Yep, been living near the seaside !! That's why it is donating its goodies before being recycled !! Not a single like for April 1st. ☹️

Fantastic solution to those problems. Very easy to use.

I am very pleased to hear you got it done and 2.5 hours! Well done.

It can be done. Undo hub nut. Loosen trailing arm to hub bolt. No need to do more than a couple of turns. Undo and remove trailing arm to chassis bolt and let arm hang. Undo lower arm to subframe bolts x2. Unbolt handbrake cable clip to subframe...

Here is a copy of the instructions that came with my towbar. I hope they may be of some use.

Must admit, I like the seperate ECUs and minor interconnectivity on the FL1. Makes fault finding easier and means a fault in one doesn't necessarily stop you using the vehicle. There is an ECU in the fuel burning heater but not sure what data...

Live data is also very important. Error codes tell you what the ECU thinks is the problem, but they are aren't always correct. Sometime the logic behind how an ECU decides on errors can be wrong. Live data gives you more clues. You need to be...

Lr don't get involved with complaints about cars. Hence passing you back to the main dealer. Main dealers have their own mechanisms of contacting lr direct for warranty claims and problems etc. What they say is correct, yer contract of sale is...

Here it is for a facelift. Power comes from position "1" on the ignition barrel (I don't know what that means), through F6, through the inhibit switch on the transmission, and in to the immobiliser. If the vehicle starts then it's probably working.

Just to update those taking interest, I removed the fault codes and recalibrated the gyro, having remade the connection next to the handbrake. Today I’ve started the vehicle twice and driven 10 miles each time on a mix of rough dirt terrain (I’m...

I could feed that code into my Testbook T4 and see how it interprets it. Might take me a little while though.

I know nothing. A search looks like it might be the axis gyro gadget thingie.

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...

Thanks. If I crack an easy way then I will document it.

I wish I could be more certain, but I am certain that they didn`t bleed the brakes or top up fluid so I presume the brake line was not touched. They did have to gently strain this and that and I saw reasonable use of the polythene faced mallet...

Hello all, while trying to understand other faults which I have cleared, pscan showed this: - Teves Mk 25 1 error code 5E5C C1220 Unknown code There are no wheel speed sensor codes and the Bosch front pads, 600 miles back, the wear indicator...

My pscan arrived this week and I checked all systems to see the following faults: - B1001 Battery voltage too low B1004 Warning lamp failure (short to ground or open circuit) B1008 Front driver airbag, resistance too high I have have reset the...

It seems those 3 new members are gone already. The mods are stepping up their game against haters in the technical forums.

It seems the technical sections are getting full of haters again. Nobody is asking for your input, so if you have nothing nice or constructive to say, say nothing.

The garage I was forced to use by unfortunate circumstance used that approach on my 2005 rear right wheel bearing replacement a few weeks ago. BTW, I couldn`t believe how much noise a bearing "starting" to fail created in the cabin. Good luck!

Yes as long as they work or worked with the old set up. Best buy new case or buttons and battery before trying. Both fobs will need to be presented at the programming stage as it re progs them both the same.

Hello @Nodge68 - I cannot see the Armageddon link.... but if it refers to what I think it might; I would offer that UK has a more sensible approach to cars and motorcycles. That is, in the broad sense, does the vehicle have a continuing safe...

Today's job is remove the Ird and fit a new set of cam belts to the replacement engine so I can swap it over this weekend!!

@andyfreelandy can previously used 17TN fobs be reprogrammed in your experience? Thanks in advance.

Lucas 17TN is what you need. Will need to be programmed to CCU. Might be able to find you one. Will PM. Can buy new case and buttons easily on ebay.

OK. PScan will do it. Seem to be about £15 ukp for a remote. Fit a new case and buttons and job done !

Thanks @andyfreelandy. I need/want to have a second working fob. Knowing it is the 17TN is a huge help. I just ordered a pscan from @pscan.eu to help me with the bizarre behaviour on the SRS side, so I can do the CCU work too.

I just looked here and on eBay for a FL1 2005 key fob supplier. Any recommendations that respect the bank account please? Do the Rover 25 45 100 200 400 ZS ZR MG MGF 2 Button fobs suit FL1? Thanks

Hi all, I stumbled across this the other day and thought it could be useful to share. https://caravanchronicles.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/freelander-electrical-circuits-2004.pdf It's a 150 page pdf of wiring diagrams for a 2004 Freelander...
