Grrrrr!

cant postthe image, hang on a bit please :)

Thanks The thing is I am not sure the unbroken one hasnt skipped a few cogs at which point should I introduce the top strip? Put both red arrow strips with teeth with first tooth on the cog wheel and then push both in, or delay the top one a bit? This is a fun job .... Last night I actually had...

Hahaha! I am now reassembling one side Can you tell me how the two teethed bars line up, if you see what I mean when one is at the end, where should the other be? Cheers

Thanks. Its only one side that's broken, luckily

@andyfreelandy Thanks. Did you rebuild the sliders? With second hand cannibalised bits or summaat loike this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-FREELANDER-SUNROOF-REPAIR-KIT-1998-2006-1-year-warranty/111753144472?epid=880666663&hash=item1a0501a898:g:eX4AAOSwak5Z11Ot Mine are all lubricated...

Hi, I have had my sunroof out, not too bad at all - and now all rebonded and hammerited But the little lug on the plastic mechanism on one side that attached the mech to the little swing arm causes lift is broken off (terrible explanation but doesnt matter) I will try to get a new piece /...

New VCU here €600 (£510) Not sure if that is with or without 23% VAT - I didnt ask! He is finding out about a reconditioned one, but I am wary of them done here. Each support bearing (I need 2): LR €103 GKN €67 BJS €65 Britpart €24 Avoid the Britpart ones, or a bargain? PS, are these the...

Thanks @Nodge68 I think Bell Eng sell them for £180 plus £100 if no exchange Hopefully someone from home will be coming down to visit this year to smuggle one down to me and then take back the old one And I can compare prices with buying one down here (Liable to be much much more expensive tho...

Hi! where is the best place to buy a VCU in UK these days? It may be that I cant get the old one in for exchange (But I might be able to), so I dont know if New is also an option? Cheers 2001 Td4

Well, that was clever of me then. If the VCU gets damaged by working at around 70 C, then mine must have been truly buggered by months in the Portuguese midsummer heat - I'm sure it got substantially hotter than that, and for long enough per day to easily allow the heat to get right through. In...

Thanks Gel, That is much cheaper, will have to look into shipping down here Brakes are not binding - I put the prop back on for MOT and it went straight through When I bought the car, 5 yrs ago, I took the prop off since it was resisting ever so slightly on reverse full lock, not much but I was...

1.2 m bar, 5 kg, from 45 to 90 degrees, td4 2001, 173,000 km / 108,000 miles 7 minutes Bugger, I guess I better take prop off again before driving it. I have been quoted €500 Euro (£450) just for VCU here in Portugal, how does that compare to UK these days?

Hi, These times are for a bar of 1.2m, with a 5Kg weight from what I can see Can someone tell me the starting and finishing angles please? I am pretty sure that the finish is 90 degrees (three O´Clock)? But what is the starting angle, please? I would go through the thread but its up to 54 pages...

Thanks Actually its the imobiliser/key that's more important for me I think - I can like with turning a key to open the doors - although doesnt the fob also turn off the alarm?

Aha! You are not wrong So, do I have to get the key/immobiliser from LR, and get it programmed by LR or are there alternatives for this too? They did tell me in the locksmith I went to here in Portugal that they could do the fob if it was only the remote unlocking and didn't have an...

Hi I have a TD4 Freelander 1, first registered here in Portugal in May 2001 It has a 'normal' ignition key with a separate LUCAS 17TN fob with two buttons, like here When I bought the car it came with no spare, so I am now trying to find out how to get one. On that site it says, 'The Freelander...

OK, I read up on normal and super lock One fob press gives drivers door open, next press opens passenger door (and should open rear side doors) - does this mean I have single entry?

Hi, When I bought the car a few weeks back one rear side door did not unlock from the fob, but all locked with the fob. Last week the other rear side door stopped unlocking from the fob, but still locks. I changed the fob battery yesterday - no difference. Today I have been playing around with...
