You don't say which window? You can cut the wires, make sure the glass doesn't fall down though.

lol, fun project within the project.

I've just ordered a couple of Hifly Super2000 tyres for my (2WD) F1. I'm sure the guy said $77.40 each - which equates to £35! I'll see when the invoice comes in. Should get the tyres this afternoon and I'll fit them tomorrow. At that price it seams stupid not to replace all 4 - but the...

Mine's the opposite, always buys the parts for me in advance.... bucket, sponge etc.

What does diagnostics say? If there's some error codes, it'll most likely point you in the right direction.

+1 On the bright side, at least you won't have a hose pipe ban.

Apart from the starter issue, that you look to have covered having proved the voltage in the wire can control a relay, you look to be down to 'regular' mechanical issues. Pretty good position to have got yourself into :cool:

Do these lights come on on a self test. When I get in my F2, I put the key/fob in the reseptical, foot on brake, press the start button and it fires up. I'm not sure if it does a self test on the bulbs. I just did a test. I put the fob in and pressed the start button. This puts the car into...

Welcome to LZ. I can't help you on this, but good on you for jumping in and having a go. Hope someone can help and you get it sorted quickly.

Presumably you know the light doesn't come on because of the startup tests when all the lights are lit. Has someone butchered the LED to get it through a MOT? Will it fail a MOT if it does not illuminate on the self test? In doing that took out the oil LED, or butchered that to because it has...

After you have polished up the lenses, spray them with a UV protector or they'll cloud up again quickly. Either that or the car parts shops here sell snake oil.

I'm sure there are ICEs that make the Freelander feel slow. And there will be ICEs and EVs that make the Freelander seem fast.

Is this a common thing on F2?

IIRC there are 2 parts to immobilisation 1 is cranking the other is fuel injection. The car's immobiliser (or IIRC the CCU dependent of age) handshakes with the engine ECU and they determine if immobilisation should occur. The immobiliser controls cranking by giving an earth to the starter...

The heater control illumination is not just a case of replacing knobs I don't think. Hasn't been discussed for ages I don't think, but there are threads about it. I remember threads about it when I got the F1, but didn't fix it at the time. So start searching from about 2010 :rolleyes:

What ever you do - remove the inside cover on the door before closing it. If you manage to close it, but then can't open it again, you'll be cursing if you don't. I agree, you are almost certainly up for a new regulator (motor, wires and runners). Its a lot easier and more reliable fix than...

Quite coincidental this because I used the manual gear selection in my F2 for the first time this weekend. We went over a pass where plenty of vehicles burn their brakes out by the time they've got to the bottom. I was using it to brake rather than accelerate, but it worked a treat. When we...

If the timing was out, wouldn't it still fire the injectors?

I think the OP must have a particularly dodgy backbox. Cos when there's a major accident, the backboxes are always found intact and sent away to find out what went wrong.
