Why do you want to drive a RHD car on the right? Shirley that's just undue risk to you and others. If you want to live somewhere where they drive on the wrong side, get a car with a steering wheel on the wrong side to.

I'd agree if it were going round corners - would changing lane be enough of a 'turn'? Tends to be a 'thumping' as well rather than 'harmonic wobble'.

Think there have been wishbone bushes cause this type of behaviour - not sure if that was F1 or F2 though.

Sounds like a challenge. You might like to research the tyres you want to make sure they are available in Africa. Mismatched tyres cause big problems on Freelander, so if you get a couple of punctures that can't be repaired, your 1 spare won't be enough. You could carry another spare tyre...

Hi, unless you're asking what colour tyres to use, there isn't really such thing as a basic question. As can be seen by the lack of response to your question - doesn't look like people know! I know I don't. There is quite a bit of experience with the linkage mechanism on manual cars, probably...

As the F2 is very much Ford based, its probably the right fit. The F2 is also closely related to a Volvo (XC60?) that was developed under Ford ownership.

Its looking like the perfect accessory these days for an F1, is an F2 :D

You still haven't said what year it is - "57 plate" means feck all to me. But don't worry about it, its one of my pet hates when people quote their plate rather than just say what year it is. Grrrr, as if we all live in Blighty. Which fuse was it? If you buy a fob, it won't just work. The...

If you are sure there is oil coming out of it - that is very strange. Have you also been losing coolant? It could be that the cooler is leaking into the IRD. It may be worth draining the IRD to see what comes out. Remember to loosen the fill bolt first as these are soft and can round easily...

Erm, if the a fuse blew, presumably it has blown again - so replacing it would enable you to get the chair out. You don't say what type of Freelander it is 1 or 2 (and spec) - message could be read as light, presume its a 2 confirmed by viewing your profile. You should say what year it is...

Well I think that tells you its nothing to do with the horn button or steering wheel connections - which was the implied cause of the problem by the garage. Think its time to look at a F2 wiring diagram - find out what controls the horn - eg is there some kind of 'module', whether there is a...

If you try and lock the car with a door open, does the horn sound? Will go some way to identifying where the problem is.

The five times thingie is only for replacing batteries in the fob I believe, not the starter battery. I'd be inclined to put the new battery in sooner rather than hanging around, personal preference! The only time I've waited is when my electrics were all screwed up and I disconnected the...

When you connect the new battery, the tailgate window will drop to the bottom. Just press the button to raise it back up. I think the only other thing that you may need to consider is the PIN code for the radio. My (older '99) has never asked for 1 but later ones may.

If you know the VIN, you can also plug it into a VIN decoding site and it will tell you what colour it was when it left the factory. Eg... https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/check-lookup/SALFA2AB9AH171215 Which is interesting because it tells me my car is "Lago Grey" as well - but its names is...

I don't pretend to know about these sealants, but I was interested in what you are doing and googled that part number. There is talk about that sort of thing on the web and it looks like alternate sealants can be used without problems, eg...

Nice write up :D You obviously know what you are looking for in your car. I also noticed how noisy they are on startup. When we went for the first test drive, as soon as it started up, it was my first impression. I was lucky with the one I got that everything had just been serviced, and...

Presumably the reason to want to remove it is wind up - so with the props removed, it could not create wind up. I could see how it might damage an already damaged Haldex further, but can't see how it would damage the transmission. It might start throwing Amigos or summat if the input shaft to...

Can you not then just remove the prop shafts?

DPF issues can happen at any time to. We've had a virtually brand new van on only its 2nd or 3rd hire recovered on a tow truck today from Kaikoura 200km to Chch because its gone in to limp mode after the DPF and MIL lights coming on.
