hi Grumpy hope you are ok we were last in NZ about 3 3/4 years ago and i was going to try and meet you but i had a stroke in NZ did not realize i had a stroke i thought it was my illness anyway at last i am getting somewhere with my health so hope to be on hear a bit more I still have my F1 td4...

there is a man on you tube that does a complete overall of the Heldex he replaces all bearing and he works in a shed sorry but i do not have a name search for heldex overall

this is from Landrover hope this helps I am telling you because I had a problem when I let someone renew my vacuum pipes on my freelander td4 auto as I was going on holiday next day to Ireland he did not do it right he put the pipe of the main line onto the front of the vacuum chamber and then...

those two black fittings on the end they go under or over the sump guard where they bolt to the body

deos it have a sun roof if so check the drain pipes are not blocked up

the early freelanders had 15 ins wheels and i can not think what year they change to bigger ones measure them

when you get one with a auto box have the fluid drained and refiled by somebody that knows what they are doing as you can easily mistake the brake band bolt for the filler plug i believe I always leave mine to a auto gearbox garage and they do it for about £40 which should be done every 60,000...

blame it on Covid and not doing many miles i have been on 6 miles a week and it does the tires no good at all

lets face it they did copy the Just Enough Essential Parts

is your fuel pump and filter ok as mine did this and that,s what it turned out to be and since then i have had no touching wood lights on at all every time i went out i would dread it and the wife would sat get another one like a freelander 2 but i love my f1 td4 auto hse and did not want to...

have you done it yet some people miss the three bolts at the top , the thing to do is take the air filter out and there are three plugs take these out and put them saf as you need to put them back and the three bolts are there they are splined but a good fit socket will undo them .if you do not...

both the same as far as I am aware

well I had a shock today let me explain, some time ago i had Jamie cox around with hi little computer and the car went really well better than before but i kept on getting the engine management light on so i kept putting my Icarsoft on and it kept saying low fuel pressure sensor I searched and...

if the gasket does go again have it done properly that means a head skim and the three ply gasket i have never in my life seen a water pump like that

i brought mine last week will get the son in law to change it make sure you cut the tube to the right size

we only wish we were in your position finding a freelander like that is a very very rare find and it looks good

you need a six point socket not a 12 as you are in danger of destroying the bolt have the engine warm as well it helps

is the car auto or manual if it is Auto then the seals in the gear box could be on there way out as when it gets warm the seals tend to go a bit better

it looks as though you have been through a lot of sand or mud if it is sand then that will ware anything out .

try the electrical cleaner again or some safe wash then put it on the radiator over night its worth a try the safe wash might be better if you can get it.
