I find that somewhere to put my glasses, tin of mints, pens and fluff is much more useful. If I found the need to use sat nav, I'd stick one of those plungery phone holders on the screen. A billion Uber drivers that can't speak English (Edit: or drive) can't all be wrong. But I will admit...

Looks like an interesting drive.

Fantastic solution to those problems. Very easy to use.

No, its completely, totally, grossly different. There is nothing the same between the cars - except the badge says 'Freelander'. (I'm sure someone will tell me that the lock for the bonnet is the same or summat). Yes, it will have a Haldex... if it ain't fallen off.

I take it you work at a breakers yard? Or did you just buy some bits off someone who turned up at your place of work? How did they get home? Do you try to get other types of parts off your customers, kidneys, livers etc? :D Going by your profile pic, it looks like you had the Sport rims...

My main thought is that it was a rather useless auto electrician. Second thought is that its nothing to do with brakes if the fuse is for both reverse lights and brakes... and it happens when you put the car in reverse. Does it do it if you don't have your foot on the brake when you go through...

Gera reversing camera and be done with the sensors.

An AWD fully functional F1 is obviously the best way to use and enjoy the car. However, my F1 has been giving great service in 2WD for a decade and is still going strong. I have just removed drive in the IRD to the rear pinion, so I'm carrying everything that's original... except a gear. What...

That's an awesome pack you have there. Hope the fuse sorts the problems. Great call from @pscan.eu Please accept my appologies for saying this is a great thread... as its causing you grief.... But its part of what makes LZ so great and I keep coming back.... you 'meet' all sorts of people...

When my L Series started strange misbehaving starts it was due to electrical spikes. I disconnected the battey for 20 minutes to let the ecus clear and reset themselves. It was fine after that. Good luck.

I don't know anything about your problem, I don't know how the auto box works, but you say "there is no power to the inhibitor". Looking at the circuit diagram, the "INHIBIT" within the 'SELECTOR" looks to get power from fuse F35 in the passenger compartment fuse box. This gets its power from...

Removing the dash is something that sounds very simple.... However, in actual fact is anything but!

If you download the Rave workshop manual there is a section that has pictures of all connectors with a description of where they are... https://landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rave-disk-maintenance-manual.260227/ The connector for that relay (C1976 if I read it correctly from the image) is as...

Agreed. We have (relatively) big panels on our campers (340w) and they kick out quite a lot of power when the conditions are right and although we replace the house batteries every 3 years, the starters that they also charge last double that. The controllers stop the batteries being cooked.

That must be all those years playing in the front row for Scotland ;) 1 of our mates is an ex professional rugby player, huge bloke, but walking on artificial joints these days. I'm doing fine. Keeping in good health, but still grumpy mind :D Hope you've still got the Freelander. Getting...
