Pure magic 😀

Yes on hard braking but not noticeable with normal brake pedal pressure... Left one has started to squeal ! Argh...

While ignoring this most popular thread. Publicity opportunity for the many ignorers!! https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/andyfreelandys-get-together-north-devon-september-13th.398282/post-5873023

Wow it's at the top 😁 Many thanks.

@blue beasty Any chance of pinning this until 14th Sept please ??

If the ball joint is still good and no rot on arms then yes. New boots !!

Only 5 weeks away. Having a meeting this week to agree and order some FL goodies. More / different can be obtained after the event if they are a success ! This event is open to all Freelander owners (others might find it dull). I have a list...

Sold. Thanks.

Alternator is not difficult, but not a roadside job !! If you have aircon then the compressor needs to be removed and tied out of the way.

Here's your answer https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/belt-tensioner-urgent-help.392040/page-2 Looks like the 24mm bolt is a reverse thread so pulling it forward should only tighten it, however, remove small pulley underneath and fit...

Didnt need to check. Not never ever seen one in my life !! 😃

Sorry, never even seen one !! As you have no ABS they are a bit special. Unlikely to be faulty but why not crack the pipes and bleed at that point then reconnect and bleed. See if they have an air lock. This whole saga is a mystery.

And why you have 42 fuses ?!?!?

No. I have no idea what is wrong with me, if I'm honest. Anyway, I carried out the test as per instructions and all seems good. Thanks for taking the time and trouble, as always.

I haven't got 40 plus fuses in the fuse box anyway on mine !! 1. Plugging in a fuse when there isn't one is dodgy and could cause a fire. It may have been removed for a reason or is not fitted to your model. 2. Plugging another fuse in still...

As stated. Test it to see if working before changing anything. 30 second job.

Not quite ! Lower readings will show the alternator is not charging for some reason which will need to be traced through to find the reason.

Ohh it's all grown up. Looks good, just have to be good at targetted throwing of all the things one needs !!

Voltmeter across battery and start it up. 12 ish Volts before starting. 13.5 to 14.5 when running.

Mine have now bedded in. I believe that short notice hard braking appears to be better. Should have done distance check on an emergency stop before and after the change of discs.

@kernowsvenski Have you done those wafer thin discs yet ?? 🫣

https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-seats.399576/ Speak to this guy. He wanted to take out his leather seats. You could swap !

Worth trying the simple first !! https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/td4-manual-clutch-bleed-tips.398867/ Sorted mine. Big job, clutch change on a Freelander.

You can also get telecopic free standing step ladders. Not as cool I grant you, but you would be able to move them around the vehicle.

You can get collapsible step ladders as used by estate agents and surveyors. https://ebay.us/m/ktU54j

You'll need the rear door ladder. Oh dear, F2 has no wheel bracket. Time to design a ladder mount for an F2 ??

@Dar ran Dar ran Bought a 27k mile TD4 and a 53k TD4 sport. Depends how it had been stored. The 27k was garaged and mint. The Sport had been stored unused and had a flat battery and headlining droop. Also seized calipers and worn out discs All...

The trailer indicator lamp is only fed from the flasher unit, or should be! Do you have a tow bar and a 4 pin flasher unit? If not then there is defo a false feed coming from somewhere. Do you mean relays in dash or engine bay?? Will have a...

Easier to remove link arms from subframe end. Long bolt through hub rarely moves without cutting! Then beware of flexi brake hose but suspension leg pulls out enough to disconnect driveshaft from diff.
