    Freelander 1 Another Newbie

    Last year we drove down through Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania. The border crossing were awful in the heat wave. This year we are going down through France and Italy and then catching the ferry. Can't wait to be honest. But I have a lot to get done before...

    FACELIFT Freelander 2005 outer front CV joint - specialized ?

    I had no issue like that. Just took the abs ring off and it fitted fine. I thought the older driveshaft was more or less the same except for the reluctor ring?

    FACELIFT Freelander 2005 outer front CV joint - specialized ?

    I came across this issue when I replaced my driveshafts last year. The new driveshaft came with the reluctor ring attached, so I just tapped the ring off. I don't think there was any other difference.

    Freelander 1 Front Cross Member Removal?

    I'll be on the lookout for another door at some point but at the moment keeping it running has been a priority. I've had other Landys in the past but the Freelander is very practical. Plus I doubt I could afford one now! Fathers day ill be under it.

    I see you've done 180k in yours? It helps when you know how its been maintained. But there is definitely some anxiety over such a long trip. I just try to cover all bases I can.

    Freelander 1 Front Cross Member Removal?

    Hello I have a Freelander 2005 and I'm looking for a little help and advice. Took the towing eye cover off and my front cross member is rotten. I can't take the bumper off until I go to my dads at the weekend, so I was wondering if anybody had experience with them. Is it bolted in place or...
