Hi guys I just thought I would e-mail you a few remarks on your You tube Video on how to replace the Freelander 2 manual gearshift cover. I feel you missed a few important items in it, such as the pins that hold the starwasher are very fragile and will snap with ease, also the fact that the original leather cover is actually glued and hot pressed in areas all around the black frame. I send this not as a criticism but a review to you, your video convinced me it would be an easy task an it is anything but. but then, " it is a Land Rover lol.
Francesco Daria I'm thinking of buying a 2008/ 110 k miles/ for $ 5,750...¿ are they too costly in GAS / REPAIRS ???? Also, ¿ did you get any answer on the STICK KNOB/ GAITER change for automatic version ?. Thank you !
Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue with my gear stick which has become loose on 5&6th, there so the lever is going too far to the right. Can you help me fix the problem pls?
Not seen this one - there are not too many parts to the change - its seems to control 2 changes - check the joints at the end of the cables. Other than that it could be in the gearbox - see below parts pic www.dropbox.com/s/lqmuf1k48h8nhsx/freelander%20gear%20change.JPG?dl=0
Having a real problem sliding down the top part of the gaiter to get the knob off. It just doesnt slide down at all. Any suggestions as to how to slide that down without breaking anything?
To add an update, it looks like someone had replaced this before me and superglued the gaiter on at the top. But the superglue had run and stuck the plastic to the metasl gearstick. Mole Grips and persistence managed to shift it in the end
It's not quite so straightforward as these guys make out - you'll need superglue at least as you will need to break some components and rip others that are glued apart - not impossible, but this doesn't represent the difficulty at all.
I was replacing the gaiter - All the spire clips broke off the rivets they were attached to - this seemed inevitable as they appear to be single use. The gaiter was in fact glued to the rectangular template meaning these had to be carefully teased apart to avoid damage to the template - likewise the rectangular lug that sits atop the gear column and holds the gaiter in place had glue holding it in place. So - some fiddly supergluing was required to hold the new gaiter in to the template and then I tried to attach the broken spire clips back onto the broken end of the rivets. The replacement looks fine, but under the surface its a bit of a botch - I can't see how anyone could get those spire clips off without a specialist tool.
@@L663 Have to agree with Mark - The spire clips were a nightmare to remove and on some took away the tops of the rivets - had to deploy Superglue when fitting the replacement gaiter but it has worked (hope the replacement gaiter lasts another 10 years as the original did!) - other than that thank you for the video which made lifting the gear console and removing it a piece of cake.

Hi - thanks for the extra info - I have pinned your comment to the top of the comments so other people can benefit from your extra info !
Thank you, I just bought a FL2 and I'm going to be replacing gear knob as it arrives 😁
That was simple and straightforward sir,thank you so much.😊
Glad it helped
Those spire / star lock clips were trickier to tease off than finding the girlfriend’s g-spot.
Thank for taking the time to educate us!!
you are welcome !
Thank you very much indeed😊
Thank so much for a great detailed video !!!
Hardly. He took one clip off and didn't show install or full remove.

Hi i have a question do you think that an universal shift knob will fit the LR2. Do you happen to know what's the diameter of the shaft or gear stick?

Hi - i do state that sometimes you are not so lucky removing the spire clips. What parts did you break ?

i didnt need anything other than a gentle leverage to lift the gear console away from the plastic drive tunnel body
@@L663 Have to agree with Mark - The spire clips were a nightmare to remove and on some took away the tops of the rivets - had to deploy Superglue when fitting the replacement gaiter but it has worked (hope the replacement gaiter lasts another 10 years as the original did!) - other than that thank you for the video which made lifting the gear console and removing it a piece of cake.
Totally agree Mark. Just used superglue after exact same issue...nightmare....so fiddly!
