Thanks for that mate, but mine only a 1999 model and i think they are a different fit from 2000+ - think im gonna replace the whole unit on mine which seem to be a bout £50 used / £80 quid new. As you are changing yours, is it quite easy to replace the unit or do i need to get this done...

I should say that it is for a 1999 / T reg freelander 1.8. Not evbberyones favourite model, but i love it! Just wish people would take a wider berth when i park it!:D

Some clutz has knoocked my passenger side wing mirror :mad: The main unit, electrics and glass are all fine but the back cover (black plastic) came off and broke. I have searched the internet for a replacement (new or used) but they all seem to sell the whole unit which seems crazy to buy / fit...

This is all good - makes sense, so thanks for that!!!!!

Thanks 4 the advice - i will act on that now - cheers

Wellington, Somerset - this sounds like an expensive problem eh?

Just checked after the car has been off for an hour. When i start the ignition, the amber HDC light comes on straight away now and the exhuast sounds terrible and the revs are very uneven. I didnt attempt to drive it!!! Ive has people look at this post but no advice yet - does anyone have any...

Please help - Something awful has happened to my Freelander 1.8 (T reg). I was driving it and then all of a sudden the engine started revving madly on its own, the break pedal wouldnt press down and the car wouldnt break properly, it juddered, stalled, bounced, jerked!!!! The HDC light came on...
