Just a thought so don't give me any grief. I've not gone into the reasons against but couldn't the components on a Honda Crv be used with some mods ? The pdc is the same as the Freelander so at least it's a start.

Well I must report just how much quieter, smoother (although this could just be a placebo effect of the quieter engine) and less smoky the vehicle is now after just a couple of hundred miles. The engine always sounded rattley before but no longer . MPG ? Well I can't report any change there I'm...

Bought a 3 pack. Forte advanced diesel treatment/turbo cleaner/DPF cleaner. Will post if there are any noticeable changes.

I concur with Dave. Just swap it over. Done this before for the same reasons you've stated. Mileage can be changed but it's costly. ISTR it being around £100 but that was from a main stealer. So I didn't bother.

Cheers guys. The wishbone was recently changed with a new rear bush. I'll see how it wears from now on but I seem to recall the same on my V6............

Ok so I'm still getting saw toothing on the nearside front tyre. I replaced the last one even though there was even tread over most of it. I have had tracking , alignment and camber sorted all to no avail. The replacement tyre is alsp wearing heavily on the edge. Any suggestions ? Just to get...

. I run a mine with a 2 inch lift and 30mm spacers and eat nsf drive shafts at a phenomenal rate. However it's been run without arb or drop links which contribute further to the problem. I've reinstated the arb and drop links and just fitted a new drive shaft...

Perhaps he missed the comma after the word "Why" which would then change the meaning from a probing question to a direct one.........

Race2Recovery team. Looks like older footage as they've been racing my old V6 for the last 12 months or so.

Reliant Robin .

Last year maybe as I still had aspirations for it , but this year I decided it was never going to get done and I was sick of looking at it. Luckily for me the new owner had been trying to track it down for a few years and basically snapped my hand off for it. He has the time and space to...

Britpart are , as if anyone expected any differently - ****e. I haven't even bothered to fit them. They feel cheaply made and the rubber is so soft the bearings move around too freely for my liking. I bought a set of Bearmach bearings instead. Completely different. Much better quality.

Waved my rally Freelander , the one hanging from a crane in my avatar, off to its new home near Chepstow. Decided I just couldn't justify keeping it as an expensive ornament on the drive and it really needed a full rebuild from top to bottom which I never had the time or space to do.

You don't really need them.I mean it's not essential. I had extended hoses on my V6 with a 2" lift but I've not got them on my Td4. The Td4 also has a 2" lift and the ARB removed for even greater articulation and TBH I've had the suspension at full travel and had absolutely no problems , the...

Well it won't fit in the hub if left on, different hubs on later models . The question is whether it will still work .

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-FREELANDER-1-FACE-LIFT-FRONT-HEADLIGHT-GUARDS-PAIR-2004-TO-2006-/321853976190?fits=Model%3AFreelander&hash=item4aeffdee7e Says there is more than 10 available.

So basically, can I or can't I just remove the reluctor ring ?

They changed the sensors on later models. IIRC they are magnetic or something. The later sensors are blue where they join the loom under the bonnet instead of black. They don't work/fit with a reluctor ring on the driveshaft.

Cheers for the replies. My concern is that I do have abs, but I have only used driveshafts on my 04MY without the ring. I've no worries removing the ring, just as long as the abs will still work.

I have been sold a new driveshaft. However the vendor has sent one with the ABS ring. He says just to knock the abs ring off. Will this be ok ?
