[Water]

I have just acquired a 2004 HSE.The compartment at the rear where the jack is stored is soaking wet,any idea where it will be coming from please. 

[TAILGATE.]

Yes,got it sorted thank you,broken wire.

[Insurance]

I recently got my local garage to remove propshafts,vcu etc from my 2001 Freelander GS so i now have a 2 wd vehicle.I thought i would do the right thing and inform my insurance company,Swinton.They immediately cancelled my insurance.I have had a quote upto £600,last year i paid £222 fully comp.I have had a clean licence for 55 years,full NCD and no accidents.Some company's will not touch it as it has been "modified".

Has anyone had the same problem and do you know of an insurance company who will insure.

Thanks.

[TAILGATE.]

How do i open the tailgate door on my 2001 GS.The micro switch is not operating when i move the handle.

[Rear Tailgate]

The tailgate door would not open on my 2001 GS,there was no click when i tried to open it.I replaced exterior handle,the old one was badly corroded.The door still will not open,any ideas please,what else could be wrong with it.Thanks.

[Side steps.]

Thanks for that,i thought there would be a catch.

[Side steps.]

Will side steps for a Freelander 2 fit a Freelander 1.I have noticed that steps for the 2 are far cheaper than the 1.

Thanks.

[Petrol Tank]

I would be grateful if any one could tell me if it is much of a job to replace petrol tank straps on a 2001 GS.Thanks.

[Warning lights.]

Thank you for that.

[Warning lights.]

My amber warning lights for HDC,ABS AND TC are on most of the time,they went out yesterday but back on today.I have checked the stop light switch and the wiring on the HDC switch.Other than the fact they are there how do i check them.?Also where is the ABS sensor and how do i check that.I have a 2001 GS 1.8.Thank you.

[Fuel Tank straps]

Has anyone had anything to do with fuel tank straps on a 2001 GS.Mine has just passed its MOT.

The advisory has said they will need replacing before next year,i have been told about £200 to replace,is it a DIY project.Thank you.

[Window seal.]

The window sealing rubber on the windscreen on my GS i keeps coming out.I have tried Superglue to no avail,any ideas the best glue please.

[Rear Window]

Try disabling the rear passenger windows and the tailgate by removing the fuses. I got my Freelander Kalahari 2003 with no electrics working on the tailgate, rear passenger windows and the sunroof. However, my tailgate leaks when it rains !

I wanted to know if i could disable the window but still open the door.I now know that is not possible as the window has to drop to open the door.

[Rear Window]

Can i isolate my rear window on my 1.8 GS but still open the door.There is a fault on the window,every now and again it goes down.I have tried removing the fuse but when i do that i am unable to open the door.

[Roll bar bushes]

Can i replace the anti roll bar bushes without removing the under-tray on my Freelander 1.

[Window regulator]

Is it much of a job to replace the o/s front window regulator on a 2001 GS,please.

[Window]

Thanks for that Chris.

[Window]

I have encountered a problem with the o/s front window on my 2001 GS.

The window goes down but when it tries to go up it jams on one side.I took the door panel of to get the window back up and it seems to go up one edge but not the other.In other words it is trying to go up lop sided.I cant see what the problem is so i have disconnected the window.Any ideas please.

[2WD vs 4WD]

Thanks all,dont think i will bother.

[2WD vs 4WD]

I have a 2001 1.8 GS.Now that better weather is on its way i have been told to get better MPG,I could convert it to 2 WD and fit a blanking plate,reverting back in winter.Has anyone done this please.

[CIGARETTE LIGHTER]

Is it possible to remove the cigarette lighter from my Freelander,without removing the console.

[Viscous Coupling]

Parking or just turning left,not going fast.

[Viscous Coupling]

Thanks for that.Everything appears okay,no knocks/clunks or groans.The only thing i have noticed,turning left the front tyre squeals even if it is wet.The other day a 14 plate Range Rover was parking and his tyres did the same.

[Viscous Coupling]

What are the signs that the viscous coupling has seized on my Freelander 1 and how do i check it.Thank You.
