The window not going up correctly is an easy fix, it's in the handbook, it just needs resetting. Why it's decided to play up, who knows But more to the point what is this Jeep you speak of

As for the electrical thing, I suggest putting the original bulbs back in and seeing if it still goes wrong.. If the reset mentioned doesn't work

I knew that it was a typo . interestingly the 'duck' has the same chassis as the GMC truck my mate also owns, so its more of a truck that floats than a boat that drives. It has a few clever features for a 40's vehicle such as altering the tyre pressure from the drivers seat.

"Cheep" would have been a better name  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Ah! Cheap maybe but they dont have electric windows or LEDs to worry about

So perhaps we should call our doctors 'jeeps' not 'quacks' cos the're GPs not Ducks
