Anyone able to shed any light on this problem please? I have a 413 used for light off roading and for carrying logs out of woods. Every now and again I go on a longer run. When I do she buzzes along quite happily perhaps for thirty miles or so then suddenly begins to lose power until chugging to a halt on the hard shoulder. At that point no amount of cranking will start her. After ten minutes...

Hi Folks I'm after a set of roof rails (not the cross bars but the acutal rails) for my new to me Freelander but I'm a tight git and I dont want to pay alot! I see they go for about 150 quid upwards on ebay and my brother payed about 300 quid for his as an extra when he bought his from the main dealer. So does anyone know where I can get a cheap set? Many thanks Gareth

MAKE A FORTUNE - AND THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH! IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVED IT WORKS!! TAKE JUST 5 MINUTES TO READ THIS AND SEE!! Yes there is some risk, But think about the risk. You've only invested $6.00 and a little time. The real risk is you not following through and missing out on the chance

I MOT'd a mates Freelander last night and gave it a quick check over as he was complaining that if he puts it on full lock it feels like the brakes have come on, I took this as transmission wind up I check the viscous coupling and there is no movement between the input and output side I jacked one rear wheel up and tried to turn it to no avail as I understand it the coupling only 'locks' up when...

I've got an L reg Frontera LWB and the indicators have stopped working (including the hazards). Checked the fuse and it's OK so suspect a relay switch, does anyone know where the indicator one is located? Hayes mentions the relays but not which is which. TIA -- The Big Man

When will 4x4 drivers realise that having a 4x4 does NOT increase their braking performance in snow!!! It's snowing over the top of ice in Cumbernauld at the moment. One 4x4 was following me at a distance of about 10' he overtook me and ran in the back of a taxi! Two others looked like they had gone straight on at roundabouts.

Just buying a GV and planning to go around Europe in it for a few months. Obviously anything can go wrong but does anyone have any advice on what spares I should take. Are there any common problems. Cheers Paul

Do they have a cam belt or a chain ?. Had a test drive today of the diesel automatic, looked like a lot of car for the money. Many thanks Frank

Hi all I've got a 90 which normally just has a NATO hitch on the rear crossmember. I'm going to need to do some regular trailer towing more often and want an easily removeable towbar. I can recall seeing something in a UK magazine about 10 years ago where a guy used an agricultural trailer hitch to mount the towing ball. The eye went over the NATO hitch and hung vertically and he had two...

Does anyone know if the latest model Landcruiser Amazon wheels will fit a 1996 Landcruiser Colorado? TIA John

Hi folks, Anyone know a good place in the UK to get a metal box section or tube bumper to replace the moulded plastic one on the Jimny? Preferably one with recovery points and without bonnet protection bars (ie without half a bull bar on top). Cheers!

Hi folks I currently run a 1997 Teranno 2.7tdi which is mostly being used for the school run by the wife so it's costing a fortune to run! Hence, I'm going to downsize it for something alot better for the economy but I still need something capable of towing my 1400kg caravan, so the Freelander seems a good option. Trouble is, I'm on a budget of only 8500 quid. Looking through autotrader online...

Are there any good websites for a newbie to get his feet wet? Thanks in advance, Tal --------------------- This post is for entertainment purposes only.

We get many enquiries about towing on here. Most road / offroad vehicles are not designed for towing. Road cars are set up by the manufacturers to meet a number of criteria for 'everyman', including economy, accelleration etc. etc. They generally do not set up their vehicles as tow vehicles, so anyone using them as such puts the vehicle under undue stress. Just because Ford / Vauxhall etc rate a...
