Recently changed my rear cluster as it was smashed
Noticed last week when I pressed the break it was putting on the front lights
This was a faulty wire that came with the new rear light cluster, put my old one on and its fixed.
Weird thing that.
Anyway I have just serviced my Lseries 2.0 D and its running sweet, over 200k miles. replaced pretty much all of the suspension, recond the starter motor myself with a kit off ebay, new battery obviously all the belts including the timing chain and pulleys. Im running in two wheel drive at the moment as my vcu was ****ed but apart from that its great. Never let me down once. The only issues i ever seem to have are electrical but its a 1998 car is 17 years old. Flys through the MOT every year odd spots of welding and running without a maf. Pulls really strong great cars dont beleive the bad hype. Also not a spot of rust on it and paintwork looks brand new never hardly ever clean it and its seen its fair share of mud and off road when it had 4x4 working. I love my freelander.
Only thing i have an issue with at the moment is the gearbox side engine mountain has gone and its maindealer only part £250 anyone know if you can buy new bushes to put in, iv not had it off as i couldnt but the part but replaced all others engine is twisting a bit only noticed when took off the prop so assuming this was taking alot of the strain, and also why my rear prop bushes went every year not that they are expensive.
anyone have a fix for that mountain would be a great help cant seem to find a good one at scrappers they all seem ****ed. Seen before people tallking about polly bushes is it possible to take the bushes out of the old mountain unit and put in new rubber or a polly replacement?
