    Cutting Out Problem

    This sounds similar to my problem - see recent post loss of power/drive Mine only happens when have finished a long motorway run, or been crawling in traffic a long time. However last time I opened the fuel cap to let air out, and it didn't help, so maybe it's the pump?

    Power/Drive loss after long journey

    Can anyone help diagnose the following? :confused: My daily commute consists of a 20 minute crawl, followed by a 30 minute motorway journey, followed by another 20 minute crawl. Yesterday, both to and from work, soon after I came off the motorway, and was in traffic, the car wouldn't pull...

    split radiator hose

    After 15,000 (almost) trouble free miles in my 1999 Freelander SW, the top radiator hose split last night on the motorway, so I ended up being towed home.:( Ordered a new one from LR, about £14 plus VAT so not too bad. Just need some anti-freeze and will sort it out at weekend...

    (Gear) Knob advice required

    Hi, I am thinking of replacing the plastic gear knob on my 99T Freelander (non-HDC)with a nice alloy one.;) Question is, do they just unscrew, or pull off (don't want to ruin it)?:confused:

    Front fog lights

    I was thinking of getting some front fogs for my Freelander, but was put off by this. How easy is it to remove/replace a front bumper exactly (assuming a small knowledge of things mechanical)? As an alternative, I was thinking of buying some small LED front fogs and mounting them in the...

    fast idle

    Not had this on my freelander, but it happened to my Daughter's Rover 114. Turned out to be the Thottle Body itself, which they replaced with a s/h part and it's been fine ever since

    knocking when reversing

    Something to do with the gearbox/clutch I would have thought, if it only happens when reversing - just guesssing though!

    tyre pressures

    I haven't had my 99T 1.8 station wagon long (about 4000 miles), but as i do a lot of motorway work set them to 32 p.s.i. all round. They don't look as flat and shouldn't wear unevenly at that pressure. I remember reading CAR magazine years ago and one of the regulars, the late LJK Setright...

    Towbar removal advice

    Not sure what the going rate is? still need to take it off yet though! Had a quick look at the weekend, and it looks like to get the electrical connector off (o/s rear light) you need to remove the whole side panel from the back door to the boot, which involves removing the seatbelt? I...

    Towbar removal advice

    Thanks for that, but what about the electrical connection? I can see a black electrical cable running back from the socket next to the towball, but where does it go/how does it attach to the source?

    Water in Boot Storage Box

    Just looked in my storage box for the first time (only got car last week) and it had a bit of water in and smelt horrible!:( I will run around with it open to dry off and when I have some time will try and find out where water is coming in - plenty of advice on here it seems!:D Why oh why...
