JLR don't make anything for Freelander owners. They are more interested in very expensive cars full of gadgets that aren't that versatile. |

I would agree.
The four wheel drive diesels are very hard to find though. I've been looking for months.
Two hour drive to find this one. |

Did something similar to a MK2 Renault Clio.
Wet and dry sanded the lens, off the car. Then just sprayed it with lacquer. Lasted years. |

Common problem with the Denso starter.
The solenoid refurb kit is readily available for eBay. I think it is about £26 now.
Glad you got yours sorted.👍 |

Have you put anymore fuel in the tank?
