    Buying a Freelander 1 with propshaft removed

    Hi, A professional should sell you a complete car ! No propshaft is already a problem, maybe there is others, once you buy, the seller will not answer any calls from you. Are you realy expecting a warranty for a 20 years old cars … ?

    Freelander 1 td4 2006 clutch master cylinder.

    Hi If the clutch has done 110 000 miles … better to replace it with the slave cylinder. For the bleeding, get someone experienced with you to do the job. So you know the bleeding was done correctly, and if it’s no better you are good for a clutch change. Regards

    Freelander 1 Rapid tyre and brake wear

    Hi, 4 tires change on the FL1 only if it is a 4 by 4. 2 wheel drive freelander, you still have a rear diff that need oil, 2 drive shafts that have boot gaiters that can leak grease. And you still pay for the rear geometry, and pay more for the MOT than a 2 wheels drive car.
