it's the reverse band that I'm stuggling to find. It seems silly to put it back in with a known weak part

I spent last saturday under the car and removed the subframe and IRD. I might get the PG1 out today or tomorrow. I need to order a heavy duty reverse band, and a torque converter oil seal for the Jatco, as they might be going in quite soon. Can anyone tell me where I can get them from? One...

ECU powered up on the bench rather than installed in an actual vehicle. It often results in some very odd data.

I believe that the early Freelander 1 used Wabco-D ABS. There are details of that here:- https://pscan.uk/features/wabcod.html

anyone else? as GrumpyGel has forgotten in which continent he lives

I just did the same job yesterday. So far I have the subframe off, drive shafts out, exhaust off and the IRD is out. I didn't need to split the bottom ball joints. I removed the two bolts holding the hub to the strut and this gives enough movement to pull the drive shafts out. Then I removed...

Hi I'm trying to improve the diagnostic protocol for the EDC 1.3.1 ECUs, used in Freelander 1 L-series diesels. I have gotten to the point that really I need access to a vehicle with a running engine. Is anyone able to help out? thanks, Philip

I believe that the crank sensor arrangement is the same on all K-Series, except for the Rover 75. There is tooth pattern in the back of the flywheel (opposite side to the clutch plate), except for the Rover 75 where the teeth are cut into the Dual Mass Flywheel, or the side of the torque...

It took me a lot longer than it should have, but, MS43 is now supported. This ECU does have basic OBD2 support, but, connecting to it using the proprietary Landrover protocol (which pscan now has) reads significantly more data.

I mean the front left loop that's bolted to the chassis leg.

My wife's old Freelander hit a Prius that pulled out in front of her. The initial point of impact was that towing eye. It utterly destroyed the front of the Prius. The Freelander would have survived if the impact hadn't triggered the airbags resulting in an cat B assessment from the insurance...

The front towing eye bolts on. Make a bracket that bolts on instead of the front towing eye that takes a 50mm ball?

They have different firmware or maps. It's best to use a TD4 ECU for a TD4 gearbox. There are far more TD4 ECUs around than V6 ones. You can tell by decoding the VIN number on the ECU (paper sticker in your photo starting SALLNABE).

Ron is a top bloke. Read his story here Edit. I can't link to him because this forum won't allow me to link to autosxxxxe You have to google for this phrase "Tales of a new business, trials and endless uphill battles by Jikovron" Edit2: He has a website of his own...

Fitted to the block. The idea is that the disc on the end of the fake crank is a near interference fit in the bell housing. I can now make an adapter plate from 6mm steel plate and the fake crank forces the centre line of the gearbox to line up with the centre line of the engine:-

This week I spent a day with Ron at Reeds' Retro Motorworks in Whatstandwell. 1st job he cut the K series trigger wheel off of an old Rover 75 dual mass flywheel:- Apparently it was quite hard to do because the hardness of the metal varied because it had been welded in places and also due to...

no I think there's only 21
