    Good kit to add to a Freebie to take it off road...

    hehehe I was thinking spacers mainly, to increase stablity, both off road and on it! Lift kits, seem to be more work then the result rewards you for a Freebie. :(Snorkel, well I wasn't thinking of crossing any rivers to be honest.:eek: For that sort of playing I'd get a 90.:cool: Maybe a Disco!

    Good kit to add to a Freebie to take it off road...

    Hi all, Sorry no I'm not offering a list of items you could consider to add to a Freebie to go play in the mud. I'm asking if anyone has any suggesrions for stuff to install to allow a Freebie to go off road and well lets be honest give it a chance to redeem itself to other 'mud slugs!'...

    Freelander will not start since replacing the inlet manifold gasket

    :praise: LOL! :D It really was one of them 'you gotta be kidding me' moments. After checking and double checking this or that connections, following this or that wire to its end, bell tests and a few grazed knuckles...a very sensative cut off switch was giving me a head ache! Its been...

    Thanks to who offered suggestions! The Freebie is working and runs as smooth as it ever did! :5bparty: :5blurk5: :5bhurray: The fault!!! Inertia switch was tripping every time time I closed the bonnet, or stuck my head in that part of the engine bay...

    Do you regret buying a Freelander?

    Mine was brought to replace a dead 110, not a happy situation, but a 4x4 was needed, and the FL was cheap enough. The plan was to keep it whilst I sourced a new Defender....2 years later, the FL has been good, well behaved! Can't complain about it really it's never let me down ...till now...

    Freelander will not start since replacing the inlet manifold gasket

    Hello freebiker, Looking at the cables under the inlet manifold there are more than a few to check. I'm working through them so far they seem ok, clean, and a good solid click when I reconnet them. However, the battery if flat again, so it's on change for now, one thing that I'm really not...

    The LED stops flashing as soon as I unlock the car via the remote! Seems fine, in all its operations, but then again so does everything else, bar the odd lock actions and not starting!:o I'll get the EKA code and try that ...maybe tomorrow.. one thing my friend pointed out were a bunch...

    Hoyt-Protec, I cheated, I've just swapped the battery for another and tried the lock sequance......no change! Hi Vissie, I'm no Freebie fanatic so I'm guessing you mean the 'button thing'y' under the bonnet? top right corner of the engine bay? Yes, I have, no change! It stuck on me...

    Hi Teddy, The inlet manifold join is poor on these things, I had massive water loss, a prime symptom of an inlet leak it it also the easiest and cheapest fix. (£2.00 v £100) So I dropped the oil as it was old to see if it was milky etc, it wasn't, so after getting a new head set (bolts...

    Ok, will do when the battery is charged up! God I wish I still had the 110! Much easier to solve!

    Freelander will not start since replacing the inlet manifold gasket

    Hi all, First post and I'm asking for some help please? My '99 FL started to loose water, and after checking the engine over replaced the inlet manifold gasket! I changed the oil, may as well it was on the old side. Put it all back to gether again, and now it will not start!:eek: If I...
