doubt I will, I'll still be obsessing and dreaming of PEL500150''s!!!!

Ok, so it looks like they all do the same job and it's just Haynes cashing in bringing more manuals out for the same older models and including newer models as time goes on.

Actually I've just been looking at the ebay haynes manuals myself. There seems to be a red one which covers 97-02 and a blue one which covers 97-06.

Not an expert but I'm guessing most people looking at Freelanders are looking because they are 4wd. Having said that a spruced up nice looker will still probably go for about a £1000 on ebay, just because they look good 4wd or not.

Ok thanks for that. So if mine has the original hg in without hg mods the new up to date thermo mod won't clash and become confused and vice versa.

Just had a thought before I go any further. Reading that mod bulletin it looks a bit like the thermo mod has to be done at the same time as the hg mods are done?

Excellent, thanks very much for everyones input and no more questions for now! I'll post an update once RCV have seen the car in person and whether they then fit the new one or not and of course the end result.

Yep, so RCV are wrong for whatever reason. I'm guessing they checked the vin and assumed rather than checking the reg number, if anyone can check history/recalls/mods by a reg number.

Well I thought it was the end of the thread but this doesn't add up. Either my reg doc is messed up or my Freebie isnt as straight as I thought it was. Its Vin starts with 1A58 and it was first registered on the 29/09/2000.

Thanks, end of thread!

That's what I'm now thinking but according to the picture I posted on page one it hasn't got it.

Funnily enough when I spoke to RCV I'm sure it was actually Dave that told me it had some sort of standard mod ever since the vehicle was produced. So who knows more Dave or us!? Freelaner, I'm in Kent near Sevenoaks.
