Ah, fortunately we are in the caravan park with clear space all round and cold drinks available

This was going well with a clean getaway from the storage site and averaging 40mph with the caravan attached. Just a 320mile drive to Kendal and all the time we need to get there Arrive just after 5 and get out pitch number and go to startup and the brake pedal hits the floor....seems as...

Naively I always thought this was just an electric fan running for a while until some engine part was down below a threshold temperature and I could ignore it...sounds like I got the second part right

Only problem with leather seats is that the dog cover I use on the back seat slides when our spaniel jumps in - cross between a stereotype and a cartoon moment

Ouch. Because they pull so well that could easily be missed for just long enough to be a real issue

So taking advice from the Forum (thank you Nodge68) and knowing my capabilities (all three of them) I have been ringing round looking for someone to supply/fit a battery. Spoken to 3 LR mechanic shops plus the local LR Dealer and all have promised to get back to me 'later today' with price and...

Yesterday we picked up a touring caravan as we are getting too old for Glamping. We had been booked into a caravan towing course a couple of weeks ago as while we have dragged a trailer around for a while (these camp beds and memory foam matresses need a lot of space even vacuum packed) but we...

Ahhh....so if it is the original then I have done very very well. Need to find the old engine hoist so I can do the swap without putting my back out

I have tried searching through threads but not found anything to match so... I have a 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE and when I unlock it and get in I see a warning on the centre display that the system will shutdown if I do not start the engine. I did get a suggestion that there was a separate...

:( So replacing the cable was a breeze but as expected it didn't magically fix the reversing sensor issue so had to find someone to flash the ECU. Good news is that there is someone only 10 minutes away and it was longer getting there than the guy took to sort it. Now to start writing the...

Well I bit the bullet and did my first piece of work on mine having owned it all of three weeks now, changing the 7pin towing electrics to a 13pin ready for when we can change from glamping to caravanning. Sadly, a trip to the recycling centre pulling a trailer before I changed the cable showed...

I have found a cable on John Craddock (VPLFT0106) that looks to be what I need and says it is for DHxxxx and later and just onder £100 with VAT. My knowledge/skills are not up to modifying the existing cable without a risk of damaging something which then results in a multi-hundreds bill to fix...

And I managed to stuff up a simple forum reply....on a rapid downhill slope after a moment of happiness

Sadly a few years ago my wife decided I wanted to sell my Discovery 2 as 'it had problems and used too much fuel'. Many moons passed in the wastelands of other makes until it was decided 'we' wanted to buy a caravan as 'we' were not suited to camping. Smirks were kept well hidden as it was noted...

I have just got a '63 plate Freelander 2 which already had a tow bar with 7 pin cable installed and I was looking for advice around how much work changing the cable to the Euro plug for pulling a caravan would be. Each time I do a search for this I find a different answer with comments about ECU...

Yesterday I finally gave up the fight and traded in my Disco. The wife has been chirping for some time now that it is too unreliable and costs too much to run as I am travelling 400-500 miles per week. All because we moved and she now can't do without her car if I have an issue. Sadly I had...

Do you have a pair of Driver & Passenger side mirrors available? Got some minor issues with mine and if not too much I could do with replacing them to tart the Disco up a bit.

Yep, that's same question with the same problem, if you don't know what it is called then it is jolly challenging to search for it :D Fortunately there is such a wealth of nice people on here that you soon get pointed in the right direction.

Sorry, should have rolled these into a single response.... Assuming I got it right with it being #14, would that be up for grabs?

Hmmm....I'm thinking it may be #14, it's basically a posh cardboard flap and it does have the large hole in it as shown in the diagram. Does that seem right? Still €70 but half the price of that other one, not cheap but can't run with it hanging down or missing so something needs to be done...
