    New member New Zealand 2008 Freelander next to my 1982 G-Wagon LWB

    Welcome - nice F2, and others! Head over to the Freelander threads like @marjon says - plenty of help there. I've done loads on my F1 and then my F2 with their help, and still learning. There are a few guys on here from NZ, including @GrumpyGel . (Don't worry about his name - he's only grumpy...

    Gearbox hesitation

    Blimey - that’s low mileage! It’s now 14 years old; I’d certainly expect it to need a gearbox oil change, and that would be my first item to do in order to try to address a general ‘gearbox’ issue, unless you have a code reader and a specific fault code?

    Gearbox hesitation

    Have you renewed the gearbox oil at all?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Crankshaft sensor would be my go-to number 1 quick change. I know on the F1, a faulty one can often not throw a code. Assume the same on a 2…

    I would just like to say

    Is Ernie a sheeps? Pervert.

    Spicy Lane in Wales

    Yes - nice to see some controlled and respectful driving. And very reserved vehicles that are simply capable. Vids like these make me want to get an old 90. My wife and my bank manager say different!

    I would just like to say

    What, it’s gone past 15 degrees?

    Decision time - go all in, or sell?

    That’s a keeper.

    Freelander 1 New-to-me FL1 TD4 2006 - smoke on startup and doesn't get up to temp

    I’m in Kent, just outside of Ashford. I have full diag kit for F1, if ever you need some help.

    Spacer left behind one of the wheels?

    UK return for an Afirrcan Overland truck

    I’ve just checked with a colleague - 40’ container UK to Durban or Cape Town is currently $2675 US., quayside to quayside. Appreciate that’s just the sea ‘movement’.

    Freelander 1 OR window kapput(not tailgate).

    I recently fitted a cheap one on my daughter’s F1. Easy job and works fine. Ordered here; https://carwindowregs.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19304879901&gbraid=0AAAAABnU4nvmgZzNYpVQXL4WH3NAOx1Yi

    Disco 2 Current stock of D2’s, am I delusional?

    3 kids in 2 weeks? Blimey, she must be knackered and a medical marvel. 😁
