Thread: Freelander Accessories Fitting Instructions

G'day all,

My 1998 Freelander needs some accessories and TLC. TLC is in progress, accessories are on their way.
For those interested, the Flandie had a -as the missus put it - ear-drum bleeding drone. I thought it was an engine bush, but a couple of weeks ago the brakes would not release after the handbrake lever was released. The longer the handbrake was on, the more it took for the brakes to let go. Did not effect the driving or stopping. Went to Midas in Harbefield and the diagnosis wasn't good at all: both wheel cylinders were leaking badly, shoes soaked, drums needed machining... and (no surprise there) the front diff bush needed replacing. After all that and the drone is gone. I can drive at low rpms without being slapped across the head. One thing needing sorting out is a little 'click' from the rear (I think) everytime I need to do a slow, sharp turn... any ideas?

Anyway, back to the original issue.
First thing on the accessories list is an ABS A-bar. Used, with all the bolts and all, but no fitting instructions.
Second on the list is a set of fog lights (in the bumper). Again, no instructions and absolutely no idea how to connect them.

So, the the questions are:
Can anyone send me a set of fitting instructions for a genuine LR ABS A-bar? Can driving lights be fitted to one of these plastic jobbies? Not to fussed about the lights but would like to know.
What do I need in terms of pars and wiring to fit the bumper fog lights? Is the wiring there already? Are then normally connected together with the rear fog lights and so the same switch? Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

Yes. You'll need a Windows emulator of some kind.

However...... A chap on the RRNET forum has converted his RAVE disc to standard PDF and posted it up for others to download. Dunno if it includes the fitting instructions.
