Mine - an 08 HSE - has just failed its MOT on corrosion at this spot on both sides. It has a leaky shock absorber too.
The problem is a bit of a surprise - a few months ago I had it in to a local L ... |

I'm a lazy so-and-so, and I have been taking my 08 HSE to a car wash rather than do it myself, but today the local ones are out of order so I got out the hose.
I was mighty surprised to see this di ... |

| Yes, everything is back to normal. I took the vehicle to AL Services and asked them to look it over as a precaution. They gave it a clean bill of health - all except for a dodgy tailgate wiper blade.

I worded my OP badly!
I'm aware of the map update disks available from a number of suppliers, thank you for the suggested links.
But apart from the maps themselves the software that drives the d ... |

I have a 2008 TD4 HSE. It has a Sat Nav that hasn't ever been updated.
It's my understanding that various software updates have been issued over the years by JLR, as well as map updates, and I'm aw ... |

I see in the owners' manual there is a warning - don't turn the steering wheel when the engine isn't running.

Ok, I have the vehicle back in my possession.
They discovered that all the glow plugs were defective, and replaced them. The Freelander starts OK, and doesn't smoke very much. It has been pointed o ... |
