Hi all, I've just installed a new (OEM) prop shaft onto my vehicle. I've been running in 2WD for a couple of weeks but have finally gotten round to putting the new one in place. But now there's a noise, most obvious if just going downhill with no accelerator but also when slowing down as per...

Good evening all. I've got an issue replacing the RH drive shaft/CV shaft on my FL2. I'm replacing the whole thing but I've got an issue that mayor may not be resolved tomorrow. Leaving aside the reliabilty/false economy of using 3rd party parts, here's the issue: The replacement part fits but...

Hi all, whilst swapping onw thing I've managed to mangle the threads on the wishbone ball joint on my FL2. I've seen Euro Parts selling just the ball joint (with nuts and bolts) instaed of the whole wishbone, on which originally the ball joint is riveted in place. Anyone used these or know if...

Hi, can anyone recommend any seat covers for FL2? I'm looking for the stretchy type that end up looking fitted (for want of a better description). Had a set previously from Aldi or Lidl but they got tired and now I can't seem to find any that fit as well. I've tried 2 sets (one in the...

Good afternoon all. I posted a thread previously about a whirring/mechanical noise whilst driving that disappeared when cruising along nicely. I've finally found the time to start to put the tools to work and I've removed the prop shaft. The noise I was experiencing has gone but now many...

Good morning all. My first foray into the world of all things Freelander 2 following a baptism of fire as the owner of a P38. It all ended in tears :) I've now got a 2009 GS diesel. Happy(er) days! My questions of the day however are thus: I have a noise happening when I drive and the revs...

Hi, sadly, due to the unfortunate demise of my P38 at the tender age of 23, I've had to get a new vehicle. So, I have for sale a set of 4 Thule lockable feet that will fit Thule roof bars. There are 2 keys, but you'll need to supply your own bars. I'm after £40 (collected) or I'll post them...

..auf wiedersehen, goodbye. Sadly the time has come where the end of my tether has been reached and I've switched allegiances. I would like to extend my thanks to all of you for your help, and perhaps more importantly your wit, over the last few years. Unfortunately my bank balance has failed...

..the spring steel, grip with pliers, guaranteed to slip and smack a thumb nail originals. Your thoughts please.

Hi all, can the brakes be bled (a la RAVE description/method) using one of those vacuum pump type bleed kits - where you apply a vacuum direct to the bleed point - or does it have to be a pedal-pumped operation?

Evening all, firstly, a big thanks to Druim for his pictorial 'How To' on changing the heater 'O' rings. Did mine with an ever so slight deviation. Secondly, my tip: remove the screw and swap it for one about 5mm or so longer (25mm-ish). I spent an inordinate amount of time getting the hoses...

Hi all, my 1996 4.0 has suddenly got all immobilser fussy. I used to be able to open the car and start the engine no matter how much time had elapsed since the immobiliser was operated. Now it seems that any longer than the time to think "I wonder if it will start" and I have to re-zap (not...

Good evening all. To keep this short I've had to have the heads checked on my 4.0. It's the 2nd time they've been off in 18 months or so but all's well there. They were skimmed last time but only pressure tested this time. However...using my usual bull-in-a-china-shop time management regime...

Hi All, I've got a strange 'fault' that crops up from time to time. Ordinarily, selecting reverse causes no issues, but occasionally when I go from drive to reverse I get an audible warning and the dash displays "ABS FAULT". When I restart the car the 'fault' has disappeared. Any ideas what I...

Hi all, my 1996 4.0SE made me see a ghost the other night. I've only ever known it as a "4.0SE" through paperwork, but the other night, at a certain angle and at a certain distance, I saw the ghost of "4.0SE" on the lower tailgate to the right of the reg plate. If I was to replace these to...

Anyone watched / watching "Braquo"? Its a french cop thing and full of range rovers. Makes the subtitles worth it :-)

...I/we had this one

...that'll be a P38 with an EAS fault warning accompanied by the "don't go over 35mph or very bad things will happen" error display. It's quite surpising how 'good' roads suddenly become harbingers of all manner of bumps, humps and potholes. Still the application of the EAS software closely...

Hi all, if anyone has an LPG conversion where the reducer is on the driver's side of the engine bay can they post a photo up showing where it is mounted to, or message me one please. Mine is on the passenger side and so I have (an exessive) 6ft of water hose that has to make its way behind the...

Hi all, my EAS has been working without a hitch in the 2 years I've had the car. However, since the start of the cold weather I've noticed that it takes a lot longer than normal to reach height/pressure. It gets there eventually but can take 10mins at times. It a;lso seems to lose...
