    Freelander 1 Aftermarket CV axles

    Yes, I figured I could fix the wire myself if it's obvious enough. Forgot to mention that the axle/IRD seal also broke while in service, or sometime before. Mechanic stated it was already leaking when they took it in. Either the seal was bad and started leaking when I filled it up a week ago...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Finished the last round of painting my sump guard. Previous owner had made one (reworked from some other vehicle) himself and it had some rust and dents. Ground off the rust and most of the paint, primed in black and painted the bottom in olive. At least I'll be able to tell with a quick glance...

    Freelander 1 Aftermarket CV axles

    Wheel bearing(left rear) changed and CV Axle(RH) replaced at garage. What has changed: - Less vibration and shudder - TC and ABS lights are on constantly Originally it was going in to have the LH CV changed, but now they said RH was worse off. They plugged the OBD scanner for the error lights...

    Older F1 EML? (SOLVED)

    It's harder to prove something doesn't exist than that it does. I would assume any MOT would know of the cut-off years for various features. I tried looking at the RAVE, but I wasn't able to find anything regarding this(it's a bit out of scope). Maybe showing the wiring diagrams, but I doubt...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Took my "new" Freelander 1 to a trusted mechanic. Looking to hear from him tomorrow. I have little experience with 4x4 or land rovers so I'm asking him to diagnose my rattle/shudder. I wasn't able to narrow it down at home, but I'm leaning towards CV joint, most likely on engine end. The boots...

    Freelander 1 Poor Radio reception...

    Have you tried a completely external antenna, just as a test?

    Freelander 1 Aftermarket CV axles

    Yeah, it's for a less used daily driver, so changing yearly sounds a bit tedious. I'll try to find a more convenient supplier for GKN. I hope it doesn't come to changing both. Appreciate it!

    Freelander 1 Aftermarket CV axles

    Hello everyone! New member, but this subject is probably as old as my vehicle(2000 Freelander 1). I'm probably up for a change of CV Axle(s). I have a mean shudder at acceleration in the 4th gear, around 50-70km/h. Due to delivery times, price and EU, I'm looking for any half-decent...
