Not if it works with the fobs !! It is usually fine and being low power UHF it is line of sight anyway.

Cylinder 1 is engine front (if mounted traditionally for a rear wheel drive!) so on a Freelander with a transverse engine cylinder 1 is the water pump and crank pulley end.

Looks like the aerial for the 430MHz receiver for the remote fobs. Photo not very clear though.

These fit the Freelander 1. Might they work here ?? https://ebay.us/m/Laltre

Looks clean. Much better name than the bent spoon or ****ed fork !! Glad it worked out ok. As you may have read, I have 6 or so FL1s

Sounds tight to me. Ideally you adjust shoes as you have done but with cable slackened right off at the handbrake to avoid upsetting the adjustment. Then set handbrake to 1 click and adjust the cable to make the drums just rub. Then release handbrake and check all free. Usually 5 or 6 clicks...

Wow it's at the top 😁 Many thanks.

@blue beasty Any chance of pinning this until 14th Sept please ??

If the ball joint is still good and no rot on arms then yes. New boots !!

Only 5 weeks away. Having a meeting this week to agree and order some FL goodies. More / different can be obtained after the event if they are a success ! This event is open to all Freelander owners (others might find it dull). I have a list of those who have already said that they are...

Sold. Thanks.

Alternator is not difficult, but not a roadside job !! If you have aircon then the compressor needs to be removed and tied out of the way.

Here's your answer https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/belt-tensioner-urgent-help.392040/page-2 Looks like the 24mm bolt is a reverse thread so pulling it forward should only tighten it, however, remove small pulley underneath and fit spanner to back of tensioner. Some say 13mm, some 15mm...
