    How to drop rear glass

    £75 is cheapest I have found.. I will try and get the inner rubber out to see it I can get to the glass clamps that way.

    How to drop rear glass

    Tried doing the battery thing, no movement at all.. think the motor or something is goosed (hopefully this sensor)

    To buy or not to buy??

    Had the air filter box and stuff off today, no signs of any leaks, did get the off whiff though. I noticed the was a small pool of oil in the throttle body mouth..? And taking the oil cap of seems to allow a fair bit of air to blow out. Only thing that could pressurise oil with air would be...

    Yeah I will fire it up and see if I can see anything obvious. Hmmm, yeah I will have to try and find someone local with the landy computery stuff. Or will a generic code reader get them?

    Oil still seems spot on, chuffed with that fix! Now on the fuel consumption side, it's still pretty damn high. The idle issue has pretty much gone now, doesn't drop anywhere near as much as it used to. However I notice that when I come to a stop, there is a definite smell of petrol. Are there...

    How to drop rear glass

    Cheers for the replies guys. The door handle is actually not fitted currently as it is all snapped off, I'm just about to bond some new bolts into it. Pulling the handle, nothing happens at all. The microswitch clicks but nothing from the window/door. If I have ignition on and operate the...

    How to drop rear glass

    Hi all, Got a bit of an issue with my rear window. It worked fine when I test drove the car before I picked it up, a week later it doesn't work. This means I can't open the rear door. I got the door card off, all cables look good and I can't see anything a miss. @andyfreelandy posted a link...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Changed one window regulator, but the motor still won't drive.. best check fuses and that power is getting to the new motor.

    Well @Nodge68 I think you may be right about it learning it's new (correct) pipe situation, it is definitely idling better, still drops really low (500rpm) initially but picks back up quicker. I'm hoping this will get better as it learns more. Oil light also still looking good after the commute...

    So far, the nice new oil has fixed the flickering light! Good result, fingers crossed it stays that way!

    Is this the place that claims to recondition VCU's and IRD's? If so, check out one of the sticky posts at the top of the Freelander section.

    It was 10w40, can't remember the brand, was what ever stuff the local parts place dish out! Yeah the rears and fronts are different, they all look pretty new except the rears I'd say look slightly newer, need to measure tread depth.

    To buy or not to buy??

    Oil changed, still quite tappy but didn't get to drive it enough to warm the oil up post change to see if the light still flickered. Also did a crude OWUT, just put a bar on the nut and applied some pressure. It turned. Need to do a more scientific one to determine how stiff it is/isn't.

    To buy or not to buy??

    Think I have found the relief valve, on the pump body? Will have a look and see if I can get to it later when I do the oil.

    To buy or not to buy??

    Can't find much info on the relief valve? Does anybody have any links to a DIY thread or anything? I can't find anything, I have sprayed the lot with gt85 and I get no increase in rpm. I do occasionally get the odd wiff of fuel when I come to a stop, I was guessing that was related to the...

    To buy or not to buy??

    Ooooo now then, this sounds like it could be the solution! It is tappety, randomly too. I might start it when hot and it will be smooth and silent, as soon as I rev it and it drops back to idle, it's tapping again. Will have a Google and have a play. I notice it's doing shocking mpg... 17...

    Freelander 1 Front wing repair

    You could get enough money out of the haulage company to rebuild your IRD and a buy a wing. Top car for little money!

    Freelander 1 Front wing repair

    Stick a wing on and your laughing! These things can carry their battle scars well I think! The look good showing about of use and abuse.

    To buy or not to buy??

    I will change oil and see what happens, it seems to run nicely. The oil does look rather thin.. probably years old!

    Freelander 1 Any "how-tos" for changing gearbox / transfer box / diff oil?

    You'd probably get a wing and door in the right colour for less than £100!
