Unfortunately my car only has a small black and white screen at the top of the console and no smaller screen mid way down as in this youtube video.

The screen prompts me to select phones, then I tap on the screen and it doesn't progress further.

Hello, I purchased a 2013 Freelander TD4 a few months back. Great vehicle to drive!! It has the phone buttons on the steering wheel and main console. It also has what is called the low line head unit at the top of the console. It is an Australian exported version, if that differs from the UK...

Hello, thanks for everyone's advice on the transmission filter location on the 188. Turned out it is a mk 11 and the filter is inside the pto lever side access panel. Found the filter near impossible to access from the side and trying to wire it back up would have been a problem too. Decided...

Cheers, thanks for that. Have a black poly one piece length with foot valve on end, but didn't put it on as its on flotation and needs to be pulled out when the river rises. The position was awkward, so joined 6 mtr lengths of 6 inch pvc and fixed in place so never needs to be removed.

Multipower not working, but ipto engages fine.

I believe it has pressure control hydraulics which is the section of the quadrant in front of position and you slide the position lever forward to use it. All our 100 series have it even the ones prior to 72 build. The serial no. indicates a 72 build on this 188, and I have heard the filter may...

Ok next fix on this MF 188 got the pto seal housing out. Is it two piece with the rubber o ring in the middle? If two piece what is the best way to get them apart? And do you need to get them apart to pull the seal out or just give the seal a hit towards the front of the tractor to dislodge...

Hello, we have an MF 188 that was sitting for two months. The 3pl isn't lifting and prior to this was lifting a sizeable transplanter. It has a filter under the left side of the hood near radiator which I understand to be for the multipower. I went underneath and it doesn't have the triangle...

Hello, Recently purchased a 2013 Freelander 2 TD4. Thanks for the tips I received here earlier. It's been a nice car to drive! Noticed on the weekend the passenger side headlamp had the small circular LED lamp fall out. This is the one at the bottom inner corner of the headlamp assembly...

Not a lot of ploughing done on our place in the last 50 years. Instead we rip the ground before every crop as we grow vegetables, and the fields see a lot of traffic at harvest time. We always use some level of draft say midway on the dial for ripping to give the ripper a bit of a kick as we...

Hello, Looking to replace an 8 inch diameter suction pipe on one of our pumps. The old one is steel, and must have been bore casing. Would be 30 years old. The suction is 15 metres long with a foot valve. We pump off the river. What are you using in the UK for this size suction? We use...

Hello, Looking to replace the suction on one of our irrigation pumps. It is 8 inch (200mm) diameter. The old one was steel, probably bore casing pipe that lasted over 30 years. We irrigate off the river and suction length is 15 metres with a foot valve. Just looking at what farmers are using...

It has 149k kilometres. The whine I can hardly pick up on it. Hopefully just common for this model as you say. Yes its auto. Didn't check service manual for oil changes. If I go ahead with it I will have to do them myself.

A few weeks back I asked Freelander vs Discovery, and thanks for the insights. Found a 2013 Freelander 2, 2.2lt diesel in good nick. Some things came up though which I would like some opinions. Was hardly audible but could be whine in trans or diffs. Pushed it on hills and down hill but...

An MF 398 is generally a reliable tractor. Not much electronics, just a few like 4wd and diff engagement. New and used parts are plentiful. Cab not the roomiest but comfortable for short stints. If you are after a bit more room an MF 4255 is the succesor to the 398. Best 4 cyl of that era to...

Interesting insights. I am a vegetables grower outside Sydney Australia. We also have a small wholesaling business in Sydney Markets, selling our produce and other external lines After covid business in the Markets has slowed considerably for us small grower sellers. Providores have downsized...

When you look at it, up until the release of the 2000 series, MF had no MFWD in the 1005 series. Having duals on the 1005's gave them plenty of traction but in the UK I'd say they weren't a feasible option so the 1200 would have been a superior tillage tractor compared to these 2wds. Would...

Thanks for the info. Yes down here the similiar vintage Disco's and even Range Rovers are only asking a few thousand A$ over Freelanders.

Hello, Down here in Oz looking for a diesel Freelander 2. I have read here they are generally more reliable of the LR offering, Are the diesel 2.2 litre engines OK? Local chap has a diesel Disco 3 that looks in good nick for its age. It has had a good service history although has 260 000...
