With reference to the bearings, i asked a chap at the Lincoln Landrover he told me there wasn't a specific way the bearings went in ? So i asked a friend on mine who is a Military Vehicle boffin and a High Voltage electrician, he tested the old bearings with a magnet testing tool. The old bearings had no magnetic properties whatsoever ?
Has anyone on this forum ever tested their bearings ? It would be interesting to see.
Thanks Andy

on the bearings, it has what's called an abs magnetic impulse ring ,

wonder if the wrong bearings were fitted to ur landy , so that's why ur lights are now coming up

if u have a look on the link will also show u with regards to vin numbers

if you go to a good parts shop and order some for a 2006 freelander then you will get the type with magnetic sides which must face outwards but earlier freelanders do not have this

I think people that are not used to the land-rover brand don't understand how many different variations of one part are fitted to these cars. It's understandable when you see how many different manufacturers have owned the brand.

Anyway, we know that you know what your talking about

It just takes a while for other peeps to get up to speed.
