    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 Brake Maintenance.

    afraid not they have to be wound back well back out of the way to change the pads then calibrated back in again as such. to try and force them you will end up damaging the motor check out the SDD post in the general section, probably the cheapest option to get you what you need

    Freelander 2 manual gear selector problem

    wow - only last week i was sitting in rush hour traffic in a small town and moved the gear stick from side to side to confirm neutral before i took my foot off the clutch and it stuck over to the right, thankfully that moment of panic (stuck on a one way system with a caravan on behind) wiggle...

    cam belt/water pump question

    with SDD the dealer diag tool, can save sessions, however it could be used that much in the dealership they probably don't, or would be like finding a needle in a haystack, that said - when i log into my FL2 with SDD it has historic codes cleared or not with a mileage and date stamp, however...

    cam belt/water pump question

    Possibly the engine control module ECM, compensated for the wrong timing initially, enough for you not to notice on the drive home from the garage, and again on the start of you long trip. But the more you drove the more the ECM changed things - exposing the fault? I rebuilt a GTiR engine for...

    I am not sure if battery chargers cut it. SDD needs 12.5V before it kicks into updates, even my heavy duty battery charger only puts out 11.8V going by SDD, so a PSU is a safe bet unless you can confirm what voltage it puts out. The stated 12V is just what battery it is for. That said I was...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) 3 Amigos?

    Getting HDC, ABS and traction control errors randomly ( is this the 3 amigos?) I thought it was down to a weak battery and cold weather but a scan reveled right rear wheel speed sensor. Question is is this likely to be a dirty ring? strip and clean job or is there another weak point that would...

    Great stuff pro. Can i ask what date is required for 139? I looked at VMplayer but as my windows 10 is 32 bit it got messy so i looked at Virtual Box again, got it sorted with a few extra steps, basically I have to stop the VB service on the VM and then run the batch file, which i modded for...

    ohh date thing - didn't spot that. there is a batch file on my SDD130 is that what you are referring to? I take it 160 will expire at some stage? and i need to get the batch file carried over?
