Try doing a search for Simbar seem to remember they do on on a Freelander spare wheel.

Vcu Is that with the tipex test ?

. Freenelly thanks for the heads up on the gearbox! So if you were buying again you would go for the diesel?? Yes but with a manual gearbox

I have a 3dr with the roof rack and when reinstalling it i smother silicone on the body side of the bracket and tighten up. Wait till the silicone has hardened and trim off so none is visible. The internal brackets are a pig if you drop them they fall into the body and its a bit off a stretch to reach them.

Hi I have a 3dr Serengeti on a 02 plate and am very happy with it, The one thing i am asking is it an auto if so make sure the gearbox oil has been changed at 60k if not sooner as i have just had to replace the gearbox as i missed the 60k oil change. Apart from that i have used mine for towing my caravan and it does it with ease no problems ,i was lucky as it came with the roof bars , side steps and towbar ,(steps and towbar for sale if anyone interested ) Go for the TD4 much better engine than the Petrol.

I'm no expert but had the same problems in a 2002 td4 with 70k miles from 4th to 5th gear and lower when going up hills , for me is was a recon gearbox.Is it due for an oil change and don't know fully whether an oil change would help at this stage, if the damage isn't already done. as i say i am no expert so don't want to be the bearer of bad news just my experience.

True, Just i am really after something designed for a freelander don't want it to look like a bodge..LOL

Hi Does anyone know of a mudpod to fit a Freelander 1 dash ? rgds Neil

Having the same problem myself seems the latch comes as one unit and you can't change any parts inside so its a new latch when it fails . It isn't a very hard diy job but rave manual for the pics would be useful and the part can be found on fleabay . Rgds Nelly

Hi All My first post here , after an unfortunate Gearbox failure resulting in a £1100 repair bill for a recon i have sifted through this and other forums looking for posible weak points with my 2002 td4 Freelander. Gearbox well it is the Jatco auto and yes i did miss the oil change at 60k and it failed at 70k so i do feel guilty , looking around the question of the Crankcase breather came about so i changed it . The Lander wasn't suffering any of the symptoms i have read about but i think prevention is better than the cure , it is an easy job as mentioned on here by several of you . Are there any other points i should look out for ? i have done the oil and filter ,fuel filter have installed a k&n air filter i even changed the EGR Air Filter. What about the rear diff oil ?
