Yesterday I had the wheels aligned. The nearside rear was a pig as the suspension is all original on that side but the guy used Oxy to heat the nuts and they moved easily. All the rest had been loosened before so were not too bad but the job...

Front wheels balanced and all vibration at totally legal road speeds now gone 💪

There are lots of threads on here about the 'center engine mount'. Its a tie bar that bolts between the subframe and the IRD bracket which itself is bolted to the engine. There are a couple of types (IIRC rounded and hexagonal ends being the...

I agree the immobiliser chip is in the key not fob. So maybe they expect you to have the original key rather than getting 1 cut or replacement key and barrel. However, it does say... If you cannot start your Freelander this replacement key fob...

It has been discussed on LZ before a few times, here's a Google search listing hits...

This seams to imply it is for both alarm and immobiliser, however, it may just be the alarm. worth checking though... https://www.remotekey.co.uk/shop/land-rover/freelander-1/land-rover-freelander-1-key-fob/

I agree, the TD4 is a great all rounder. The feeling I get is that the I6 would be expensive to run and parts, the I4 would be better being a Ford engine but don't think they were available in UK and would only be at the tail end of your year range.

2.2 TD4 in the FL2 👍 Perfect - plenty of grunt

I think you will have to get a key and remote from a LR garage who can program it. Failing that you are going to need to get all sorts of bits from a breakers. Which bits depends on the year. Mine has the immobiliser chip in the fob, not the...

The DSG gearbox ion the Octavia was very nice in many ways but (I guess) because it had clutches rather than a torque converter the engine could not build up revs before engaging the auto clutch. It was fine on the flat but pulled away really...

When my daughter bought her first car she wanted a Mazda 2/Demio. The 3rd gen version about 2010. They were all 1.3 autos and were terrible piles of pooh. She had been driving our 90's 1.3 manual Toyota Starlet and even she was devastated at...

It's not perfect, but I quite like it. i think that maybe the gearbox assumes that the engine has more torque than it does, so it does take a fair bit of accelerator depression before it "kicks down", but I actually quite like that. I can...

This is the one I'm thinking of... https://landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/baffling-to-me-front-half-shaft-axle-length-mystery-too-short-twice.394540/

Do you still have the old drive shaft? When you get the one in question off, and the new one - compare to the old one. It appears there are some being distributed that are not the exact same dimensions - they are a few mm difference in some...

You have no excuses for dirty smalls now! Hope the job works out.

Spot the difference a day makes in Canterbury when a foehn norwest wind heating up warm Tasman air as it comes off the Southern Alps turns southerly dragging up cold Antarctic air from the Southern Ocean.

A juddery nightmare. Hope you can get it sorted soon.

Actually, I was pondering that today whilst toodling along at about 45mph - thought the revs sounded a bit high - and pondered popping the lever over and changing gear myself. I've only ever put it into manual control coming down long steep...

Here's a tip for improving the mpg on an auto FL2. Snick the gear knob to the left and change up a gear manually a bit earlier than it would in auto. On a long 'A' road run, where you could be sitting all day at 50 or 60 mph in 5th gear, you can...

Which is fine if the box or TC doesn't pack a sad. In which case, you have a far bigger bill than replacing a clutch.
