    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Spend a couple of hours under the FL1. Initially I was wanting to add an extra aluminium washer to the first gear switch on the g'box to see if I could get rid of the amber HDC warning lamp. But I could find the right washer anywhere :( So I hard a good look at the VCU bearings and rubber...

    Freelander 1 Suspension Noise

    A knocking of clonking? Possible noise from the front end = Anti roll bar [ARB] bushes cheap & easy to fix. OR Drop links are worn out [they connect the ARB to the strut]. Again a pretty easy fix and not expensive either. Rear end Noise: could be a number of things. When cornering and under...

    Amber HDC lamp - won't go out.

    I've been tinkering with this problem for a while now but feel defeated. I must have missed something obvious. Late last year I replaced the clutch in my'98 K series FL1. All seemed to go well and the clutch works beautifully now. However, I have the amber HDC warning lamp lit on the dash. On...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    So after 11 years of owning my FL1 I finally got around to getting the rear window washer working. I made it more of a mission than what it needed to be! I thought the pump motor was stuffed - no. Took both pumps out and then the washer bottle itself. The Motors were good - quite a bit of...

    Freelander 1 Headlining Replacement - completed

    A very good post! Did you start in the 'middle' by the ridge which separates the front/read, and then work forward to the sun visors..., then carry on working to the rear?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Yes - a spray on adhesive by CRC. A high temp' one to cope with hot car interiors. From the sunroof back it looks good :)

    Lol - for the last two years or so my WoF peep have said I must replace the ARB bushes. I did but the horrid clonking was still there. Last year I replace the drop links and they were absolutely stuffed! The WoF peeps never picked that up!

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    This week end I attempted to replace my headlining. Got it out - no problem. Cleaned the saggy old fabric off. Def' recommend wearing GLOVES as the base material has glass fibres all through it - not nice on the hands/fingers! Gave it a second clean and then began to apply the new fabric. Bit of...
