    Does the engine management light come on when you are having problems? Sounds like you are going into limp mode.

    Difficult to engage low ratio

    We got a brand new 110 in the work and its sometimes difficult to put it into low ratio. Is there a trick to this?

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    I pressure washed my landy today then swiftly cracked one off on the bunnet. Best day off i have had in ages. Tomorrow I think I will sit on the gear stick and possibly a quick trip to the local dogging spot.

    Odd ticking noise from offside front on turning right.

    Odd ticking noise from offside front on turning right.

    This really has got me "ticked off". When I turn right I get an odd ticking noise from the front passenger side wheel area. Its not loud and I only noticed it when the warmer weather came in and I had the window down. I've checked the tyre treds for a stone or nail or something but they are...

    Good positive things about freelanders....

    I have a 56 plate TD4 and although it takes a wee bit of maintenance I love it to bits.

    Purchase of an original 1972 2-door range rover

    Red. Everyone knows red cars are faster. Also ... when you look at that 1972 Range Rover its design hasnt changed much over the years has it? Utterly iconic.

    Winch or new Intercooler?

    Sell the pig and the defender. Buy yourself a nice Freelander and welcome yourself to the 21st century.

    Help with 110 leaning to offside

    Is the pig sitting in the middle or to one side? If its sitting on the same side that you think is a bit low then try moving it to the other side. Pigs are heavy remember.
