Excellent presentation, like that you have a younger gentleman helping and learning. Just about to remove and rebuild the rear end of a Freelander for my daughter.
Got to be one of the best how to videos I’ve ever watched on RU-vid! Excellent work, you need to buy a Mercedes A class and make loads of videos on that.
Hi Guys, when removing the the top scrivets from the bumper please don't lever off the bumper, there s a chance you could split the top of the bumper, instead lever up the centre part of the scrivet not the whole of them, that way the centre comes out which can be throwed away and replace with stainless steel screws when re-fitting, good clear video.
Good work…but an old exFarmer Freelander might be filled with wet mud for years….mine rarely got wet but if I had it, I would be out there cleaning it like you have! Stay safe…😃😃😃😃😃Richard
Thank you for the video. in the process of rust protection the whole under side. Was wondering how to get the bumper off, very helpful. Regards from the Netherlands.
Great video cheers Simon/ Tyler....would you know where the fl2 remote central locking reciever is td4 xs...trying g to get my new key to work the locks everything else works but just not the fob buttons on both new keys used autel ap200 cheers
This is going to be super helpful in the next week or so, towbar to fit to 2013 FL2. It's got the sports bumper but I assume will be the same fitting points. Did you disconnect the battery for any of this work?
So I followed this and apart from rusted screws on the bottom of the bumper, the rest came apart easy. I've go no parking sensors when put it all back together though, and I was very careful removing all. The other issue is, the two bolts, one each side outside (internal) edge of bumper just below light unit. securing the top internal side area of the bumper, tight to get out, no idea how to get them back in to the fixed bolt you tighten. Can see them in this vid, but weren't included on how you removed and put them back. Ahh, maybe they aren't for the actual bumper... I'll replace when it's off again. Got to do it all again on Friday to fit the towbar...
I was thinking how good that silver Freelander would look with your "Black Edition" RRS style rear lights - only to see you no longer have them on the website. As I have these on my on mine (and bloody good they look too !) , would I be able to get a replacement if mine ever got damaged ? At the same time as removing and cleaning the rear bumper, it's a good idea to also remove the D pillars too. It's amazing how dirty they can get behind there and it also means you can clean the whole of the rear side windows ! Cheers Simon and Tyler. Another great video.
Hi, thank you for this video - it has been so helpful! I dented my bumper and was quoted £1000 to renew it but I thought I could push it out but didn't know how to get at it. But by removing the light as showed I could get into the dent and push it out! Only problem is that I need to know how the parking sensors fit as they don't seem to be sitting in the holes, they are very loose when I pushing them into the holes. How are they mean to be secured? Thanks
@@L663 thank you for replying. The sensors seem to sit in a oblong thing which I’ve decided to glue to the back of the bumper. It’s all good and I wouldn’t have been able to fix the dent without your video! 😊
@@L663 For extra storage in the boot, e.g. leisure battery, charging system, etc. This subject has come up frequently in FL2 groups and I am sure there would be quite a few takers.
we have them on our website PowerfulUK.com here is the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tBjqoddx8JA.html You fell straight into our sales trap !
Hi Simon, can you do a video on removing the interior front light surround please, my sunroof doesn't work and I want check the wiring, I've tried getting my fingers underneath the plastic trim but I can't seem to move it, I would appreciate it if you could demonstrate how it's removed, thanks.
Simon. I have a swing away spare carrier on the rear. I would like to reassure myself that the cross member is in good condition to carry the extra weight.(I wasn't present when it was fitted). The plan was to go to the arctic circle this summer, but maybe next year.
@@martinbradshaw692 Make sure to fit mudflats and consider paintwork protection film because the roads can disappear for months. They repair them by digging and removing the entire road down to the gravel foundations then leave the permafrost to thaw out for about two months during which time it is just driving through rubble! Then they rebuild the entire road surface again ready for the winter but driving through that gravel is concerning and can go on for 10-15 miles at a time…at very regular intervals. Good luck…suitably prepared, it is an experience to remember! 😃😃😃😃
