okay, misunderstanding on my part, bitter is a strong word, we are cool. Living in Sweden for the last 25 yrs not so use to conversing in English so much. To embark in friendly banter then use a word such as bitter in such banter I took it literally, my mistake. We are good.

not bitter, just trying to join in a bit of (what I thought to be friendly banter) sorry if I offended you, it won't happen again. Haven't been a member for long but beginning to realise that some of us just can't accept that there is more than one type of Land Rover,shame it gives a bitter...

would help to know the mileage it has done, just brought my 2011 with 110,000 kilometers on the clock, recently serviced, all running fine, whilst putting in a calix motor warmer notice oil stay on front of engine, not had time to investigate it yet, but am told it could be a split oil pipe or...

lol, don't have time to get into a slanging match, all it would be fun to while away a few hrs, Have a barn to build, but just to enlighten yr neanderthal intelligence (ouch ;)) when yr little sis is using the rasp I am sending your way (to whittle down the claws at the end of yr paws) oo that...

Ah now I understand why your drive so deep into the woods, it's so no one will see yr little secret, yer sis is setting up a hair and nail salon, ( probably in the back of yr defender) so all you rough and tough guys can go and get a manicure with out coming out, and that isn't out of the...

thanks for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon read, looking forward to the next instalment. I like the dragon flu, might try to make one for my workshop so more pics please.

as Albro says, stop the motors burning out.

yep, exactly, can hit -40c here and a meter of snow, already have 10 cm on the ground now and it will stay until May. Temperature can go above freezing which then melts the snow all over the mirrors then freezes solid, and high chance of burning out motors.

ok here are the photos of the very limited space in which to cajole the 2 pipes where one use to be. the pipe your connecting into is the one behind where my finger is pointing, with the clamp still on it. In the second picture you see where i have squeezed to 2 pipes and jubilee clips in to...

thanks I'll check that out.

"Do you mean the dip stick?" nope it is to the left of the dipstick, large flattish tube about 3" x 1.5", looks similar to the air intake tube that runs from the airfilter. Its dark now but I'll take a photo tomorrow

Put a Calix engine heater on the car today and noticed that there was a fair bit of oil residue on the front of the engine on what looks like a breather tube coming down the outside. Anybody got any ideas on what it is.

Spent all day fitting a Calix engine warmer, not the easiest task I've done, but it is done now. It was a really tight fitting the pipes but got there in the end. And a bit scary having to drill 2 x 25mm holes in to my pride and joy but I'm sure I'll appreciate getting into a warm car on these...

Just thought I'd do an update on the few jobs that I have done to my Freelander, got my gap IIDTool BT from Island 4x4 and was able to turn off the auto fold rear view mirrors, a necessary evil when living up here in the north of Sweden. Fitted a Witter tow bar which went quite smoothly apart...

hej, Johansn, Have a Freelander 2 in ipanema Sand colour myself, and your right it is an unusual colour, the dealer here in Sweden I brought mine from didn't even have it in their data bank to print out the right sales document . I have my rear windows tinted, quite a normal thing to have done...

okay contacted Gap and their IIDtool will disable it, just waiting a reply from Bearmach then depending on that is wether I upgrade the hawkeye or get the Gap.

okay thanks, think it is daft that they don't give the option to disable this within the vehicle, they must know that these vehicles are going to land up (excuse the poor pun) in some very cold places. Awaiting a reply from Gap to see if their diagnostics will disable it for me then I'll have a...

thanks Nodge68, that is an option, I know a dealer can disable it but my nearest dealer is over 700 kilometers away, Just wondered if the Hawkeye would have the capability on more modern vehicles.

Hej, finally picked up the freelander 2, a nice SD2, with 110,000 k on the clock. Love it. But here is the question, due to the sever winters we get up here -35c and a meter of snow I want to disable the power fold on the wing mirrors. I have a hawkeye for the now defunct disco 2, If I get...
