Thanks all. I'm going to fit new pads and shoes next week so I'll see if that helps.

I know this is an old thread but where did you get that light bar? I'm picking up a brownchurch rack soon and it looks like it works great.

Ah ha! I found RAVE which I can see has a detailed guide :)

Thanks GrumpyGel. Is there a guide anywhere for bleeding the brakes?

The brake pedal feels spongy and only applies the brakes when pressed quite far. If I pump the pedal a few times then it bites much higher up. I've checked the fluid level which is fine. Should a change of pads and shoes fix this or is there something more sinister going on?

Ah, yes. I can see the bent bottom rail now that i've actually opened my eyes!

I found this picture on Pintrest but it linked to the old forum... Can anyone identify what roof rack this is?

Yes, both left and right.

Another day, another issue! The steering gets heavy and makes strange noises (sort of like tyres rubbing) and the odd clonk when turned to full lock. I've checked the tyres and can't see any rubbing and checked the power steering fluid level. Where should I check next?

Drove it again last night and it seems that it only happens when it's warm. Does that narrow it down?

Perfect. Thanks :)

Can anyone point me to the full specification for the Freestyle edition? Thanks

Thanks both. I think I'll find a replacement pump and fit it along with a new filter just incase.

Thanks hd3. So it sounds like i'm in the market for a new pump then. I've just ordered an ODB2 bluetooth dongle on Amazon which will be here tomorrow. Should I see an error code associated with the dodgy pump? Thanks.

Hi all. I've just picked up a second hand 05 plate Freelander. After driving it fine for 80 miles, the EML light started to come on above 2500 RPM. When in 5th on the motorway, sometime the light would come on, other times it would be fine and, on a few occasions, the power would just drop and...

or pop down to Halfords, pick up some cheep rubber floor mats and cut them to the right shape.
