Yes I’ve done the cable tie repair, seems ok for now, otherwise a fiver for the repair kit is reasonable.

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e GS Manual Zermatt Silver

Glove box damper.
I recently purchased a new one for £30 from ebay.
Had to come from Lithuania.
Worth a look though. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

Mine doesn't seem to have a damper at all. It just flops open onto its stops. Where should the damper be located? Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

It’s been removed by the spanner’s who put a new pollen filter in , because he wrecked it getting th glovebox out !!

So they wrecked a £100 damper fitting a £30 filter - great Evil or Very Mad

Its not difficult getting the glove box out without breaking the damper- it just requires a modicum of thought. But I guess that's the problem. Jules

I believe one of the the Ford Mondeos has a very similar damper which fits in the FL2 but I dont know which model year that is . Jules

So, when I acquired my 2008 LR2, the damper was already broken. I replaced it in 2019 with a LR newer version that was grey and black. It was for a different model. The replacement however never retained the resistance of the original which was broken,, not connected, but still left in partial place. I would never buy another if this one breaks. The fix from P UK is a good addition but their shipping to Canada would make the LR version attractive Big Cry Razz

The Mondeo Mk 4 is close to the FL2 with a lot of parts

Mine is the grey and black one. Unfortunately the black top came away from the grey tube. They are dissimilar plastics and I couldn't get them to glue back together. In the end I used a glue gun to form a cap of glue all over the black top and part way down the sides of the grey tube. Looks a mess but works. Jules
