.....what is a No. 8 plastic door detail?

The top of the protruding lower plastic door trim (at front) is a guide to wading depth.




Also, I had noticed the inverted arrows on the trim (no 27) but didn't realise that was the jacking marker points.


A very well thought out motor indeed


Edited to add: my rear 'cigarette lighter' is a live power socket with a lift off cover over it.

I didn't realise the boot tray thingy was reversible! Black FL2

Yes, sorry I misled, just the socket there with a dust cover, no actual cig lighter there.

Good job he doesn't travel in boot then

My '07 has a power socket in the rear top corner of the centre console but I don't have one in the boot.

My 57 plate HSE doesn't either.

Late 2009 and 2010 had a few changes prior to 2011 facelift.
Add Bluetooth, remove temporary spare wheel, add tyre repair kit and offer full size alloy for £180. All FL2's (3) Gone

Very interesting no 15 mirrors fold to reduce drag, I never thought to fold them in when driving,missed a trick there! :

They only fold or unfold at a set speed ( 10mph or 15mph? someone else might know the right figure ) IT caught me out a few times when I first got the freelander On my i20 Hyundai you could elec fold the mirrors at any speed so if you was going down a side road or a tit on a push bike was hogging the road you could say at 20mph fold them in and then back out once pasted, but not on the freelander

To keep them in say on a motorway to reduced drag you would have to fold them in before getting on and open them up when you get off Don't think that's all to safe

Guess they do this because the mirrors are not very sleek and the motor might fail or burn out at 50mph plus to push its self open against the wind pressure


Good read though  Freelander 57 plate XS Blue Auto

Plus illegal as you need two rear view mirrors!

The mirrors fold close at any speed and re open at any speed also  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Mirror fold on the move doesn't work on mine, I haven't tried at very low speed though, i.e. 5mph.
