That should seal up OK. Were those liners at different heights? - flush? Any below the lock face? Were you able to tell where the old gasket had failed?

Interesting - yes LR recommend 26PSI [ pressure depends on load ...] the tyre shop I frequent inflates to 32psi, [or more!] cold so they run at about 35psi 'hot'. I've noticed in the past that the centre of the tread wears more quickly at that pressure. So now I inflate to 28psi cold which is...

Welcome to the forum. You're right, Freelanders are fun to own, work on and drive. Most mechanical parts are readily available new of even from dismantlers. Front suspension: swapping out a complete strut is not to bad a job to do. Make sure the vehicle is supported... A 'goodish' socket set...

Hello, I've just been reading this. My O2 sensor is on the manifold. The 4 go into a '2' section, they become 1 just before the flexi bit which is in front of the CAT'. I thought the late ones had the CAT' on the manifold itself? The section in the upper part of that pic looks right.

Tyres: Like Nodge said, new ones go on the rear wheels, all must be the same brand, same size and inflation. Coolant: The climate of southern NZ is similar to southern Europe. I drive a 1998 K series 1.8. I use a red OAT coolant mixed with distilled water. I use a 50% mix as we can have quite...

It was North of Balclutha a few Kms before the Central Otago turn off. I initially thought it was a V6. I didn't see and signs of injury - airbags had deployed...

Went for a drive and saw this on the side of the road - Late model Diesel FL1. Driver prob' went to sleep as it was at the end of a long straight. Left the road, climbed / straddled an earth bank and took out a concrete power pole which then landed on top of it.

Finally got round to fitting replacement drop-links. Got rid of that annoying clonking from the front end. Now have to deal with a knocking CVJ on the back end!

Four years ago I replaced the FLH driveshaft with a Britpart one. The CVJ boot/gaiter split so I organised to either fit a replacement boot OR replace the entire CVJ. Last week I tried to remove the outer CVJ but was unsuccessful. I left it for my mechanics to do. They couldn't remove it either...

Todays mission was to swap out the left front outer CVJ - the rubber gator had torn around the drive shaft - I figured a straight swap with a new replacement was going to be less messy and easier in the long run - wrong. What a messy job! The CVJ is not that old so I was going to put aside and...

I have 2 buddlieias - a globes which I really like - it struggles a bit with its very dry corner of the garden, and a butterfly tree. Later in the summer it is 'alive' with monarchs and red/brown admirals ...

Finished cleaning and treating the leather - fitted the seats and wired up the heated seats [man that large back seat is a heavy job to lug around! ]- it was a good opportunity to give the inside a thorough clean! Also fitted a lit passenger sun visor. The cloth seats are still in very good...

Just asking and please excuse my ignorance, but how did that motor run prior to the head job? If it was a good runner then it's unlikely to be a incorrect cam issue but possibly a cam timing prob'. Wouldn't it be easier to go through the process of 'fitting a new cam belt'? ie: leave current...

Over the weekend I fitted me replacement leather seats. While they were out on my bench I gave them a clean and leather treatment. I used Chemical Guys cleaner and leather conditioner. I didn't rate the cleaner very highly rubbing it on via a micro fibre cloth and gently scrubbing some spots...

I'm in the process of swapping my st'd seats out from my '98 K series to leather - heated front seats!

Drove it - passed an auspicious 'milage' today.

Are those heated seat modules the relays you refer to?

OK - I arranged to buy the leather seats about £100 + some extra for the heated seat switches the luggage area lamp. My FL1 is a '98 model so heated seats weren't on offer for it. Now some questions: Do these seats have different levels of heating [eg: 1,2 or 3]]. Are the wiring schematics...

Ok. I’ll have a gander at the wiring schematic to see if my loom has connections behind the centre consol. I’ve already fitted the armrest box from a later model so I could fit those heated seat switches there - I already moved the window switches there and the upper two could be for the seats...
