Steve Thanks very much for informative postings, you certainly have given a great insiders view of what is going on in the trade. I am going to have to take another look at what my options are. In your opinon and to others who are viewing this post where are the best places to look at buying...

Thanks for the link to Brightwells. I will chase them up shortly. Richard

I have come across a few posts suggesting to drill a hole in the rear boot compartment to let the water drain away. I was going to do this but I thought I should first check with you guys that there are no subfloors/wires/hosing etc that I sholud be aware of. Can I simply drill a hole straight...

Im looking for a newish Freelander and I see a few for sale on the British Car Auctions website and I was wondering have any of our posters bought through BCA and what were their expereinces, and more importantly was it good value? regards Richard

What you get when you put a wife in a gaylander???

Judging by my handling skills at slipways that is probable and a wet floor pan!!:D

So all said, avoid the auld gaylander no matter what age!

Just casual for knocking about on our ****e wee roads and lanes and towing my fishing boat. I really did like my wee gaylander faults and all!! I was assured that they had improved, but somehow I dont believe it all.

Very good I'm glad I have lightened up someones evening, other than giving money to you guys, squandering it on drugs or loose women, have you any suggestions on a alternative suitable vehicle

Stop the teasing or else I will huff

I know but I like to be punished!!!

Well after 8 years I have decided that the time has come to invest in a nearly new freelander. It is my understanding that prices have dramatically dropped over in GB market, due to credit crunch/high fuel prices/tax/etc. As I am over here in Northern Ireland I was hoping that somebody might...

Hello to all I am looking at changing my 10year old freelander and I was wondering what you guys would recommend as a change , have the freelanders become better in terms of general reliability and if so which models would you guys recommend? I would be looking at buying something 2-4 years...

Hi All I hope you can help me here without much expense involved. Today when i compressed and released the clutch pedal the pedal sprung forward towards me and I was unable to change gear. The pedal in a very high position. Upon further investigation I noticed that a rod connected to the side of...

Hi to everyone and Happy fathers day to all and some may not even know they are fathers!! Anyway back to my problem. My rear door handle had got completely smashed up and I am about to replace it with a nice new one. I just want to know before I start on this job can I easily remove my...

If it is a VCU problem, does that entail a major parts and labour job? regards Richard

Hello everyone, I was wondering can anyone help me out with my problem or maybe I am just over reacting. When I turn the steering wheel hard to either side and move forward it would appear that the rear wheels don't follow through smoothly, its as if they are rubbing or something. It is...

Hi All I am trying to source some Pirelli Scorpion S/T 225/55 R17 tyres. My local agent is unable to source any over here in N.Ireland as he says that Pirelli are not running production on them at this moment in time. I would be grateful if you can put me in touch with someone who might have...

Thanks guys, I didnt know you could remove the dipstick tube. As for the pics of dipstick I have the older freelander with a different dipstick. And as for the other pic I think we truely have a dipstick of greatness. Richard

Hi All Just took out my oil dipstick to check for oil level and when I went to place it back in the damn thing will go in no more than half way. It would appear that the glass bulb on the end of the dipstick has come off and is now lodged at some funny angle therby not permitting the dipstick to...
