What ever you do - remove the inside cover on the door before closing it. If you manage to close it, but then can't open it again, you'll be cursing if you don't. I agree, you are almost certainly up for a new regulator (motor, wires and runners). Its a lot easier and more reliable fix than...

Quite coincidental this because I used the manual gear selection in my F2 for the first time this weekend. We went over a pass where plenty of vehicles burn their brakes out by the time they've got to the bottom. I was using it to brake rather than accelerate, but it worked a treat. When we...

If the timing was out, wouldn't it still fire the injectors?

I think the OP must have a particularly dodgy backbox. Cos when there's a major accident, the backboxes are always found intact and sent away to find out what went wrong.

Everything is relative. I see pics of the underside of UK cars and cringe when compared to my NZ new 26 year old Freelander that looks in relatively pristine condition. Looking through the cars for sale here, occasionally they have the speedo in MPH. They would have been imported from the UK...

Well done for getting them apart. I think that must be the most linked to video by a long way in the Freelander section of LZ. Separating the props really is a case of absolute maximum aggression with a chisel and heavy hammer - and hope the chisel doesn't fly off and get you in the gonads!

IIRC once you have the bumper off it is accessible, mounted on the outside of the wing.

Don't let it hit your confidence to do maintenance yourself. I have a friend who is an aircraft engineer. His job is literally to make sure planes don't fall out of the sky. He needed to service his car and came round to mine to do it and use the inspection pit in my garage. He could not get...

I don't know the answer to your question, but the net should hide that nicely. I'm sure it will be far far better than a saggy head lining. Which glue did you use? A spray on I take it?

Looks like its had a bit of a hard life for all those problems with the suspension.

I don't think you can get the original. You have to replace it with the new one and changed pulley. I presume the OP asked for a timing ring for Freelander 2 and got what he asked for as it the only 1 available. Who ever sold it, didn't realise that to fit the early engines it needs some...

You are definitely right to get the correct CPS setup installed. Don't be to surprised if it still doesn't fire the injectors though, as there are other things that can stop them. They are of course controlled by the ECU, so if the ECU isn't seeing all the right parameters it won't open them...

lol. When its only doing 2k miles at most between 6 monthly WOFs, I tend to just let the examiner find any problems. The day before this WOF though I did change the drop links as it was an advisory on the last one and changed the wiper blades cos I noticed 1 had split when I was washing it.

Wouldn't they be obscured by the "One Life Live It" sticker across the top of the screen? 🤣 Or should that be "Eén leven Leef het"? (according to Google).

Yeh, must admit, I was quite surprised at that one.

I cleaned it up lovely. It was lookin fabulous. And the bastids failed it! How dare they! I spent 30 minutes getting it looking that good. They said it needs a tyre and a power steering belt. But it was spotlessly clean. I'm dumb founded. :D

Looking good. I'm not sure what facilities are in petrol stations where you go, but I'd be taking a tyre pressure gauge and a 12v (or foot) pump. If you haven't found out yet - 4 matching tyres of the same brand and model are a must on Freelander and they must be at the same pressures. It...

Took the F1 along for its WOF today. Took it into the wash bay at work first and gave it a good clean up and water blast. It always looks great when its had a wash. It was getting late when I dropped it off, so left it in the lines of cars to be done tomorrow and used a works car to come home...

If they didn't, it would be a good idea to - even if none spilled. If they do it, warn them to release the fill bolt first as it is really soft and often causes problems if not taken off very carefully.

On the L Series diesel, the timing of injection is all done by the pump, but the TD4 is by the injectors, the pump just provides the pressure to the common rail. However, isn't it driven by the timing chain? That being the case - yes, you would need everything locked or else you're in trouble...
