    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Don't tell everyone about that. I pay for my holidays by helpfully offering to "get rid of that car battery for you mate" You'd be amazed how many I get, especially in my line of work. Mike

    what G4 part is this?

    Wow, old thread revival. Unfortunately @ZDomZ and @SES88 both left in 2015. So doubtful. You'll find them drinking tequila on a beach in Portugal, they're very happy together;) Mike

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Nope, different calipers. One for vented, one for solid discs. Therefore different carrier's. So the question is, can the whole lot be swapped between pre and post 2000MY cars. Discs, carrier's, calipers shoes. And I believe the answer to that is yes. But don't quote me on that as I've never...

    Freelander 1 Automatic TD4 problems

    Well I'm hundreds of miles away, so that puts me out of action. 2 options Bite the bullet, find a transmission specialist and get it fixed. Hope to hell someone on here is close to you and will spend some time on it. For what it's worth, I'd replace the ATF fluid and put a bottle of stop slip in...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    After pulling someone else's timing belt out off my front brake, burnt fingers fun! My caliper has decided to seize up. Took it to bits, but after 16 years of abuse it needs replacing. So going to do both front pistons with a rebuild kit. Seen quite a few options ranging from £30-£60 for both...

    Freelander 1 Skinny Mike's TD4 ES Auto

    Heart stopping moment last night. Driving to my dad's and the car suddenly started vibrating really bad and making a loud humming noise:eek: I was on a dual carriageway so I couldn't pull over, but slowed down. Then a burning rubber smell. Oh no me thinks, belt snapped? Carrier bearings given...

    Central locking problem

    Usually the lock mechanism/solenoid has worn out. It will eventually do nothing. Stick an eBay special in to see if a replacement fixes it. Mike

    Horrid noise

    Wheel stud replacement

    Probably get shot for saying this, But if you cut 5mm off the new stud, you can wrangle it through without removing the hub. Mike

    Freelander 1 Freelanders are rubbish off roaders

    Who gives a fook, they're all hilarious to drive off road, the Freelander more so as you know it's doing it with one arm tied behind its back. Mike

    Freelander 1 Automatic TD4 problems

    It's very hard to say. This could be caused by numerous issues and you have to work through them one by one until you have the answer. So it could be, Barrel connectors Oil level (ATF fluid) Wrong ATF fluid Faulty TCM (autobox controller) Faulty display binnacle (dials and gauges bit) this is...
