New freelander owner

[Dunkwho]

Hi everyone - Duncan calling. We're the very happy owners of a 5 door 53 Freelander (square headlights whatever body shape that is), its a td4 Kalahari. To be honest it was quite a surprise to find ourselves buying a freelander on the 21/12 ! We've a baby due at the end of January and with between my Honda Integra type-R and my wife's pug 206cc we were hardly ideally setup for our new roles :) A scenic was on the cards until a chance conversation between my folks and their neighbour - 1 freelander about to be traded in and more than happy for us to take it instead. I've always wanted something hugely capable that you can rely on - granted we don't live in the middle of no-where but the Dunstable to Hemel Hempstead trek by back lanes every day can be fun in the winter, all the excuse I need ! :)

Couple of things to sort out ... 1) whats this LR allen key thing that came with the car!?, 2) where can i get a rear right upper light guard without paying through the nose, 3) similarly roof bars to go across the rails, 4) having JUST bought a bluetooth car kit with ISO connectors for the integra I now find myself wanting to fit it to the LR, but its got BMW connectors from what I gather. Happy to swap headunits but what about the changer under my seat - is it a standard unit that will plug into a sony\alpine\pioneer\whatever HU?

Cheers all - you'll find me lurking in the freelander forums !

He Blippie
Have you been at the Gaydon run last april
I was standing almost next to a Camel Freelander (one Disco in between)at the factory
Verry cool those Camel Freelanders

""Ja, herinneren wij de dames in rood 90!"

Yes, we remember the ladies in the red 90!

It was a fun day. I enjoyed the Solihull to Gaydon run, though it was the first time we had driven with a flag and I was worried it was going to fly off! The plaque still has pride of place in our car.

I enjoyed looking at the photos on your website. You are well travelled!

We will be going to Gaydon again for 2007 and hopefully the run too.

Cheers

Duncan, I have an ISO radio Mute BMW type for a freelander nocking around the office. We bought it and then the land rover was no longer part of our fleet.

Yours if you want it (and i can find it)

[Satancom]

Ok wasn't hard to find, also have the mount for the phone holder, its a no drill on and clips behind the heater controls :)

Pm me your address

[Dunkwho]

Ah - how very kind ! :)
Doesn't look like I can PM at the moment (post count I wonder?) and I can't email you from your profile. I'd be very grateful if you could post them out to me:

Welcome to the forum :)

Hello friends

In the past, we have owned ex-MOD 109, and then a little 90.

Went out yesterday and bought a Freelander 1.8 GS.

A little bit chewed, is it a real Landy, in the past, people used to flash at me (their lights that is), and we felt as though we were part of a secret club.

Will pick up Freddy the Freelander on Saturday, he is green. If you see us in the NE of England, give us a flash, make my day! (Lights that is!).

Cheers

Oh by the way, does anyone know where I can get a key fob with the Landy logo on. Have ordered the dog guard and boot liner today, Hamsterley Forest on Sunday, Wooh!:)

[Dunkwho]

SantaCom - thanks ever so much for the kit, it all arrived today. I'm overwelmed, I was expecting a bmw-iso cable or something basic like that but the kit you've sent through is excellent - should have me up and hands-free in no time.

Thanks again,
Duncan
