Why not try to seat the one that has stripped first and leave / avoid damage to others if you can? It might hold with the correct insertion.

Yes but the stud with the stripped aluminium on it looked like it was only 3 threads into the head from your photo. So by removing the nut from the stud and fitting it fully in it might hold ok?? Always lock 2 nuts on the end of the stud. Wind it fully home then remove locked nuts, fit...

Just a thought. The stud in your photo looked very short. Worth putting something thin in the hole to gauge depth and seeing if a longer thread would hold in the inner part of the hole???

Seeing as it is tightened to 300 + lb-ft, hopefully it's on more than a jack !! Clock or no clock 😃

Normal direction thread. Stretch bolt so replace that too.

Have spare pulley (s) !!

Here you go. Thread 'Aux and aircon belts tips' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/aux-and-aircon-belts-tips.298634/ Use a 15/16 inch AF or 24mm (less good fit) on the tensioner with an extension pipe to get leverage and watch your fingers !!

Good news 👏 Worth pursuing.

Merch is arriving.

To crank the car needs the key chip in the key head to be inside the round rubber ring around the ignition switch, then the immobiliser, which has a small relay in sends a signal to the starter relay which sends a voltage to the starter solenoid which makes up contacts and cranks the starter...

Thanks to @Ross Tait there is a solution to key chip programming. Anyone got an Autel KM100 they can bring to demonstrate the functions??

Wrong. See above. Freelander 2 this applies to.

Ditto. The fill hose looks like it might absorb leaks from higher up. The common leak is the sealing ring around the fuel gauge sender float. As above, screwed on plate under rear seat carpet. If leaking top of tank will have pools of fuel in.

Result !! Thanks 😊
