After 4 years of Freelander ownership I have gone back to having a proper Landy again, a 1980 Series 3. Paint work isn't great, in fact it looks like it was painted by a blind man in a hurry but structurally and mechanically it is great. Just drove 180 miles from Chelmsford at 60-65 mph with no...

Replaced the alternator belt, what a pain in the arse that was. Whoever designed the engine bay and thought that mounting the engine with 2" between the belt pulleys and inner wing was a good idea deserves to be fisted by a gorilla wearing boxing gloves! :mad:

I have Event ML698+'s which are basically a clone of the BF Goodrich A/T on my Freelander. So far they have done everything I need them to do. They have coped well with the quite muddy lanes I have done and muddy campsites were no problem at all, much better than the road tyres on a couple of...

Thanks guys, think I will leave this one well alone.

I'm a bit confused about this Land Rover. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154601909458?hash=item23fefdecd2:g:b-IAAOSwVgdfv2gP I am looking to buy a late Series III Land Rover or early Defender and came across this one. The age of the registration would correspond to it being a later series 3, but...

I'm selling some of my photography kit, apparently I have too much. I am selling my Canon A1 and a few lenses and other kit. The Camera is in good working condition with some external wear and paint chipping. I am selling it with 3 lenses, a 50mm Canon lens, a 135mm Canon lens and a 28mm Vivitar...

It was the VCU, I have fitted a new one and now there are no knocks, clunks, bangs or vibration.

Ok, so new VCU ordered. It is probably well past its best by now anyway at 120,000 miles.

The noise seems to be coming from the rear, but I can't be sure of that and the subframe seems to be ok.

I am getting really frustrated with the knocking/banging coming from under my Freelander. It sounds and feels like I am driving over a cattle grid. It is intermittent and can occur both when cornering and when driving in a straight line, it doesn't happen all the time and it usually happens at...

I don't think that the actual gearbox is a problem, but I think there may be a problem with fitting the series transfer box to the gearbox. You could use the Defender transfer box and have permanent 4 wheel drive but it is not an easy job to fit all the linkages and yes, you may need the 110 props.

The intercooler makes quite a big difference to a turbo engine's efficiency. The intake heater on your old Alfa Romeo was to prevent carb icing.

I don't think so. I think the Discovery 2 used the same wheels as the Range Rover P38, but I could be mistaken.

They are steel modulars. Common on Defenders and often seen on Disco's. They tend to fetch £20-£30 each depending on condition.

I have A/T's fitted to my FL1 now but in the past I have found that Avon ZX7's or Hankook Ventus Prime or RA28's work well. If good mileage is your only important criteria then there are others that will give better mileage and last longer, but I found the Avon and Hankook tyres to give a good...

Het kan ook de solenoïde zijn voor de versnellingsbak. U moet dit laten controleren als het oliepeil van de versnellingsbak correct is.

Hoe oud is de vloeistof in je versnellingsbak? Is het op het juiste niveau?

You can get an OEM one like this; https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/land-rover-freelander-td4-clutch-master-cylinder-pipe-oem-stc000020/ Or a Britpart one like this; https://www.paddockspares.com/stc000020-clutch-master-cylinder-rhd-2-0-diesel-td4.html Personally I would go for the OEM one, there is a...

What vehicle? What age? brake or clutch?

You will probably find that upgrading the brakes will make very little difference to your Disco's stopping performance unless you are regularly overheating the brakes. Stopping performance has far more to do with tyres than brakes. Under hard braking the standard system should be more than...
