Ok guys, what extensions do you use to get the nut out from behind the haldex (drivers side - top) so I can change the oil and filter on my gen 4.

I had been getting an odd rumble which in all the world sounded like a "cattle grid rumble"

Saw on another forum same query and suggesting a complete autobox flush.

Well , i have had a complete flush and the car is running perfect, no noise, no rumbles.

Hello all,
<br />
On my 2007 i6 with full Alpaca leather, there's no arm rests on the front seats.
<br />
I would like to know if anyone has installed the two arm rests later on. I feel through the leather, as if there's a "round" hole underneath the leather on the inside if the side of the back rests.
<br />
<br />
If doable, could i have some hints to how to?
<br />
<br />
And maybe someone know where to actually get them?
<br />

Subject: Strange “flapping” noise<br />Posted: 16th Mar 2024 2:27 pm (GMT 0)<br /><br /><span class="postbody">
At 50 mph or more I have a noise which sounds like something is flapping in the wind and banging against the underside of the car. I wondered if it was mudflaps (it isn’t) or even a seatbelt or similar hanging in the wind. It isn’t. There’s nothing obvious hanging down, or loose.
<br />
<br />
It’s very predictable and definitely road speed related, not engine speed related.
<br />
<br />
Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, what was it?
<br />
<br />
Thanks

Mine is a 2013 2.0L petrol with a persistent P0420 code that hasn't gone away after running through multiple cleaner products via fuel tank. I haven't found anything with steps for how to remove the cat. Wondering if anyone has any pointers. Did find a Ford Escape with same engine on YouTube and looked to me a LOT of parts to remove to get at the exhaust section with the cat.

I am replacing my gaiters as they have fallen completely apart.

I did get the gear gaiter off, and the gaiter for the handbrake itself is easy, but I cannot see how the rubber/plastic handle on the handbrake comes off?

I have run into the weirdest issue I can think of - the upstream o2 sensor socket on my car is NOT the right shape to accept an LR001459 plug from ANY vendor.
<br />
<br />
No, the harness was not modified. The socket is original and is not damaged. It simply will not fit.
<br />
<br />
I have been told, however, that this problem is not unheard of and has happened to other owners, particularly with early VIN's. If so, which upstream sensor do I have to buy that will work???<br /><br /><a href="https://www.freel2.com/forum/post440000.html?#440000">view forum post</a><br />_________________<br />2008 US LR2 SE, 6-cyl gas</span><br />

FIrst of all, let me just say that I am not in the UK and I cannot get the English brands apart from Castrol, that many of you seem to talk about.

On my Freelander 2 from 2007, an i6 automatic, I need to change the gearbox oil, the haldex oil, and what ever differential oil is needed. so basically it all.

Engine oil, I am not in doubt about and have done already.

From what I can see there is:

and

Hello all,

Enjoying my "new" Freelander 2 i6, I'd like to install a winch.
<br />
So, having a 2007 model, that is the old style front bumper. I have watched videos on flutube of an install of a winch on this type, and it works well, until there's a cut in the front bumper, that I don't like. I realise that it may be needed, but maybe more elegant solutions are at hand?

Looking at the facelifted 2010 front bumper, the grille is moved up a lot and there's...<br /><br /><a href="https://www.freel2.com/forum/post439856.html?#439856">view forum post</a></span><br />
