    Greenlaning nr Guildford?

    Is there anything that can be done to try and object this from happening. This one is interesting to, where I have moved to there are lots of Bridleways which only allow authorised vehicles, odd place to put a public car park half way along it then, as well as loads of people houses that they...

    Freelander 1 Reverse Lights not working on morning start

    Hello All, I have a rather annoying fault with my reverse lights. When I first start the freelander and put it in reverse I notice the lights are not working, however by the time I get to work and reverse in to a parking bay they work fine. Also since noticing this fault during my journey to...

    Freelander 1 Rear Diff Pinion Seal

    Have you checked the breather as if that's blocked it can build pressure to cause leaking seals

    Freelander 1 Rear Diff Pinion Seal

    I like the counting method, I did buy the collapsable washes and new bolts as well the seal, just in case. Kinda of hoping I don't have to go down that far though, just remove bolt and seal, or is that a big no no, and must replace the washer to. Thanks for the reply

    Freelander 1 Rear Diff Pinion Seal

    Hello, Looking at replacing my rear pinion seal as it is leaking. Is there a good diy method with hand tools. I have seen the workshop manual pictures and it looks ok, or is the best left to a specialist. I am in the process of changing the VCU and bearings as I write this, so thought if I...

    Freelander 1 Tail Gate Micro Switch Possible Fault

    I don't think there is a problem with the window, I think its more to do with the door lock - window works perfectly going up and down on the internal switch and the fob. Though I can't insert the key and raise it back up in the tail gate lock, but thats a minor issue. More worried about the...

    Freelander 1 Tail Gate Micro Switch Possible Fault

    Hello All. While driving my 3 door facelift on some occasions the open door light on the dash appears which I have nailed it down to the tail gate door. Is there a fix for this, the door opens and closes fine as it should, though if the red light is still on the dash, the window will not go...

    Freelander 1 P0200 Injector Circuit Malfunction code

    Well we went on a motorway since I re did the cable ties, and all seems good for now. Just keeping an eye on it, I think if it does it again I will order either a new loom, or get the garage to change the injector.

    Freelander 1 P0200 Injector Circuit Malfunction code

    Managed to do the continuity test on the injector plugs to the electrical box and all was fine, typical. Did not find the fuel pressure switch like this one https://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/ff_part?part=17778, the only connection to the injectors all four of them go in to one square...

    Freelander 1 P0200 Injector Circuit Malfunction code

    I was planning to change if it is what is causing the miss fire on motorways. But was thinking a method of testing it for now. I wont be able to change the injector myself if that is at fault, its showing injector 1 or the loom on injector 1 as faulty. Just want to rule things out.
