Who knew

So, finally got round to fixing the bum passenger side turn signal and while I was in there I wanted to replace the broken front side marker lamp assembly. Who knew, this item is from a 2003 Land Rover Freelander!
BTW, pulling the fender liner out was just as horrible the second time around as it was the first time when I had to fix a busted fuel filler flap

Indeed, it is. At the time, Ford owned Rover, and Aston, hence the Aston wings on the calipers. Part of the "Premier Group" if I recall.

The fender liner sucks. I did it twice in the last year, because I was foolish, and only cleaned the contacts of the turn signal lamp, vs changing it. Changed it the 2nd time.... Do use dielectric grease on the lamp

you can always get a second set of liner and turn them into a two piece design to make removal and install much easier..

Totally agree... Or just cut your originals in half and buy the molded “coupler” strip kit with rivets from BMF/Dan Schoneck, takes 10 minutes and makes the job much easier and less dreadful next time you need to go back in there. Although once you wrestle with them a few times, it gets easier.

And if you do this, you won't ever have to pull it again!

Doesn’t help the reality is very different from the manual - there’s way more fasteners holding in the liner than the book specifies

Heat can help. Just must be cautious. Flexibility is the goal, obviously not permanent bending.

I do this on ever car I own and ever car I work on as the customer allows. Oem inner fenders are $1000.00 for the pair now and you ruin one half of them and one half of the old set to make them work.

My deal is $250.00..

There is a thread here some where about some of the other "parts bin" items on the car. The steering column, window switches, wheel bearings (but there has been debate on that). The list is actually surprisingly small.

like the starters plastic connector(you know the one that melts when you install long tube headers) having a Toyota part number?

Wanna bet? Like an increasing number of GT parts - Discontinued.

The one that gets crispy even with a stock exhaust, with track use, also? I did not. I did however get some DEI heat shielding to make it better (not that the GT will see much track use any longer)

Waiting until Summer helps with heat/pliability.
