Sounds like you bought a load of gear to get round a problem instead of fixing it. So many things tampered with I wouldn’t know where to start.

Two giant schnauzers fit in but they have to get on. As one got older, I tipped the rear seat bases forward and put his bed across so that he didn’t have to jump up and down as high.

Walk away

I did this for FL2 but might give you some ideas, good luck.

Nearer 1 ohm I would have thought?

Under the power steering reservoir

It’s behind the drivers side headlight. I would just link it out with wire

I assume it has some type of immobiliser on it?

When you push the key fob in does the steering lock come off and the immobiliser light go off on the dashboard? Until the steering lock comes off nothing else will happen. (The steering lock turns on all the other computers so not even any fault codes to read) Then the cold starting is probably...

Does it have the original wheels on or have wheels with a different off-set been fitted that need the spacers? Or other option you got it from a boy racer?

There is a mod on earlier freelanders to put an extra ground wire onto the engine. The original ones were a bit marginal and also prone to rusting where they bolt to the in the innerwing. Take a hefty cable from the battery negative and bolt the other end to the engine right next to the...

Lot of unknowns there. How do you go several weeks without using the car? How far do you drive when you do use it? What kind of driving, motorways etc? Has it got stop/start? Is it kept in a garage? Are the glowplugs all working? It’s an unusual way to use a car. I would get the battery and...

Think I would pursue the guarantee first. Then change the tank and fluid because that’s relatively easy. Good luck.

Have a look at this see if it helps. if your rack was changed nine months back, is it still under guarantee?

As you say it’s a bit of a toss-up. Personally, I would just live with it until it gets unbearable.

I think it’s called tranny shudder. You can get additives for the fluid, but I am not convinced they work. Mine did it for many years, but it never got any worse so save your money and drive round it unless it gets worse.

Think you should read your manual. The glow plugs come on until the engine is warm enough to not need them. They are not just there to make sure it starts when it’s really cold. Also, by the time you have stripped the engine enough to test individual glow plugs you may as well fit new ones they...

Perhaps change the interior light bulb to LED as well.

try pressing the end of the left indicator stalk a few times. (or is it the right)

Or if you have the grey 12s towing socket you could charge it through that?
