Here's the original spare from my vehicle, note the holes between the bolts... Here's the replacement alloys with no little holes...

Just swapped the tacky 18 inch aftermarket alloys for a set of "Freedom" alloys, which I thought were the same as the original ones. (The car is a 2002 registered ES S/Wagon). The bloke drove off with my old wheels and I didn't think to check that the replacements would fit OK, as they're...

You can lock your back window from outside the vehicle by putting the key in the backdoor lock (on the handle) and turning it clockwise... hold it til it reaches the top. no need to start ignition... (pg 48, owner's handbook!)

Can anyone tell me if this CV joint will fit my 2002 td4 Stat Wag? http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/FREELANDER_to_2003/Axle/CV_Joint_-_to_YA999999.html It's the only part no. I can find, but my serial number ends 2A36****. Could do with a quick answer please... I'd like to get one on...

Hi Steve, The bulbs are fine... tested them with an ohmeter and by sticking them across a 12v battery. Just checked again and I can get a very, very dim response from them, but nothing you could read the title of a newspaper by... never mind a map! Looks like a new (or working second hand)...

Will probably be replacing my tyres before winter... Would like some good town and country ones with decent off-road ability, as I do a lot of semi-serious off roading. My wheels are 16 inch rims. What can anyone reccomend and how wide and big can I go with the tyres before it affects the...

Looks/image Availability of parts and advice Size (not too big or small) Economy (TD4) Reasonable off-road ability for class Good on-road manners My missus can get it into the drive!I've had mine under a week, and despite a few niggles, I love it!

Bugger... it's a light I use a lot, so I'll be looking out for a second hand one!

Be careful with that stuff... it eats aluminium engine parts for breakfast!

PS, the cheap GS I mentioned was a TD4... as is the one I bought.

Mad Hat... you don't have to spend £10K on a TD4... depending on the age and spec you want you can get one a lot cheaper at a Landy auction (either BCA or Manheim come recmmended.) For example, I picked up a jet black 2002 ES Station Wagon in immaculate condition last week, with FSH and about...

Got an ES which has the centre light which comes on when you open the door, plus the map-reading lights at either side, but I can't get the map lights to work... Tested the contacts and they have about 5V at them, but the slots seem to be to take the casule type bulbs that are usually in front...

The rear heated screen??

Going to bust the clip off and fill the CV joint boot with axle grease this morning... that should at least set my mind at ease that it' the cv joint... while I've got the car up on ramps, I'll check for the other CV joints and stuff. If only I didn't have this stinking hangover! Rather large...

Just drven it again and there seem to be two clicks... one very quiet one from the nearside front wheel arch and the slightly louder one from the off side front wheel when turning... very puzzled... Please, oh please, don't let it be the IRD on the way out!

Nice one! Thanks... sadly mine's not got one! Can you fit one aftermarket?

Hi again guys, just been looking through the service book of my new aquisition and notice that it has never been in for any recalls. It's a 51 plate TD4 ES station wagon, first reg in feb 2002. Where can i find all the recalls that it should have been in for? I'm sure thare have been one...

Cheers mondo... will have a look when I get in from work.

hi Guys, I've got a pretty subtle clicking noise from under the off-side wheelarch, it gets more noticeable on turning. I feel fairly confident it's the outer CV joint, as the grease has leaked out of the rubber gaiter, however someone has told me that it could be the IRD on it's way out. If...

hi, How do i know if I've got a fuel burning heater attached to my 2002 Freelander 5 door? (Bought from auction, so finding new stuff on it all the time!) It's too warm to try it out! Also, are the wing mirrors heated? It's an ES and they fold in electrically etc. If they are, how do I...
