    Freelander 1 L-Series Bosch diesel ECU replacement process?

    I seem to remember someone saying about replacing the EPROM in the one you are installing with the one from the old ECU. But then I also remember the Polish fella I was telling you about installing the F1 ECU in a 620 and 'hot wiring' it so that the immobiliser was, erm, immobilised. I'll see...

    Freelander 1 FriLL Td4 AT 3door 2002

    A quick google of the part number brings it up as a Mazda part - but looks to be for the Jatco. Most have 0 stock - but a couple of the US suppliers looked to have them available.

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    Oh dear, I feel for you and can totally relate to those frustrating tasks that, on the face of it, should be so simple! Its why the new ones have those plastic ties on. I'll have a look at mine later.

    Must admit, it would probably take about 5 hours to clear enough space in the garage to get the car over the pit :oops:

    Parking sensors

    We had a LDV Deliver9 camper returned to the yard the other day that had got stuck in a freedom camping site. Someone threw a rope around the end of the bumper to help pull them out, which they did. The end of the bumper is a bolt on steel tube that bends around the corner of the van, and it...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 coolant issues

    I'd definitely look at fixing the coolant loss first. Not just because it could (possibly has) damaged the engine, but because fixing that has a good chance of fixing the heating. My F1 (which has absolutely no relation to the F2) has a coolant loss. The heater will work briefly when the...

    Looks like a lot of pfaffing around. You should hire a mini digger for a day and dig an inspection pit.

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    I can't remember now, was a few years ago. On Wednesday I took 2 gas bottles out of a camper. On Thursday I went to put them back and couldn't remember where they came from! 1 was OK, there was a box on the side of the van that said 'LPG', so worked that 1 out - but could not for the life of...

    Freelander TD4 vacuum hose servo EGR and turbo

    With that many Land Rovers, its not parts that is your main need, it is medical assistance. ;) Nice collection by the way. You need a P38 in there as well I think.

    Freelander 1 P scan diagnostic for 98 1.8 Freelander

    No, your data looks very normal. (famous last words but) I've had my motor for 14 years and never had a wheel sensor go, or brake switch, which are the 'normal' type things Freelander owners are looking for. I've had to replace the modulator twice though due to faulty shuttle valves. It is a...

    Freelander 1 P scan diagnostic for 98 1.8 Freelander

    I see your live data shows an error with the shuttle valves. Is that just a static message because its probably true? :D

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    Yeh, I think I cocked up the install and the rod popped out. IIRC, I put the rod up to the fork, then pushed the slave forward (either pushing the rod in or the fork out a bit, and managed to get the slave slotted into the bracket. Think the rod kept wanting to slide off the fork at the angle...

    Freelander 1 P scan diagnostic for 98 1.8 Freelander

    The 98 car will have the Wabco ABS not Teves, so very different, but I'm sure pscan works well with it. The website says it does... https://pscan.uk/features/freelander1.html

    FL2 glovebox

    The longer you can get through life without one, the better and less stressful your life will be. For sure, they are great little devices that tell you stuff only they can and save you many hours checking ****. But, when ever I use one, which is actually reasonably often, I age a couple of...

    In Rave there are pictures of all the connectors. Find the connector number (for the relay), then look up its pic. you can confirm if you're looking at the right 1 then.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Wonder where you got that from?

    New to me Freelander 2 SD4

    Nice looking motor. If the dealer is paying, then give it to a garage or auto electrician to fix. Better still, get them to organise it and you can just drop the car off with who ever they use. Regarding vent, I'll follow the replies as it was about the only issue with mine when I got it...

    Freelander 1 98 1.8 cooling fans wiring diagrams

    Its all in the thread. Yes, you need a Windows PC/laptop to install it on and run. It downloads as an 'ISO' image that you mount and then becomes a drive letter on your PC that you can run the reader app on. Most people nowadays though have newer versions of Windows that it won't run on...
