    replascement ignition key

    Try this lot: Spare Car Keys | Replacement Car Keys | Transponder Keys | Lost Keys They cut one for my daughter's Yaris from a photograph taken by my phone. To program it I had to go through a sequence of pedal presses with the new key in the ignition. I was sceptical at the time - but it...

    Drum Brakes

    I've had this problem since I've started using the car less since I retired. I took the drums off and cleaned them and the shoes with 80 grit abrasive paper. Now when I park it up at home, I leave the handbrake off and put it in first gear.

    OBD2 bluetooth adapter for android

    I eventually bought one of these for £5.99 as recommended by matt1295 above: V1.5 ELM327 OBD2 OBDII Bluetooth Vehicle Car Diagnostic Interface Scanner | eBay It works fine, however with the Freelander 2, because of the position of the OBD socket at the driver’s side, it sticks out a bit too...

    I’ve had/got a similar problem with my facelift 06TD4. When I left home in the morning, the car started fine. Stopped to go into a shop, came out and when I tried to start, absolutely nothing as you describe. Put on headlights to check battery, absolutely fine and no dimming when trying to...

    Gearbox Oil Selection

    PS it also came with that length of clear plastic tube with a one way valve at the end. I'm sure you will source some tubing easily and the one way valve aint that critical.

    Gearbox Oil Selection

    Probably. I had hoped it would screw on to the gear oil bottle (Why aren't they a standard size and thread !:mad:) I'm also a bit wary of oil products and plastics and felt at least this would be oil resistant. Bitter experience years ago with dissolving plastics and petrol!:( I know oil aint...

    OBD2 bluetooth adapter for android

    Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced (say less than 20 quid ) OBD bluetooth adapter for use with the torque app for android? The ELM327 seems pretty ubiquitous, but prices range from £3 to £22 on amazon uk! It needs to work with android 4.0 (some sellers say it doesnt) and also with a...

    Undertray, modified

    After years of cursing mine every year when I remove it, I've finally got round to modifying it. The "key" is large plastic panel trim rivets from Halfords. ( Halfords | Halfords Trim Panel Rivets (HFX363) ) £2.79 for 8 rivets. These are a bit like plastic "pop" rivets. You push the plastic...

    Creaking front suspension

    My nearside front suspension has started creaking and squeaking, near side. Most noticeable at slow speeds and also creaks as I turn the steering eg when parking. It doesnt start immediately, but after I've driven a couple of miles. It seems to have coincided with this short spell (ok a couple...

    Fitting instructions for Softback and showercover

    That looks a useful land rover information site - unfortunately I can't get past the opening screen. When I click "Freelander" a photo appears - fine however what do I click next? Handbooks? If I click any of the options, nothing happens - do I need to enable cookies or some other such computer...
