    I am driving on borrowed time or luck .

    Had a morning in court . Credit unions solicitors were trying to claim I owed €4838 and a bit . I rang the CU last week and asked for statement and balance €4169 . The credit controller in the credit union reckoned I needn't worry or bother going to court some day 2 weeks ago .That...

    Want to get FL1 XDi later this year :)

    Buy one with knackered old shock and buy a new set of munroes for under 300 quid . Dont buy a sport,much lower and less of a section of tyres on 17" rims or i could be absolutely wrong , again . :welcome:

    I am driving on borrowed time or luck .

    I am putting off changing the timing belts ,tenssioner and water pump and bits until the clutch feels like it NEEDS to be done . I changed the engine at 170 for a 40-50 k engine a few years ago . I am even putting off giving it its usual 5-6k service . The whole cost and making a complete...

    wish I never bought a freelander.

    What you need to begin to realise is that LR dealers hate(with a passion) freelanders . They hate working on them and try to not think about them . Give yours back to the dealers and buy one along with new spanners and socket set and a Haynes manual . EDT :C and a good jack a few blocks...

    Star wheel drum brake adjustment

    The adjuster is behind the hand brake lever . You might need to replace the cables . The star nut thingy is really only used for loosening the shoes .I could be wrong. Welcome back .

    Did you buy a new MAP sensor ? If so ,where from and how much ? I see you fitted a new coolant temp sensor ,so that's most likely not your new problem .

    Header tank problem

    I wouldn't worry about it . Might be worth watching for someone breaking a freelander locally ,and pick up a tank for a fiver . Look at this €700 for a 99 L series . Land Rover freelander for sale in Kilkenny : €700 - DoneDeal.co.uk . I'd buy it just for a few bits and bobs . Maybe whip...
