Well, it seems there is a lot of knowledge out there concerning the speedo cluster on the Freelander 1, but of course there are two very different & distinguishable types. It would really assist me if I can have the following questions answered. If I were to replace a Facelift type cluster with...

I find what you wrote very interesting. Was your cluster your replaced a Facelift model, like the one in the photo’s? Or might it be the earlier model?

Okay, here we go... I dismantled my replacement speedometer yesterday, including removing the indicating needles. I learned a lot. To begin with, the needles can be easily removed. They are not glued or heavily stuck onto their spindles. But they do need to be removed in a verticle motion...

Having read lots of Threads concerning the FL1 speedo cluster, learning from some the recorded mileage is held in the cluster's circuit-board as well as within the ECU. Some also suggest that if the original cluster is replaced the vehicle will adopt & show the higher of the recorded mileage...

My FL1 just passed an ITV (Spanish MOT) with flying colours. It has an EGR bypass fitted and all the emissions were excellent. In addition to this, the Spanish are now connecting a yellow-coloured box into the OBDII connector and testing, or monitoring, with the engine running. I reckon the VW...

The thing is this, the cluster is on its way to me and I'm quite keen to get the thing reprogrammed with my original's mileage reading, as a project. I'll only use the new cluster for travelling to & back from the UK, especially as it has MPH & KPH on display. I'll certainly be using this as a...

I'm in the process of replacing my FL1 Td4 2006 speedo cluster - and wonder if anyone can give me the Eeprom type, as fitted for the Mileage/Kilometer memory chip on the internal circuit-board? The cluster model is as shown in the following photo's, which is a suitable replacement. It'll be an...

Nodge, what a STAR you are! The pair of 2nd-hand Mondeo Mk3 (2000-2003) fog lamps are the biz. They are identical to my originals. What else can I say, except THANKS.

I was looking at a 2nd hand pair of lamps on Ebay, and they are selling for a lot more than a NEW pair of Mondeo lamps. Guess what I'm about to buy. Thanks, Nodge. You've been most helpful.

Hi Nodge. I've just been looking on Ebay and the Mondeo Fogs certainly do resemble those of the FL1 Facelift model. And they can be cheaply bought too, especially when compared to the FL1 units. My question is, how sure are you that the Mondeo lamps are the same as the FL1? Freelander 1 Fog...

Thanks, guys.

I'm looking for a pair of Front Fog Lights, minus the bulbs & bezels. A 2006 Td4, manual diesel is my chariot. I'm certain all the FL1 Front Fogs are the same, but would stand corrected if someone knows better. P&P to either Essex, or Spain. Thanks.

In addition to my previous... I took the car out today and it went like a dream. Starting, cruising, accelerating, etc. I do not know - or even pretend to understand why, but the change of Crankase Filter has made a large difference - for the better. I'm pleased I made the retro-step.

Thanks, Arctic, and I couldn't agree more. When I did change the wool/plastic filter it looked like it had never, ever been changed, even though the 4X4's Service Record showed it should have been. I'll stick - no pun intended lol , to the original type instead of the BMW plastic thingy. For...

Thanks, Nodge68. It's as I imagined. I'll do a small write-up tomorrow - post shopping trip.

I recently replaced my Rear-Diff mounts with polyurethane units - and what a difference they have made. I had previously fitted a rubber mount in the front-central position, but recognised the rubber became extremely soft in the high Spanish temperatures we have been suffering/enjoying. That had...

Freelander 1, Td4, 2006. BMW engine. When I bought my Freelander, almost 2 years ago, I went through a systematic process of upgrading it with mod’s; alterations that were mentioned in LandyZone as being beneficial, which all have been. However, there was something I did that changed the...

Hi. I've carried out an inspcetion on my vacuum system, cleaning and checking the lot. Everything passed muster... except... the hose connection onto the Vacuum Pump. See the photo's. The rubber had not only gone hard, but the spring-clip had imbedded itself into what had once been pliable...

All-in-all, what you say sounds good. I reckon I'll be carrying out a few more checks. Thanks.

Now that is good advice. As for coffee...? It would need to be a beer. T I'll check that. Thanks.
