Evening All, Going to change the gearbox and Ird oil tomorrow anybody know the grades and amounts per unit. Thanks, also has anybody tried to put a 300tdi in a freelander :eek::pound: Celt69

That what I thought, seemed a very odd thing. when cars come through my workshop if the heads' gone its' gone simple as that.

Hi all, I was in my local parts' centre yesterday and saw on the shelf a bottle of head gasket repair liquid. apparently if your head gasket has gone you pour this stuff into your cooling system and it fixes it. I spoke to one of the assistant about it and he said that people have given good...

Hi All, just a quick one, has anybody come across or experienced this noise. When driving the hippo is nice and quiet (Well quite as best she can be)however when I take foot off the throttle there seems to be some sort of humming noise coming from the passenger foot-well it can be heard it...

Hi All. Many thanks for the advice, will look into what is exactly wrong with the air before I buy it. Many thanks to you listerdiesel for the tip. Celt69

Hi All, I have been offered a Disco 2 with air suspension but been told there is a problem with the air suspension how easy is it to convert it to traditional spring and shocks if possible at all. Cheers in advance Celt69

Well one and all, Thought that I'd share this with you, last evening my little fl1 just toped the 200,000 mile mark in fact this morning it's 200.009:drum: and still going strong. they may have their faults but by god it's got me and the family out of a lot a trouble :beer2:

What a f*** rip off shame you don't life my neck of the woods, it looks like its made of tin I would make you one in the work-shop or re shape the original. That's the trouble living this far away from anybody, willing to help all where I can but live right down furthest part of the country.

If the deal is worth it take it and if you have the space back home keep the good ones or even use one for your' spare if it's better than that one you could even sell the god ones as part worn provided their decent enough;). celt69

Well said may be we should start writing letters of complaint to the mags, Oh by the way just thought i'd mention it I bet the copper who got his 110 stuck in the snow last year and my poor little so called faulty Freelander showed up pulled him out and then went back and pulled out the car he...

Welcome to the forum.:boxing: you will get a lot of crap info such as buy a gallon of petrol and set fire to it and the like but its just the lads having fun. There are some really good information on here especially on repairs and such. If you have any problems and you do repairs don't forget...

I agree with the above, if the garage supplied the part they are responsible to put it right. Regardless of what they say looks like they are looking for a meal ticket here in my opinion. See as I have said before its people like these that give garages a bad name. you could as sais claim the...

These two are right. if all else fails grab the gaffer by the throat and deck him

Hi All I have been told that my gearbox has a leak somewhere :((although no oil seen on floor) I was wondering if anybody has used a brand called No-leak on the internet is seem to have a good review. Cheers in advance Celt69

Hi all I know this may not be the right place to post this so sorry in advance. does anybody in cornwall got an old freelander they don't want (MOT failure type about to go to the scrap yard) willing to pay the scrap man price for one I am looking for one for a project for my 18yr old for the...

Evening all, Was told today by garage that one of my rear sub frame mounts is broken inside chassis. They were reluctant to say which one, think he was hopping to get a job out of it. But I am a welder/fabricator so will do it myself in my workshop. so question is before I dismantle sub frame...

evening All, Can anybody recommend a good quality grade and make of gearbox oil for my 99 2ltr diesel Cheers in advance Celt69

If someone wants to post some pic's here with measurements I will have a look to see if I can produce something decent in the work shop to hold the weight of the tank. celt69

You'll never know the answer until you try it. however I would change all four not just the one for balance issues. Try it and let us know how you get on. When I spent some time out in the bush in South Africa many years ago we would salvage/cannibalise different parts off anything we could get...

Hi all, Does anybody know what camber the tracking on a 99 2lt diesel is (Eg 5deg toe in or toe out ect) cheers in advance Celt69:beer2:
