Hi All. After changing a passenger door lock actuator motor. This door now locks when unlocking and opens when locking with the remote. Not sure I got all the levers in the right place. Or is the motor running backwards. Needs syncing? Got motor from Ali express for £6 against £120 for new lock...

Update. Fuel pump removed and found seized. Managed to turn the impeller to free off with wd40 . Put wires straight to battery and whizzed round nicely. Refitted , still no joy. Che cked engine bay fuse for pump. All good. 😊 Then found 2nd fuse under steering wheel blown. New fuse and away...

Thanks. I shall check that . Don't remember hearing the pump run with ignition on .

Does the 1.8 have a priming button ? Will find out Monday.

Yes. Hired a trailer to pick up. Quite a first time towing 2 tonnes.

Found the top rad hose chafed against the fan shroud today. So thin it's ready to pop. Good job I've got the new hoses

It's an assembly of new coolant pipes with a new thermostat , which moves the position of the stat to front of engine and gives a more stable temperature. Also seen a vid of a different way to plumb it in to avoid any overheating on a 10 minute idle. Hopefully stop any hgf problems in the future.

Hi All, I have just bought a Freelander 1 1.8 k series 50th anniversary 3 door as a project. This is my first landrover and I have read lots on the forum already. I have done a compression test and found 230, 220, 230 and 230 which I am happy with although seems a bit high. Will be doing the One...
