Absolutely free way to lift suspension. Take all unnecessary components off and up it goes ! Biggest difference was made when the insulation tape was taken off the wiring loom. Have a great DAY 👍 See photos. .

Now sold. Many thanks.

Hi, anyone done this? If you take out the bottom tie bar bolts will the hub pull forward enough to get driveshaft out and clear of hub?? Looking to help a mate and all bolts look horrid and rusty along with the brake cylinder bolts and corroded alloy wheel brake cylinder thread. All of which...

All Freelander 1 spares available (most of the time!) Also a good TD4 engine complete (still in vehicle) and a TD4 MOT failure to clear. Good engine, box (manual) and IRD. Rusted rear subframe. Please ask, got most stuff on the shelf. Can deliver large items within 30 miles of South Molton...

For model year 2000 onwards, so vented discs, these are really good value. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116056048951?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ClR2X1DmSLG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=b5qQSb6hQNK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

So having put 10k miles on the TD4 Sport. One annoying thing is a minor oil leak at rear of engine. Impossible to see where from but it is certainly right at the top. Also oil, not diesel, sitting around injectors. Figured best bet is to clean and refurb a complete set of plastics, manifold...

More for interest really. My 2003 TD4 Sport had only half a screen demist working. Didn't worry too much but thought I'd check it when I had time. Took scuttle plastic off today to repair an intermittent park contact on the wipers. But importantly I noticed the front screen wire had been cut...

That is the question ! What is the current thinking and what process if yes. Cherry red and cool slowly in air? Many thanks

Some clarification please. My FBH runs at 5 degrees or below which is correct. When the car is fully warmed up and outside temperature still below 5 degrees it still runs. Reading RAVE, the internal FBH ECU should detect the coolant temperature and then control the FBH as required. Do I have...

I have a perfect condition tailgate seal on a scrap vehicle. I want to reuse it. Has anyone worked out how to dissolve the adhesive mastic at the top in order to get it off the metalwork without ripping the seal? Thanks.

Question for the Zone and the Mods please. As we are all noting that FL1s are now becoming rarer, parts are drying up, tatty ones are cheap and low mileage ones are rare (and usually expensive), could we have a thread that lists links to good condition low mileage FL1s ? Many of us spot them...

For information really and you may get the same fault - who knows ! Had an interesting one into the workshop today. ABS, TC and HDC all lit up. With Engine management light too. Several faults I think to myself. ABS fault codes; C1067 Right Rear Sensor, C1051 Left Front Sensor, C1035 Right...

Wondered if Freelander 1 came with gas shocks as standard? Doing a top bearing on a front strut. Car drives fine and bounce test fine but no gas pushing strut out when removed. Maybe it is a non gas type ? Anyone know ? Thanks

Just stripped a good TD4 2002 engine as the crankshaft had failed. No damage to other parts except the crankshaft and the block. Shaft failed at pulley end. Have: Cylinder head with valves and rockers £100 Camshafts 4 good pistons All engine bracketry and pipes. Please ask for what you need...

Mentioned this a while back but as there has been interest I am reporting back !! When I bought my TD4 Sport with 18 inch rims 4 of the Continental Contact 235/50 needed replacement due to cracks. Replacement tyres the same would have been about £640 for 4. Bought a set of the above for £60...

More an observation really. Most TD4s I have driven give the turbo spool whine at about 1750rpm. Now my Sport, being the quickest and most responsive TD4 I have ever driven (and I have driven loads) lets out a whine at 1750rpm and then another lesser one at around 2750rpm. Any ideas ?? I'm...

Looking for a set of tyres for the Sport. FL1. Has anyone got knowledge of these?? They are about 50% of the cost of 18 inch tyres. I can replace all 4 to match as only one is as new. Others are old and cracking up. I can understand that they may not last as long but at about £70 each are...

So a hot brake last week. A pair of new calipers and pins and all bled and tested. Cool with no brake application. Even warmth with gentle brake application. What could possibly go wrong ?? Went to the coast today, not sure why!! On way back brake smell. Both front brakes hot. Pumped pedal a...

Here she is. Brilliant condition. Will be fitting Freelander running gear and making it into a 3 wheel drive off roader. 100cm lift kit and 18 inch wheels. Tricky bit is the uj at the front wheel for power will need some fabrication. Any other good ideas to build in while it is in the design...
