Cheers, no I know everything has electronic crap in it now but I'm quite competent as a mechanic and with vehicle electrics but the newer stuff is just stupid I want something that if something does go wrong can be fixed majoratively without plugging it into some computer.. my cayenne was a...

I couldn't live with it as a daily drive I had a tdci 90 puma for 6 weeks a few years back and driving it crippled me.. need the auto for the Mrs as well as she has problems with her left ankle..

hey folks.. I've happily owned 2 td4 auto freelanders for around a year first been for the Mrs and the second replacing my cayenne.. needing something more to our rural lifestyle.. Having owned them with minimal problems (the Mrs' snapped the reverse ring but that was just bad luck) Now I've...

Is it just the shell mate or is it complete? I only life 5 mins from HOSM and have a real good courier relationship I could get it delivered to you if you like :) Dan

Good thought... Looking at it no the suspension arms all seem to be "looking up" rather than riding level as standard.. I think I'm more inclined to swap all the struts over complete since my other 4 are nearly new, just want to be sure there is no difference between the td4 and 1.8 especially...

hey guys, so it turns out hippo no 3 (my road car) is actually a de badged sport.. Thought it looked low against the other halves but hers is on big tyres n has roof bars so thought it optic illusion... Driving it it's as hard as hell and seems way too low.. Now the q I have is to take the sport...

Ha.. Well I never, it turned out that the vibration was caused by a snapped exhaust rubber... So the engine was able to move to far..

Fab, lots to look at and check out... it does feel like its coming from the back, its like having a buckled wheel but its not coming from one particular side, but then ive had that before and turned out that the vibration was transferring from somewhere completely different.. I thought the Auto...

that's fair enough one of my concerns was lumping best part of 50kgs on the front was that it would just sit down and ride terribly.., im not looking for performance handling (part of the reason for swap from existing car to the freelander was to remove of a substantial performance element as...

Cheers mike, oils cheap engineering to me so yeah the ird and auto box are on the list, I did wonder if it could be the diff mounts but I kinda ruled them out with the prop shaft off??? I'll check the engine mounts as if possibly Wrongly Ruled them out it just having a replacement motor in by a...

hi guys me again.. I've had a look around the forum and there seems to be quite a few potential problems but nobody ever seems to be able to confirm a fix for this so here's my problem.. Took the new fl out for a run last night (bought it for a song from a dealer who had done an engine change...

Exactly the kind of responses I wanted guys... Looks like I'll be going for the fixed option.. Dave with that 13000lb winch on there plus the ironwork do you notice handling issues ? That was my main concern that the weight would upset the handling too much.. Mines the later frontend so I...

Hi guys, well after buying one fore the wife a couple of months back ive just added number 3 freelander to the fold.... So impressed am I with the td4 auto 54 plate we bought that indeed ive bought myself a 54 plate td4 auto! to replace of all things my Cayenne! Now ive been looking at her...

lol.. unfortunately the quad bit the dust.. age comes to all things :( tipping trailer I built myself quite a while ago for the grand sum of £400 bought a crashed supercarry from the local council parks team for £150 and the steel, hitch and axles, bit of welding and bobs your uncle.. I do love...

Great Thanks for that, I was following just theres that much about them that's not much info if you know what I mean.. I wanted to confirm what I thought I knew and learn more.. Bumper off on the weekend then :)

Ah in there may lie my confusion, ive been thinking that the supplementary was used for either heated screen or the Diesel FBH as what is fitted under the bumper.. Ah ha.. ill try that, I did see that fuse 5 was changed from a 10a to 20a in that fusebox? so are we saying I don't have to...

Thanks, guys, higher than a D2 is out of the question as I don't think ill be any better off, I can get the cayenne further off road than others in the shoot with D3/4's and RR's its only fitted with General AT's but weights 400kg less than the D3 and has a bigger footprint. Plus most of its...

Thanks Nodge, Im more questioning whether its even connected in to work as everything I read tells me that the supplementary fuse box should be used for either heated screen or FBH nowhere can I find any info about a vehicle with both, if you look at the exhaust on the heater it doesn't look...

hi all, I'm at a crossroads and need some help.. Having bought the Mrs a Freelander and having one myself that is for comp safari use, it's nothing near standard. I now find myself wondering whether to change my luxury tow car.. I've always fancied having something to Greenlane and do some of...

just taken delivery of a stunning 04 Freelander td5 auto for the Mrs to get to the stables n back... We knew it had heated screens and seats but On inspection it's also got the Sebastian diesel heater under the bumper, but I'm damned if I know how to work it, even in the freezing cold we have...
