Both. Lot's of salt on the main roads. Northern Finland has very arctic winters, so there they can't use that much salt (it works only around 0 degrees) but here in southern Finland it is used excessively unfortunately. It is mandatory to use winter tyres here and of course we are used to drive...

That counts for sure. I'm also over maintaining my old cars and they typically pass our yearly inspection we have to do here in Finland with clean papers. Just had both FL1 and D2 inspected in a couple of weeks.

Started to hear very light knocking sound from right front corner when driving slowly on dirt roads. Today investigated and as I guessed it was the drop link; the upper joint had some play in it. My local parts dealer didn't have Meyle HD drop links so had to buy a pair of TRW drop links...

A good well maintained Freelander is a rare thing for sure. Mostly they are abandoned maintenance wise. So if you like it, keep it. I don't know anything better than a car that you have been maintaining and know well. Buying a used car you buy all the other people's problems with it.

Passed our yearly vehicle inspection (equals MOT in UK) with clean papers with my FL1 2004 TD4 Sport.

Short report for this one, happy ending. Ordered new adjusters both side and replaced the old ones. Now the adjustment process described here earlier does what it should do and the hand brake works.

Welded some soft spots on my D2 sills today in hot weather. Needed some cold beers after this job for sure!

Their answer is a bit strange? Why the functionality would be in the ABS menu if it is not supported?

Will do that.

Changed front rotors and pads to my D2.

No luck. Tried multiple times, waiting longer than instructions also. Just came to my mind...I have unplugged (the electric connector) the compressor but that shouldn't affect this?

Yes that's in the ABS menu. Ok, I'll try again tomorrow and wait longer. Thanks.

Have to look again but I think there was OK and Cancel in that menu.

Finally got Foxwell NT530 Pro tool for my D2 & FL1. Any ideas why I'm not able to switch the suspension to coils? It says my car is currently with Air suspension and let's me do the switch to Coil. But when I go back to the menu, it's still on Air. Tool itself seems to work, I can clear the...

Thank you for your kind words Blackfreelander and enjoy working with your car!

New front brakes today.

Found this one online. Winch also has LR logos on it.
