    Does anyone know what phone holder this is?

    Looks similar to the "Nokia" one with the connector at the bottom of the holder or for a generic holder try the "Bury" range of car kits. Some have usb ports to charge up generic phones too.

    Freelander 1 creeking when turning right..

    Have you replace any of your anti roll bar drop links.. I found this exact problem on a friends FL1 only last week... the problem ended up being the wrong drop link on the noisy side was fitted. (There are two different lengths). It ended up ripping the cr4p out of his ARB bushes too.

    I see where you are coming from....but.... I quite like the part on the wings and arches.... but dread the door panel. The thing is..... I find the Hippo a bit...... well...... basic looking..... and before you ask "why did you get one then" - please read my profile.

    Interesting comment Bukko. Intrigued to know why I would regret it though? Especially if I fit it sikkaflex-ing the parts on to form a seal so water cannot get behind it.

    ah..... and that answers the question guys.... because the door ribs are one peice and not individual... I will have to go black... otherwise, i will have a silver panel in the middle of the door...... unless the individual strips on rimmer will match up nicely.

    This one.... the three ribs on the door are "one-piece" and to be honest... if it isn't genuine LR (even though all the part no's are there) - I don't really care!

    lol - I should do the RR Sport in Pink.... or at least rip out the front seats so people can actually sit in it without thinking they are sitting on concrete blocks! (yup.... the seats are solid on this..... why landrover put hard seats in a new RR I will never know!).

    Freelander clutch

    Or (Dave)..... maybe the GETRAG box has been ripped out and a PG1 fitted and Converted.. I think the PG1 can be converted as the arm goes outside the bell housing, but the GETRAG box.... my god... how much modifcation would be needed. Maybe.... Single Mass Flywheel as Dave says, but Cable clutch...

    The answer isn't much use to you I'm afraid, but. ... depends? Why was it removed in the first place? Was the IRD goosed on the output? Did the differential suffer damage because of the VCU?
