That's a result, good to know, thanks Terry. It gets better. I rang Aviva to notify all the mods and the premium has gone down! Granted I have a multi car policy and the saving was due to shuffling some things around, but the net result was a reduction of £360 in my annual premium for all...

You mean prittstik and candle wax won't do? :D

Will do. Likely to be over the new year as delivery could be any time from 18th-30th December.

It gets better. Just found a Mercedes specialist in Germany with an unused set of the genuine Recaro brackets and bit his arm off for £180 for the pair, delivered. No DIY seat fittings for me :D Handy hint: Use Google.FR and Google.DE and eBay.FR / DE and use google translate to work out...

Well surprise surprise...... A pair of Recaro subframes for Freelander can be sent to me from Germany for £350 all in. Demon Tweeks want to lift me for £470 PLUS shipping. Bless them..... Recaro are adamant these are only to 10/00, but the part number for the factory seat frame remains...

Seat belt anchor points and subframe are not changed in any way - I'm removing the cushion frame, not the seat frame. Pre-tensioner mount is on the side of the subframe. Essentially I am removing the cushion (foam) and the anti-submarine frame it sits on. I'm then replacing that with another...

Thanks Dom. Having done some more looking at the current frame assembly, the seat cushion frame is essentially a thin steel cap held in place with 4 rivets and 2 large torx bolts and sits a good 50mm or so above the main frame assembly. I can drill out the rivets to remove the cushion base and...

Dismantled the front passenger seat out today - everybody who sits in it complains of back pain and pressure on one side of their legs when sat in it (including me). I can't see anything fundamentally wrong with the foam but something isn't right. I've got some sport seats sat in the barn -...

Found this while checking a loose cable on one of the ECU plugs - it's a full PDF of every electrical connector and associated circuit in the 2004 Freelander (all models) - complete with colour photos of switch panels, trim and connector pin-outs...

The "recommended" tyres are those where the manufacturer's are in bed with Land Rover on a cosy supply basis. Any that meet the size and weight specs for your vehicle are fine and will NOT invalidate warranty. Give Andy Sergeant a ring over at AJS Tyres for the full low down on winter...

Just had an oil change on my auto box and have to say the difference is incredible. Much quieter, it "bites" more readily (less slipping) and changes are very smooth. If the oil was that badly discoloured and that low, I'd definitely be asking some very searching questions of the garage!

Unfortunately that's the whole compressor biggeeeee. Hippo, thanks for that, could be the answer

I've spent the last 45 minutes browsing various A/c pulley related threads and can't seem to find a definitive answer to this one: Is it possible to source the A/c compressor pulley/bearing assembly as a separate part? Poking around various parts sites I end up with some less than...

Here is a pic of mine on Continental crosscontact AT in 215/80/15.

DCP3892L CALIPER CARRIER BOLT Any good? I don't know if pre and post 2001 are the same part number - these are in the post 2001 section.

Looks like something Maplin would sell for £19.99 (batteries not included)

I had the box detached and on the work bench and it still wasn't budging! Earth was corroded but intact I'm pleased to say

Aha! That explains the stray connector I found when I changed my pump and filter today - I don't have a fuel burning heater. Those filters sure don't like coming out - mine appeared to be the original and all kind of witness marks on it from assorted levers and molegrips. Ended up putting a...

Spring specs and differences between models are here: Freelander - Suspension Specifications - Land Rover All models have the same rear springs

Package of shininess received, ta! Now, this receiver hitch..... What did I miss? I've got a normal tow bar and was looking to replace the Swan neck with a receiver for a shackle, and relocate the tow electrics in to the rear bumper skin.
