Thanks for advice, removal was easier than I anticipated! I took the switch to pieces and the points carrier on the central moulded plastic was out of alignment due to plastic melting. I will order a modified switch and loom from Island 4 x 4, fit and report back. Is it easier when refitting to...

I have the 2 amigos, HDC and TC lights on permanently I've just looked at Island 4 x 4 and searched for modified brake light switch XKB500120, see photo which is the modified switch Do I need the modified loom as well for my 2006 FL1 TD4? Presumably that should already be fitted Advice on...

Wishbone replaced, done and dusted. Thanks for advice Rear bakes next and then a cure for the traction control and hill descent lights being permanently on should get me another 12 months mot

Dry day so had another go at loosening bolts and they are all moving😅 I must admit I was a little sceptical about the power of penetrating oil! Fingers crossed that when the wishbone is lowered from front bush, I can hammer out the shaft from the rear bush without taking off the complete...

Had a good go on Wednesday but advice needed on removing the front bolt. Will plenty of heat be the answer where it screws into the sub frame. Would using a cutting disc on an angle grinder to cut into the rubber bush help or even burn the rubber bush!! None of the YouTube vids I've seen answer...

Thanks very much for helpful suggestions. Wednesday is the next dry day so will have another go then

MOT now due and near side lower wishbone has rust holes. I've searched this forum and YouTube and it looks a fairly straight forward job BUT the front bush area looks corroded. I would really appreciate advice about removing the front bolt if it proves to be rusted up because I don't want to...

Thanks all for your replies. I am at a stage(age?) where working outside on a cold wet day is not great so I took the Freelander to a local one-man band. Not collected yet. I don't think there will be a "happy ending"!

Have just had my Freelander 1 fail its MOT, new track rod end ball joints and lower suspension arm required, see attachment. Although the failure was on one suspension arm, I plan to renew both and similarly track rod ends I plan to carry out the work myself, after looking at YouTube videos...

Thanks Nodge

2006 Freelander 1 MoT fail No problem changing dip-beam bulb! I used to make up and fit my own brake pipes but lying on your back in wet weather is now not my idea of fun:( So, what's a ball park figure to get the above work carried out? Anyone in NP4 post code area want the job;) Thanks all

Andy, sorry I didn't note the name on the box, came from local motor factor. Mechanic used to deal with Bearmach but he said they had gone into liquidation

Two front drive shafts (2-year unlimited mileage warranty) including fitting came to £355.72 Good result has stopped all the vibration:)

Nodge, thanks for reply. Nothing to lose by trying soldering. It looks as though that was done originally I will post back after giving it a go

Whilst putting new runners on the tail one of the window heating contacts came unstuck from the window, see left-hand contact on photo. Question: is there an electrical contacting glue I could use to stick contact to glass or any other work around? Thanks

I overcame the problem with a 75mm x 8mm screw on each leg of the runner. See photos

Nodge, thanks for reply Yes, all the seals are in place

I installed the new regulator from LR Trade Parts, relatively straight forward job BUT rear window does not go under the top plastic moulding when tailgate is shut, see photo. I have adjusted the bolts arrowed on photo to push the runners further back to alter the angle of the window but still...

See my thread https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/tail-gate-window-cables-again.376977/ Snap!!

Cables have broken on the tail-gate window on my 2006 FL 1 I've searched the forum, looked at the Youtube videos and the job looks doable :) Question, which is the best value regulator kit to buy? LR trade parts sell one for £37.95 on Ebay but you can get cheaper and more expensive. Is there...
