Hi Guys, hope you don't mind me asking another question to the oracles you are. I know next to nothing on this subject but have found out a tiny bit to help explain things hopefully. I've got a heart condition and a neurological disease and live with my elderly parents. You guess who drives...

My insurance company doubled my premium without warning. I pay monthly, and thought, what?! It's twice what it was. Paying £2,000 a year now, comp with full no claims and zero points on license from Direct Line. Tried to get them to drop it and they refused.

Hi, my Sport has 235/50/18 out of the factory so the AT2's sound like they'd fit. :)

Hi. I think the cheapest way is you can use a 2'' 'lift kit' from Bearmach and then keep the original harder shocks & lowered springs that came with the Freelander Sport model meaning if you sell the vehicle all you need to do is take the liftkit off and it's back to normal. The disadvantage...

Does anyone please know where to go in the North of England or (preferably in/near Newcastle), or who I could contact to pay someone to actually fit a lift kit? No Land Rover garage will do the job as it's not a recommended part obviously. It's a specialist job and most mechanics unless they...

Hi Eric thanks for replying so soon and the information you gave me. So it looks like I have to carefully pull the trim off, from outside rather than search for hidden fixings that don't exist. Cheers for the help, I'll see how I get on!

Hi guys, hope you don't mind me asking a question, I've been putting it off for months, but decided to ask as the summer's getting on a bit now and don't want to miss out the chance to do some Landy DIY. I've got my hands on a new boot seal and cannot fathom how to remove the old one! (I've...

£500 for a roof rack. I wonder how much they are new.

From what I've learnt on here if you use a 2'' lift kit, you can squeeze on: 205/80/16 without spacers. :p Out of interest, would anyone need or want to go bigger than 80 profile on a Hippo, even if lifted? Probably ruin the drivetrain from my minimal knowledge.

Thanks for all the replies, good to hear.

Hi guys. I wanted to ask please when you paint parking sensors, can you spray the actual sensor itself, or just the plastic housing that the the sensor fits inside of? I was guessing it might look a bit weird, just spraying the housing the colour of the car, and leaving the sensor black...

Hi. I've managed to scratch the boot panel pretty badly, whilst fitting a rear 12v accessory socket (comes from using a drill and file!) :doh: I know I can't literally 'fix' plastic that's been scratched down to a lighter colour quite deeply, but maybe there's a way to do a botch job on it...

Ebay, nearly always.

Stealers is having a laugh, the entire rear kit is £480 inc VAT and the entire front kit is about £280 inc VAT. Having said that they may have been charing you £120/hour labour cost.

Thanks for this info, mine did this today and reading your advice went to look at the tailgate glass and it was slightly lowered, when locked. A good slam of the tailgate fixed the issue and no horn beep when using the remote. Cheers.

Broke down twice and needed AA with failure to start, and stalling at idle when engine is warmed up. (Had to replace the High Pressure Fuel Sensor on the fuel rail, wiring loom, and O-ring). £200 'special offer' Rear door seal gone, £90 'special offer' should be £123 from dealer. This has...

Thanks for the help Jedi/Willo/Skinny Mike. :)

Thanks for the reply, looks like it'll be a glue job then. :( Last time I paid £120 for rubber it involved miss whiplash.

Went to dealers for tailgate rubber seal, they want £123.84 inc VAT! If anyone knows where to get it cheaper online, please let me know. Thanks.
