Hello, I have started changing the timing belt on a FL1 1.8. After struggling with the flywheel cover I now have the inner bolt for the engine mounting left. (One of the two close to the engine block) The extension rod start to twist so I’m afraid I will break something. I’m away atm so...

Great, thank you!

Hello, I don't want to start a new thread so continue here, hope that's ok. I have previously followed the sequence stated in rave manual where you start with the front. If I follow your suggestions for a LHD car then I have to bleed in this order, RR,RL, FR, FL or?? Regards Chris

Hi, for this who find this link in the future. There are five clips (DYC101470), take care and use a panel clip remover and gently push the finisher outwards. First is 15cm from the edge and second 30 cm, same on both sides. On the right side the third clip is 41.5cm from the edge. Hope this...

Hi folks, Well, after destroying a couple of the clips (DCE100560) for the side finishers I better ask how to remove the upper finisher? Don't want to destroy it and it isn't obvious for me on how to do... Should it be lifted or slided, to my defence it is difficult to see due to a lot of...

Hi To recalibrate the tailgate window just disconnect the battery again, then connect the battery and rev the engine at 1500 rpm for 15 s then use the button on the console to close the window. Can be good to keep it at 1500 rpm while you run the window regulator. When the window is closed then...

Hello, A really stupid question.. While doing some welding on my Freelander 1 I removed the inner wheel arches and when I put them back I noticed there were no protection for the edge. Is CLB100160 (No 5 in picture) the only protection for the arch? Do you guys know the approx length och...

Thank you for the How To.

Hello, I changed the wires this weekend and had same problem. Had to drill a hole and insert a kingpin in the catch mechanism stopping it from going back. For me that sorted the window not going down when I pressed the handle.

Hello Sorry for this, there are already numerous posts regarding window regulator. In my car the previous owner fitted an aftermarket regulator/motor. If I need a new one I have to buy both or the motor won't fit, any advice of a good enough brand? The problem I have with my current setup is...

Hi Just a quick report back, unfortunately it wasn't a leaking washer hose. After a heavy rain with the car parked with the rear a bit higher the carpet got wet plus so a never ending story :). Theres no water shedder atm so will put a sheet of polyurethane for now, anyone know the material for...

Cheers! Thanks to both of you. There is som slight amount of water behind the cap, I put some paper towel there. I will also check the washer hose, that could explain why I can't replicate the leakage using the water hose. /Chris

Hello, I have problem with water in the small compartment illustrated by the photo. I suspected the fuel filler and tried to seal around it and especially where two arrows point. Still after a heavy rain water enters even if I don't drive the car, so my question is if there shouldn't be sealant...

Hi, Thanks, and it's much cheaper than what I bought. I used to buy from UK but due to Brexit it is expensive and takes time with shipping. Any advice on the oil, can I keep it for now? /Chris

Hi Follow the instructions from Alibro, I didn't have much plastic left to glue to so had to do some more work but works great. A new handle is expensive so give this a try. Here is the recalibration procedure: Disarm the alarm system. Disconnect your Freelander battery. Wait for 5 seconds...

Hi, I changed oil in my gearbox (Freelander -04 1.8 manual). I had problem to find MTF94 so bought Liqui Moly 75W80 instead. Changing gears works fine but I now get weird errors, HDC (C1151), I expect electrical malfunction in reverse/1st gear or brake switch. Maybe just bad coincidence it all...

Hi I had the same problem, there are several threads on how to glue the bolts back. I glued mine back but unfortunately the repair didn't last very long. A few months ago I repaired it again, maybe overkill but this is how I did.

Hi, In retrospect maybe the old VCU was replaced too soon, but now I can sleep well and don't have to worry. /Chris

Hi, Got it two weeks ago, only driving around 15km

Hi, Old VCU: 5kg 1.2m 65s (measured at 25 deg C) Reconditioned VCU from Bell Engineering (13 deg C): 5kg 1.2m 42s 8kg 1.2m 19s /Chris
