Maybe it rotates.

Just checked 2023 and its the rusty Defender... https://web.archive.org/web/20230830162415/https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/land-rover-freelander.9/

I don't know for sure, but I imagine the 2WD frame is the same as the 4WD frame with the diff mounts removed to save a few grams of weight to save a few micro liters of fuel. However, I wouldn't put it past JLR to punch an impression in the 2WD chassis to foul on a 4WD frame diff mount so you...

It was lucky it didn't fall off a cliff into the drink.

I think the only change to the brakes was in 2000 when they went from solid to vented disks - and other stuff like larger vacume thingie and presumably calipers. So presumably anything that isn't a YA vin should be the right one.

This. But as the sod hit you then drove off, you make sure it gets fixed, and not necessarily cheaply, and make sure the sod pays every penny as well as what ever plod do.

Another day, another plonker in a campervan. How? Why?

Depends really. If you like the car, its in good condition and is otherwise reliable... then spending some money on it... maybe take the 'opportunity' to replace the clutch, and slave... would be a good idea. However, if its time to change, the F2 is a great car ;) If it goes wrong though...

Its been like this for a number of years. You have to use a Machine to go WayBack to find it...

If you're in the northern hemisphere in July - I don't think glow plugs are your problem. Pretty sure the M47 only needs them when its fookin cold. I really have no idea what the problem is, but if you pushed me to suggest something, I'd say you may have fuel leaking into the cylinders when...

Read through this, it explains how to open the door and what you need to replace... https://landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/solved-fl1-rear-door-latch-release.392491/

There has been an exactly same thread recently - the solenoid became detatched from the latch. The 2 bits are supplied as 1 piece joined by a rod that had become detatched on the lock side. There was a tab you can push with a screwdriver or summat to release the latch.

The topic is obviously quite a bit more expansive than just what can and can't be programmed!

You say that it was minimum cost to you, but that lot can't have been cheap. Many a F1 would have been crushed for less. Well done for getting it all done up :D

We keep going round in circles with these immobiliser/locking issues. This needs to be a sticky or in the technical archive... https://landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/anyone-sorted-key-chip-cloning.375566/#post-5277848

It's only the brakes. Getting the file out to willy-nilly take bits off can't harm anything. :rolleyes: Making the pads loose within the caliper, vibration when in use - erm, ah, its only the brakes :rolleyes: I might suggest that if you think the pads are faulty, for the sake of other road...

TBH they are totally different vehicles from the ground up. You are just as likely to get an armrest from a different manufacturer to fit. You'd be more likely with something out of the Rover stable, like a 75 or summat, but still unlikely.

Because it has the coded CCU on the back?

Doesn't sound like problems related to the key. If the car thinks the back door is open, then it won't raise the window. You need to fix that and there's a lot of it about at the moment in different threads. Sensor is on the door opening actuator - easiest thing is a replacement actuator...

Your list of things to do in order of priority... 1. Check all tyres are matching make & model, and they are pumped to the same pressure. 1. 1 wheel up test on VCU. 1. Check oil in IRD to make sure it looks like oil and does not have a metallic sheen to it. 1. Remove props, make sure there's...
