Hi, the auxiliary belt has an automatic tensioner so you can't tighten it. As @Stanleysteamer says Gates (or Contitech/Dayco I used Dayco belt & tensioner on mine, 3 years old now, no squeals etc).

Anyone heard if & why the spares day has been cancelled this Sunday 21st ?

Hi, I notice it's a facelift model but the description in the ad says it's EU2, I thought all facelift models were EU3 ?

Replaced the rear wiper arm with s/h one (from Newbury last week) & blade on the D2. Ever since I've had it the wiper only cleared half the rear screen (despite new Bosch blade). I'd had the same problem on my FL1 after I fitted a pattern arm & ended up buying a genuine one which cured it. So...

Hi & welcome. No such thing as a ridiculous question so don't worry posting any questions as we've all had to start somewhere, all the best.

If you are having trouble (bleeding) don't forget there is a bleed valve on the steering box as well but as @meego says never had to use it.

Turn that bl##dy music down🤣🤣🤣

Hi, you might be best getting hold of a thread pitch guage or pop to any engineering firm & they can measure the pitch for you, before running bolts through, std pitch is probably 1.75 or 2.00. Having just done radius arm bushes on mine I know the m16 bolts are 1.50 fine pitch items (so they can...

Hi, the red connectors look fine as does the black connector on the cylinder head cover. On a side note if you want to stop the oily mess around the cylinder head cover area (mine was like that as per my pic, post no 3) you can replace or reseal the round seal on the end of the head area, it...

Hi, two things that gave me intermittent MIL light on my TD4 were collapsing intercooler pipe, no splits or anything, looked fine, just collapsing under acceleration but not always & the MAF sensor again not every time I drove it until it failed completely.

Hi Stan hope you're keeping well, I'll have to double check mine but it might have been I'd removed them when cleaning the connectors & took the pics before re-fitting the seals, or they've gone walkies in the original owners time !

Hi, welcome to the asylum. If it hasn't been checked the wiring loom with the red connector (to the ECU) & the ECU (next to the battery) itself get contaminated with oil from the injector harness (replace injector harness if oil is present with genuine item) , if you have oil there it's worth...

If you grab a copy of LRM they put all the spares day & camping event dates in there or look on their website & sign up for emails & they send you details/reminders of up & coming events.

The Billing show is 29th & 30th of June. There's also one in May at Malvern Hills 18-19th of May.

I got a strut mount kit from JGS4X4 (2 top mounts) RNX100101 see link https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/freelander-1-front-shock-absorber-upper-strut-mount-top-bearing-x2/

Hi, the top mounts/bearings are all the same from c/no 1A000001 until end of production. If you click on the item no's in the link I sent in post 18 i.e no 1 for the spring & no 8 for the damper it will show you what is what concerning std & sport suspension ( item 6 is the top mount)...

Thanks, food for thought. I've noticed the illumination isn't working in the on/off, auto, screen & recirculate buttons the rest is ok so might just use genuine.

Hi, what year is your FL & is it a facelift model ?

Hi, hope your keeping well, yeah sure is as it has all the prices as well. I've noticed a lot of genuine bits on flea bay are often over priced & some s/h bits are close to new or dearer ! I always check before buying bits.

Hi, our posts have crossed:). I don't think LR would have changed the cast lug position on the dampers as the steering rod just pivots on the bush in it (rack end) & the damper end has a ball joint so nothing is in a 'fixed' position to warrant making a different damper, all the best.
