Morning all, I currently have a 2005 Peugeot 206 Van 1.4HDI but its a little on the small side. Spotless van with 89k on the clock, never had a problem, drives fantastic etc etc but space is now becoming an issue. I want something a little bigger but not really a box van. I have been...

The temperature when sitting at idle sits normal but when i am driving the needle goes right down low, then at idle again it sits normal, then driving it goes right down low - you get the picture. Will having the system bled cure this?

Hi All, Here i am again with another question regarding this piece of s**t that i am driving around in. My 1st freelander was brilliant but this one is terrible. When driving above 55mph there is a "booming" noise coming from the rear. Any ideas? Also does anyone know of anywhere that buys...

Hi All, I have searched the forum and come up with a few answers but i hope someone can help with my own symptons. The temp gauge is rather erratic. Sometimes it doesn't even move, other times its fine and will rise normally. Sometimes i have a nice warm interior, other times it wont even...

How can i tell if the roof rails on the car are genuine LR? The key has been lost. On the key barrel it has the only two numbers inscribed - 66

How much would it cost to have a gearbox replaced on a 99 freelander 1.8? I have seen units on ebay for around £150 but would like to know the rough labour time. Locking wheen nuts - 2 have been removed from the car but the rear 2 are in a bit of a state where someone has tried to hack them...
