[A couple of things please...]

hi there yes there is a small trailer light flashes when you turn it is on the right hand side on dash board make sure you wire into the right place

[dash board lights]

These 3 lights are common - the 3 Amigoes

They indicate a fault somewhere in the ABS system normally. Anything from the wire on the HDC switch disconnecting to wheel sensors.

Did you have the lights before the keyfob battery problem? Have you driven the car? The ABS will self check the wheel sensors as you drive and switch off the lights if the fault clears.

As the other man said - search for the 3 amigoes on here loads of info.

drives fine everything normal before key fob battray went dead thanks broon

[dash board lights]

hi having problem after motor would not start found out that the battery in the key fob was flat and the immobilser was still on with the alarm off.

put new battery in key fob motor started a ok but the abs,tc,and the hd dash board lights have stayed on i have a 2lt turbo diesel 1999 freelander can anyone help thanks broon

[What gear oil??]

hi there you need different oil for gearbox and ird unit landrover where doing gear oil for £18 1 liter up with us

[New freelander owner with a few questions]

Rear diff mountings worn, most probably the front one. Easy to replace.

A good quality leather feed/saddle soap, or even try your local furniture store as they normally sell leather products for settees, etc.

DON'T use engine oil on plastic! it might look nice but it doesn't do it any good. If really dirty try some PVC garden furniture cleaner, and then any of the good quality bumper products. Have even heard of people using smooth peanut butter (??)

Lastly, join the Freelander Club (www.freelanderclub.co.uk) and get out and get it muddy!!

hi there i use cherry boot polish on bumpers came up like new just put on with brush wipe with clean cloth seals them and will be easer to keep up

[Freelander grating on me]

The dreaded 'please diagnose this noise from a written description' time again!

Friend's late 90's 1.8. Makes 'grating' noise when moving. Been doing it 'for some time'.

No better, no worse when braking (and nothing trapped in pads). So not brakes?

Still does it with clutch peddle down. Same in all gears. So not gear box?

No better, no worse when cornering. So not diffs?

Doesn't do it when stationary. So not engine?

Wheel bearings appear to be ok.

Viscus coupling? I've not come across a failing one so how do you tell?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

hi there could be your ird unit my one did the same it has all the same as you have said
