I fitted the tow bar to my Freelander myself and was amazed at how easy it was. I really don’t know why all LandRovers aren’t factory fitted with them as they are practically made to tow. An issue with the car was what I suspected on holiday so I took it to a garage for a check and the tow bar...

Thank you. I have already changed the pads. It sorted the horrific noise it was making at low speed but not the bang as I pull off.

Thanks. I might have to reassemble and test. From research and a YouTube video i saw I believe the issue I’m having must be the damper. When I pull away there is a sharp thud and when I brake the caravan thuds again. Also even though I have never towed before I believe a freelander should be...

On the one end it turns indefinitely without doing anything and the other end is ether unbelievably stiff or doesn’t turn as I cannot get it to turn. The damper will move enough to bring each end out of the enclosure something is stopping it coming out. I cannot find a bolt and I have had as...

I really hope someone can help me. I am getting really stressed about this now. I will put as much info as I can. I own a Compass Rallye GTE 490/4L 2000. It has an Alko 1300 stabiliser. I have driven it twice now and I have a noise when braking and pulling away. On further research I believe...

Thank you. I have spent the last year trying to become an expert on my caravan so I can keep it going for many years to come. She’s already an old girl at 24 years old. It’s been made very difficult as the caravan came with no paperwork so nothing to study.

I’ve tried everything. I’ve even emailed the company and they sent a manual that doesn’t look at all right to me. No one seems to own this caravan or is able to help track down any literature.

Thank you. I had found this but the the information inside is not what I have on/in my caravan. For example my alko tow hitch is an older version, leading me to believe that this is for newer caravans and that I need an older manual.

Hi I’m looking for paperwork for my caravan if anyone can help. I have a Compass Rallye GTE 490/4L 2000.

Yes I instantly fell in love with my Freelander. I’ve been learning to maintain it myself and being a landrover it has kept me busy. I have a Compass Rallye 490/4L 2000. It had no paperwork with it and I knew nothing about anything so I have had to learn everything including completely redoing...

Hi everyone. I’m new to this forum (I’m trying to get rid of all my social media so this is perfect). I use to go caravaning when I was a kid and they were the best holidays ever. Recently we had a huge rat infestation and was forced out of our house, we had 20mins to find accommodation and...

Hi I am trying to get any and all literature that would have come with my caravan. I bought it in need of some attention and it came with no paperwork at all. I have found an online manual but it isn’t for my caravan as it shows the wrong Alko tow hitch and other things that aren’t right.
