    Lumpy start up

    I live in Worthing and I think my husbby put the £30 in at Sainsburys. What is Millers Diesel Sport - forgive my ignorance - is it a type of fuel?

    Lumpy start up

    We have had the freelander 06 plate for 3 weeks now and I love it. Its my car since I drive it to and fro from work as hubby has a company van. Anyway, yesterday (Saturday) we go out and hubby drives but on start up he said "that sounds lumpy". Not too sure what he meant but on questioning...

    What sort of freelander have I got

    Oh I might do one of those Land Rover Days - I dont think I would ever go off road in mine but it would be nice to see how these machines respond and my boss has done all the Land Rover Experiences. He has a Defender which looks like a tank and he said that when you go you can try whichever...

    What sort of freelander have I got

    Sorry to be a bit thick guys but I want to buy some car mats to protect my new freelander but I dont know what to buy. The description is Freelander Adventurer TD4 on a GU56 plate but I am confused on something. The description generally says up to 06 or from 06. Am I right in thinking...

    Just got my new freelander

    OMG - wow!!! Can I ask another stupid dumb question? I am thinking about having parking sensors fitted to the rear and maybe the front. Do you think this is stupid? The dealer said to use the back wheel as a guide and when you feel a bump you know you cant go back any more?

    Just got my new freelander

    Body roll - now you are frightening me. It won't roll over will it? I think it handles corners pretty well. I certainly value your opinion - the flashes have made me realise that I am indeed going over the limit and I have since then kept an eye on the speedo. Whew -

    Just got my new freelander

    Well - the pulling away with the TD4 is much slower than the MR2 but once the freelander has gathered its speed it does go like a rocket. I didn't notice the speed this evening coming home from work along the seafront and I got flashed by speed cameras. i couldn't believe it - for the past 4...

    OMG - well that shows what both the garage man and my brother in law know then? Now that is a bit worrying when even my brother does'nt know it has a chain. No wonder the garage owner couldn't find the documentation when it was last changed (or if at all). Well - at least I will have 6...

    Oh OK? I told you I was a complete virgin - I dont at my age even understand the off side rule............. I am not sure about taking the back off the freelander - I have seen a couple of pictures with the back off and it looks weird. Problem with that though is that in this country if you...
