    Installing an inverter

    Installing an inverter

    Hello All, I have purchase a Streetwise DC to AC 1000w (2000w Peak) inverter to power various items. I was about to install it, but the cable supplied are a joke at only 2 feet long, if that. Ideally I would lake to place the inverter in the boo of a Freelander 1, ideally screwed behind the...

    Freelander 1 Oil Filter Cap Removal Clearence

    Thank for your pics, I will try again next time, maybe a bit more force is the answer. Didn't know you had to clean the pot out, but guess that makes sense to do thinking about it, once cleaned out do you refill with fresh oil to prime it, or just let the engine do it on start up and then...

    Disco 2 Speaker Recommendation

    No Probs :) A pair of Pioneers will be about £20 + fitting if you get them to do it. Its a pretty simple job, just need to remove the interior door card and that's about it. As I mentioned might need mounting bracket and wiring adaptors to, which simply push on to the existing wire to the...

    Disco 2 Speaker Recommendation

    Most speakers are pretty much have the same ohms range. There are some that are different, but the ones found in places like Halfords and road radio are pretty much like any normal car speaker, the shops would advise anyway. If in doubt take one of the old speaker with you. Just make sure that...

    Freelander 1 Oil Filter Cap Removal Clearence

    Hello, Bit of a different question when it comes to oil filters on the Td4 Freelander 1s, as I don't really want the same hassle as last year. Some owners say that the filter housing cap simply unscrews and lifts out with no dramas. Unscrewing the filter is easy, but when it comes to lift it...

    Disco 2 Speaker Recommendation

    I have always liked ones made by Kicker, or for excellent value for money there are Pioneer ones. I would just change them to one of those makes, with the same size speaker that is already in the Discovery.

    Finally got another Land Rover!

    Been reading this with great interest. My brown wire that should be attached to the battery has not been connected for the past couple of years, for some reason. (I did not remove it). However when I connected it the positive terminal, I am pretty sure I saw smoke, coming from it. Since...

    Freelander 1 Which freelander to buy?

    The Mrs has had her TD4 2003 model since May, and we both love it. Though replacing one of the injectors was a bit of a shock as was the crankcase pulley, but other than that all has been really well with just the odd niggly bits that can happen to all cars. It had its MOT in October and sailed...

    Does anyone here go green laning in Norfolk?

    I often go to North Norfolk to see family, and have always wanted to explore the countryside while laning up there. I keep an eye on the topic in case a day out happens while I am up there out and about. Nigel :)
