    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Maybe I just get a whole new performance exhaust for the car? Can't find any though :(

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Yeah the downpipe but cat side of it: I've highlighted those two bolt holes I am talking about which mine does not have, it is supposed to bolt to the IRD to stop it swinging into the prop pinion and oil pan which mine is currently doing... That is what mine looks like, it fits in the...

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    I hope not! I bought it new, will have to get some pictures, can't imagine it's possible to be from a different car? it fits almost perfectly with the hanger too. Will get some pictures this weekend.

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Another Update! 300 Miles all seems good, no coolant loss, realised how expensive she in on fuel compared to the Nissan Note's 60+ MPG but fun none-the-less, we agreed though that we would take this 50mm front and 60mm rear lift kit off though, it is too much and not really worth the wear it...

    Back door issues

    Let us know how it goes!

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    I have not fitted that, nor heard of it, though while searching I found: Is this it? To be fair I think the temp sensor got dripped on with quite hot coolant as it was a little loose when putting the whole engine together so easily could've damaged it.

    Back door issues

    As Andy said, likely to be the motor, was the first thing I did on my fl1 and still the worst thing to date (I've replaced the engine) but I'm also not very smart so :p Good luck!

    Back door issues

    Personally I give the not right under the handle a good kick, that engages the servo that pulls the latch release and open the boot. When you use the handle or button in the boot does it make an opening noise? Or is it silent? Sometimes the hook that pulls the latch release falls off and can't...

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Update! 200 miles done and I have fixed the exhaust issue by removing and re-fitting the engine mounts on the right order. However it may be the new engine but I'm not sure if it's safe to drive, when stationary the temp guage goes up to temp and stays there but when I start driving its all...

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Hey! I have been doing some work yesterday on this one and good news is that the issue was with the driveshaft being cooked, after replacing with one that I could get there and then (GSP) not sure if it is any good, that resolve the problem, only problem I got now is the exhaust rubbing on the...

    K Series Freelander 1 - highest mileage?

    Shame you had to let it go! Did you ever do the HG on it? would be interesting to think that a K-Series 1.8 managed 220K without a failure!
  15. xDParis64

    Hello! Late...

    Hello all! I am a few months late to this as I was really just lurking in the Freelander forum But I have a FL1 1.8K Series that I have at this point built from the ground up but only driven a couple hundred miles :mad: But it has been fun and an experience all so friendly here! So Hey!
  16. xDParis64

    GKN Driveshafts worth it?

    Yeah, and with a lift that only increases the wear. The problem may not even be driveshaft but is the latest issue in this post https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/hello-again.394498/page-2 and my almost fully rebuilt fl1 at this point 😆

    GKN Driveshafts worth it?

    Hey! So I may need to replace the driveshaft on my 1.8 FL1 but I have heard the GKN ones are worth the cost as they are not cheap rubbish. I took a look and at £60 for one or £100 for two non GKN ones for one GKN one at £320 is it really worth it! I would expect for 6x the price they last 6x...

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Haha! Might wanna keep it close though... I really hope I don't need it though. 🙃

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Got it. I suppose I am feeling for clunks/clicks and which side that happens on?
