If the engine light has lit once, there should be a code stored to read. This will direct you better than changing parts randomly.

Knock taper pin out of door stay. Remove 2 x circlips. Unplug wiring behind foot kick panel. Lift off door in fully open position. It is a bit heavy !!!

With 'no codes', are you sure the diagnostic equipment is correctly connecting to the LR protocol? There are few devices that read the LR correctly.

Happening more and more. Someone bid and won the auction. No contact, no response... Will be relisting and black strike for buyer !! Why, oh why do peeps bid when they dont want something??? Wastes everyone's time and money. Weird !

Counted them. It's getting out of hand :rolleyes: and that's just the ones on the road.

2002 and earlier had hex head bolts .. Small ring ratchet spanner is then your friend. Progress for you 😀

While it is off, check and / or replace the O ring on the coolant rail. Impossible to get off without removing pump and stat. Or rail which is harder !! A new pump comes with a new gasket which requires the old one, if original, to be cut off as...

Not yet but not used in anger. Never had worries about brakes on the F1. Check the calipers are free and slides are free as this reduces brake pad force applied.

Still quiet, that's the main thing !! No noticeable increase in noise and brakes work fine. Not had any 'performance braking' yet because I don't want to glaze these as well !!

Indeed. The only useful advice I have found is the cooling vanes direction is important and the photos in the post above with curved grooves breaking out of the edge require a specific direction. The ones I fitted did not have a groove that cut...

Auction ends tomorrow!! Still time to buy this beauty 😍

Confused !! There were so many opinions out there and no absolute answer so I asked the manufacturer. Key thing is if the vents in-between the discs are angled. These are not but their orientation matters to pull air in. The slotted grooves...

Thread 'Tailgate window motor components' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/tailgate-window-motor-components.335936/ Have a read at my research and findings !

The glass position when closed is indicated by a hall effect sensor in the motor assembly. When it stops moving the CCU knows glass is up. As above, recalibrate with glass in and see what happens. In have had defective sensors which can be...

New vented, grooved discs fitted. Ceramic grease where needed. All brake dust cleaned out. Wheels cleaned too !! See how it goes. Was quiet on test drive. Need to bed them in for a few hundred miles.

I tried an aluminium welding stick and a gas torch. All super clean and it flowed nicely but obviously not gas tight. Soapy bubbles proved that !!

That looks like the under dash fan loom. Let me know, might be able to source what you need.

As above, can you post photos of what you are calling the air con loom?

That would be fab. Thanks. My scrappie has got 3 x TD4s so no use. Will post photo. Will also check it is straightforward to take off as it is under the alternator !! 🫣

Original is leaking at the weld. Tried to aluminium weld but still leaks.

Looking for an air con hose please. Compressor to Condenser. Part no JUF 000460 1.8 Petrol 2003. Anyone got one ? Thanks Thread 'Freelander 1 1.8 Air Con Hose' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-1-8-air-con-hose.399630/

Hi, Looking for the air con hose that runs compressor to condenser. 2003 1.8 Petrol Freelander. Labelled JUF000460 In working condition please. Thanks. Please PM with any offers.

Would love to see the AA person's face when you call them out and they open the bonnet !! 🫢 Great work.

MOT'd the G4. No advisories but the horn clock spring wire went open circuit on way to MOT so had to replace the clock spring. It passed OK then !!

Switch on brake pedal allows stick to move out of park. I think it is the small hall effect one, not the brake lamp switch. Maybe come unplugged or out of alignment. Or broken !!

So according to supplier they should be as red stripes. So the one in the photo is fitted wrong. If I understand the majority replies above, this would mean the opposite to the views presented. Am I understanding correctly??

So shiny Handed discs. Must get right way around! Wow. No instructions and many you tubes that contradict !! Most say slots sloping to rear of car. Some say slots facing forward to cut into the pad in direction of travel !! Anyone have...

Arrive tomorrow. Fit at weekend. Yours needed to be done last month 🫣

Few more and electric F1 is possible !!

But does it start ok?? I found that over 1V is dropped in the immob module. One of my vehicles has a button feed straight to the starter for cold weather and even when the battery won't operate the starter via the immob, the button does !! Charge...
