    Hello Again!

    Oh okay! I was afraid to lift the clutch with the fronts in the air for more than a second 😂 I will see how it goes on the weekend anyway but appreciate the help!

    Hello Again!

    So upon my other thread getting it started, I may have just forgotten how the clutch feels as haven't driven her in 5 or 6 months but the clutch pedal now it is all back together feels very.... Smooth, It's weird to say I know as that means it's good, but I never changed the fluid. I know the...

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    Yeah this happens to mine almost everytime, I just push it back in while having the clutch fork pushed all the way forward (into the gearbox) then with some grit it finally goes in and then just press the clutch pedal a few time and it'll be okay. If you pressed it while it was out the worst...

    Freelander 1 Driver Door does not unlock with Fob

    Not on a budget but I do like doing that, I did it for the rear door not opening, what motor did you get?

    Brake Fluid

    I normally buy my brake fluid in 4L bottles, it is wayyyy to much but much cheaper than getting 1L bottles then running out halfway through, you never know how much dirt or air is in there so I would honestly recommend just getting too much then being able to use it again in the future, store it...

    Freelander 1 fault code P0130.

    In that case it should be similar to my 1.8, I will be working on the headers this weekend, I can grab some pics for you if you like?

    Freelander 1 fault code P0130.

    I think this may help: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/lambda-sensor-plug-location.281149/ sounds like you need to access it from the centre console.

    Freelander 1 fault code P0130.

    Ah there you are then :p I still think Rust is going to be your main gripe, if you have a blowtorch, minding the wires, put it to use, great for rusty bolts and nuts

    Freelander 1 fault code P0130.

    Looks like this is for the 2005 1.8, it should not be hugely hard I believe it is located on the exhaust manifold headers and the issue will be that it is rusted in. Good luck! I am sure someone will be able to provide more accurate details with pictures.

    Freelander 1 Converting from wasted spark to distributor (or Visa Versa)

    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...

    Hello Again!

    A question if anyone can answer I need to replace the washers on the Gearbox and IRD however I cannot find any part numbers for this anywhere! not reliably anyway, they all say sump washer but the gearbox and IRD are leaking since last replacement as I couldn't find washers back then either...

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    That plate is the WORST! You're not doing anything wrong it caused me to have to take the gearbox out thrice before I finally got it, because otherwise you will either crack the bell housing when bolting it up or you won't have a clutch, I couldn't agree more the gearbox is a pain in the ass...

    Freelander 1 Driver Door does not unlock with Fob

    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...

    Brake Shield and MOT

    Freelander 1 Houston we have a problem!!!!

    Which tensioner? I have recently been doing my tensioners depending on what belt you mean and what model of Freelander you have it changes. There is the cambelt pulley tensioner of which the bolt is recommended to be replaced when undone anyway so may as well send it home if it is stuck 😂...

    LED side lights not working

    Yes this! I Broke so many LED Sidelights before I found out what was killing them, granted it was not on my Freelander but LED's are LED's
