Hey all! I've been looking ALOT for some better suspension upgrades for off-road for the my '00 Freelander 1 1.8 but honestly I can find NOTHING, other than MM Lift kit which I already have and the stock suspension. I realise for the MacPherson strut it can be quite hard to find, however I...

Hey all! again! I know I have quite a few posts, I just want to keep all issues separate for tracking, I will be sure to update all posts when and if they are solved. I want to start with I know how to bleed brakes and I have done on this car multiple times (replacing brake lines) However I...

Hey! As per usual I am having issues, at this point I work on this car for mechanical experience and not for the economic value 😂 Though recently the engine has been drinking coolant so I think it's going to need a HG so I ran a compression test... 175psi on all cylinders, It could be that my...

Hey all! Thought I would ask for everyone's opinions as recently my MOT place was super confused as they think my EML has been blanked? Now... I thought that because this car F1 1.8 2000 is technically before the OBD-2 Requirement it does not have an EML hence it never showed up, I've seen...

Hey! been a while all but I am stumped on this one! I have a 1999/2000 1.8K where I replaced the engine with that came a new exhaust downpipe that includes the flex pipe however it is rubbing on the IRD pinion when trying to drive because it is not bolted up where it used to (To the IRD Pinion)...

Hey all! I am installing a new Thermostat on my Pre 2001 Xei but will need the new hoses and was looking at spicing it up a bit, has anyone used the kit from Stoney Racing, are they any good? If there is any mod I like it is coloured coolant hoses. Thank you!

Hey all! I spent the last 5 ish hours getting bolt sizes and ordering hundreds of bolts for not only spares but since replacing the engine gearbox and Prop I have lost many-a-bolt Mainly the skid plate bolts, I had them in a tub, and as the car has been off the road for about 6 months during...

Hey all! Bit of an unusual one from me, I have my eyes on a TD4 FL2 that is going for £650 with only 60K Miles on the clock as the clutch has gone and they cannot afford to change it, how hard is a clutch replacement? I believe that LUK is a decent brand? Do correct me if I am wrong. My...

Hey all! I am working on getting this silly rear door back to fully working again but I am having many troubles I think the main issue stems from the huge rust hole in the door handle carrier. Now the door handle has fallen off again we need this sorted. To those that have purchased new rear...

Hey! Looking for Rear Tail Boot Glass if anyone is selling them near the south of England :mad:

Hello all! I am a few months late to this as I was really just lurking in the Freelander forum But I have a FL1 1.8K Series that I have at this point built from the ground up but only driven a couple hundred miles :mad: But it has been fun and an experience all so friendly here! So Hey!

Hey! So I may need to replace the driveshaft on my 1.8 FL1 but I have heard the GKN ones are worth the cost as they are not cheap rubbish. I took a look and at £60 for one or £100 for two non GKN ones for one GKN one at £320 is it really worth it! I would expect for 6x the price they last 6x...

I am putting this here in the event that either anyone here needs this or I do in the future after my most recent engine replacement as most engines available now are the wasted spark model (Coil Packs) instead of the older distributor model some key differences and I could NOT find a guide on...

Hey all! I have been reading across some forums where people are having issues with doors not unlocking / locking with the Fob. Since I got my 1.8 F1 the Driver door has never unlocked with the fob but it does lock, I always thought that this was just how it was and didn't give it a second...

Well... I didn't think this would come so soon 😅 For those that don't care about the essay I am about to post don't click the links below as these posts show the series of events (TLDR at the bottom); https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/right.392366/#post-5696058 < Here I bought the Landy...

So, Today went very badly. I finally got the exhaust fixed and replacement prop however upon finally starting the car after my last encounter where it suddenly stopped then smoked from the intake, it would crank nice and easy, however it would not start up, it sounded like it was losing...

Hey! Me again, finally got my exhaust will fit that this weekend, I also found a used prop of facebook so we will see how that goes but it was nice and cheap, the plan is to fit the new prop test it, if it is good, then while running this one work on reconning my current one which has been...

I have been thinking for a while about this now and anytime I am under my Freelander I can see it. (This applies to the 1.8 Petrol I am not sure about the TD4 engine layout) First of all you may think track car? no chance on earth. But I think it is plausible yes with an unprecedented amount...

Hey so I have a Petrol 1.8 and a Diesel 2.0 TD4 (Parts car) I may need to replace the Gearbox (another thread in question) but I am of the understanding that the gearbox from the TD4 does not fit the 1.8 Petrol. However... This suggests that the 1.8 petrol and 2.0 Diesel are the same as long...

Hey all! I have been working on my land rover today. For context I have a Freelander 1 1.8 petrol along with a 2.0 TD4 that has rust out of the wazoo so it is a donor parts car (Unable to pass MOT or reasonably be repaired). However I think I have had a huge issue now... I've had a shaky prop...
