    Heated seats fix fl1

    Sorry meant to follow up the image above. Looks like the power goes directly through the switch to the relays. If the heater elements or temp sensor fails I don't think it would stop the indicator light working on the switch.

    Heated seats fix fl1

    Hello, my FL1 had heated seats but only one side works. Switch for drivers side lights up and seat gets warm, but for passenger side the light doesn't light up. Any thoughts on what to check? Looking at the circuit diagram, both seats run off the same fuse so guess not the fuse. There's a...

    Freelander 1 3dr Light Bars???

    Did you get anywhere with this? I've got a 3dr too and the built in bars are too far back for front spots. Also looking to find a solution to fit on the front rails

    Freelander 1 Low on power - turbo vacuum pipes

    Is it 4mm interior diameter? And does the pipe need to have any kind of heat resistance?

    FL1 bad start

    Thanks buddy, no fuel leak no. Would an injectors issue explain the perfect start with glow plugs working? Getting a lot of white smoke when cranking which I thought would be unburnt fuel, is that too much fuel getting in? Bad fuel/ air mix?

    FL1 bad start

    My '52 Freelander TD4 has always been a bad starter, have to turn it over for about 15-30 seconds before it properly catches, kicks out a bunch of white smoke in the process. Felt classic glow plugs problem, so I bought a set of plugs, and opened it up a few weeks back. They were all pretty...

    Don't take the key out the fuel cap......

    Hello Andy, I unlocked the cap, pulled the whole thing out, but for me the key seemed locked in the cap at this point? But if you push down the plastic dome that's the opposite end to the key, you can turn the key around normally to the unlocked position. However this allows the cylinder to...

    Don't take the key out the fuel cap......

    I tried it earlier, was filling the hippo with fuel and wanted to do the windows up before I paid... so just take the key out the fuel cap while you're filling up, right? No, put the fuel cap back in place first or you'll get a pile of bits like below. The key didn't come out easily so I...

    Are they really any good ?

    We can't change old @Hippoo but there's a potential fix on the door front... It's got a monocoque design, so the doors get jammed shut if you cross axle it, helps hold it all together... so if the doors are falling off, you just need to cross axle it more.

    Freelander 1 INSA TURBO'S

    I wouldn't say no to the tyres but my hubs are a bit better cond... You can get second hand tyres for a good price if that helps though? Beware the issue with different sizes tho.

    Green lanes in Hampshire

    I'm just posing an important philosophical question... If a map shows a legal byway and there's a real life metal gate across it, am I legally allowed to go around the real life metal gate? Hypothetically speaking of course.

    Old Fred I know but I've found this website showing legal byways - https://bywaymap.com/ - I assume it's accurate but anyone know for sure?

    FL1 engine no and OEM light buttons?

    Yeah I didn't think I'd find any with the right legend but I thought if it bothers me I could sand if off and create my own decals for it.... Not sure what I'm going to do yet though. Really appreciated the help and advice on this site tho, it's good inspiration.

    FL1 engine no and OEM light buttons?

    Thanks ok, I'll keep an eye on out. Pain they're hard to come by, makes sense why I can't find anywhere on eBay etc. Alternatively I have thought about replacing the blank button (cruise control) and using it for spots instead... A few of these on eBay so might be simpler. Thanks for the help!

    FL1 engine no and OEM light buttons?

    Thanks both, I haven't got my head around rave manuals yet but have seen some posts explaining them so I need to dive in when I have some time spare. Hopefully it might save some work if the wiring is already there. Thanks for confirming the engine too, it's nice to know. Where would be a...
