    What stereo for 07 GS?

    I would try to get one from a breakers for that car in order to keep everything as it should be. The one in mine is the in dash 6 cd and has very good sound, I think it's an alpine.

    Your "pipe dreams" for your hippo

    I've got the freelander 2 i6 with the fantastic Volvo 3.2 engine. Volvo use this engine with twin turbos in their S60. I wouldn't mind sticking the turbos on mine, it's quick now, but that would be a different ball game.

    Test driving 2007 FL2 3.2 V6 on Friday....

    Just got back with the car. I am very impressed with the way it goes! Motorway driving is effortless and getting up to 80+ mph was way too easy. The engine is a straight six Volvo unit, so I wouldn't worry about that, it's the things like noises from the diff and all the electrics etc, there's a...

    Test driving 2007 FL2 3.2 V6 on Friday....

    I have just bought one after being very impressed on the test drive, the performance is fantastic for the type of car. We have p/x'd a freelander td4 against it and clearly the difference is night and day. I am picking it up this afternoon, so will take it for a good long run and get back to...

    Leaky injector solution

    I had same test yesterday and no1 injector was leaking a bit, the bottle had about 1/4 more fuel in it after the test, but the tester said it wasn't bad enough to warrant replacing it.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Had a 300 mile round trip today, put some cleaner stuff in the tank while it was under 1/4 full, blasted it up the motorway before filling up and it seems to be running very well indeed. Just got the rear window regulator, fuel filter, auto box fluid, oil and filter change, erg to clean along...

    Freelander bonnet. Any good breakers??

    I,ve been looking for a silver bonnet, but nothing decent out there. I think I'll just get one and have it sprayed up as the rest of the car is spotless. Are they all the same from 99 onwards or is there a difference post facelift? thanks, Pete.

    Freelander bonnet. Any good breakers??

    Is the Zambezi silver the only silver for the 05 cars? I would need to get the correct one as I am gonna get rid as soon as it is sorted. Only had it 6 months and it has been the worst car I've owned. I could just get a good bonnet and have it sprayed up, but it would have been handy if there...

    Freelander bonnet. Any good breakers??

    As above really, I'm looking for a bonnet and cowl (the plastic bit near the screen). The bonnet cable snapped and I tried and successfully got it open and removed the catch to refit the cable. While this was removed, the wife decided to go shopping, as I had forgot to mention the missing...

    My Disco boot is empty (that sound organised!), until 6am when two large labradors jump into it, go for long walk, swim etc and back into the car, covered in mud and soaking wet. Then they do it all again in the evening!! I do all my shopping online also, peace of ****!!!
