    Freelander 1 Can you retrofit Facelift Dials to a prefacelift hippo TD4?

    It's £175. There's even brake fluid included. I was surprised what you actually get. The brackets a Hefty 6mm steel job too. It is literally every clip and screw you need to do it. No bodging with cable ties. My concern is the price knowing how price sensitive Freelander owners can be. But I...

    Their rover kits are tried and tested with a good name and they've developed an easy way of mounting the master cylinder so there's no drilling or fabrication required. I've just got the first production kit to put on my blue one. Plus LRO are interested in doing a feature on it for me. So me...

    Yeah they are better. Shame the early wheels don't fit the drums properly though I'll make a killing on spacers

    The sheddist hydraulic clutch kit by dark ice designs is going to be the next thing. It gets rid of all the bad bits of the L and K Series hydraulics including the bracket

    Plus the handbrake mechanism that physically spreads the shoes, ive found a few of those that are seized solid. That's what stopped my black one working. You can free it off and lube it easily enough but not on the car

    It's been pretty busy. MM is growing slowly and is taking up all of my time. I did 3 of the shows this year with the owners club which was mostly wet and cold

    I think a big problem is people are scared of shoes. So they don't strip them fully and never get to the bottom of the problem. The handbrake on my black one is brilliant. When I got it it was shocking. Also they don't understand how to set them up once they're fixed. Unfortunately it seems to...

    Freelander 1 Anyone ever seen a softback?

    I got one for my blue one. They crop up on eBay occasionally

    I've never looked tbh. There was a great thread about auto adjusters. When I sorted mine it was a full strip down. Remove the handbrake mechanism and free it off in a vice. Rebuild with decent shoes. Undo handbrake adjuster. Set shoes properly. Then adjust handbrake.

    I put full facelift dash in mine as Krisboats said but made the original cluster fit because so much didn't work. It made it fairly easy.

    Meeeeee. I posted on here all about it and there's some stuff on my Muddy Mods Facebook page As nodge said though they're pretty good standard. Most problems seem to stem from people not being able to make the rears work properly.

    TD4 engine problems

    Tbh going on the description it sounds like it can't produce enough fuel pressure when the demand is increased so I'd plug it in and be looking at anything that can affect the fuel pressure initially
