... some friends of mine had the same matter...it could be some radio interference, as you know the back window could be open by the keyfob if you press it for 3-4 sec when the LRF is locked, you couln't close it by keyfob, only by key from the backdoor or open the driver door and push the button.

ceers.

O.T. : @ Darren: where did you find the door protection? Did you fit those by yorself? Nice..

No news around this? Maybe a new coulb be interesting...

my uncle was a fisherman, he keeps telling me i need to grind an area clean on the chassis and fit a sacrificial anode (as this what they used on the boat), this then rots befor the aluminium and steel due to it being lower in the galvanic series hence protecting the steel and ally.
Tim.
we spoke about this solution in an italian Land Rover Forum, and everybody wrote that this is a right way for boats not for cars... to let work the sacraficial anode you will put all the materials in a conductive liquid (water and salt)to perform just like a battery, anyway the study to position of anode is very difficult, there are a lot of test to calculate the right place of galvanic current!

..WOH!! what fantastic cut off in front!...and the wheels!..Why my wife don't let me do the same?
-
..about ABS...I realized a simply circuit to disconect the ABS central unit, just a relè (normaly close)with a swicht that put it ON and so disconnect the power supply of ABS's electronic control,just to disconnect ABS service in O.R. so i can block the wheels. Naturally the HDC don't work. Someone told me that is better to reconnected the ABS electronic service (put the swicht off) whit keypanel is OFF.
It's very interesting to use in a short discend when HDC is to long to drive you down.
What do you think?
P:S: I use it a very few times

.... I bought the car with a blown IRD box because the lunatic that owned it had put different size tyres on the front and the back!
Th
what can you explain more about this??

I buyed my free by second hand when it had 64k km in 2005 (it's a 2000y), now it have 120k km and I've got a lot of noises, head gasket, water pump,rear diff,sunroof,
but over this I love it a lot, it take me on a offroad trak at the same way of a disco and it running good on freeway (whet it's going well)
I spend a lot of my freetime to work arond it...now it's time for a Disco but Free is a great light offroad.
-
I passed through the same way, after change the battery no more sound, but before I didn't suppose that the sound advertise me about the battery was going to dead,...
Remember to change the battery in the second key too!!!
After a bad experience with that now i have a new battery inside the car right to be replace!
-
when my key fob died (battery) i don't have any signal from the dash,i can only open the driver door and nothing more, at that moment I was without the code to unlock the car....I was very lucky, my brother give me the battery from his Discokey!
-
this was my first time OR..after that many more times...
-
maybe I post some photo (if i be able!)
-
...same problem,same solution. Who's solded that wire?
-
I've just the same problem...I was starting for a meeting (650km from home)and I went to change the oil of front / rear differentials, few day after (250km later)i was on freeway,100-110km/h and the rear diff lost the oil,very bad situation,..ok after all...dismounting the diff, and the mechanical said: "it look not very good, but if it mine i try to change only the bearing (a set of 4)" For me it was OK and he did it. At the moment the diff give a bad noise, just like an bearing go wrong, and this I could understand, but it go very hot after few km ,not more than 10km and it's impossible to touch,more than the exaust on the back.
At the moment I try to find a replace diff to mount,
What do you think about the VCU bearing ?, can they do the noise that I hear?
It's a Free 1,8 petrol, 2000,120k km.
