Just make sure that it's rated for the size and fuel type of your engine. Bigger diesels and take a bit more oomph to start than say a 1.8 petrol.

Look for a window regulator repair video, it should show you how the door trim comes off.

Lol, it's just three inches too wide to get through the doors, even when I fold the mirrors in.

Mine is doing well on a 5W40 full synthetic. I got a Triple QX BMW spec from Eurocarparts.

Well, the guy does driveway clutch jobs for a living and I know he had at least a couple of Freelander videos up, so I thought he would have a few decent tips for the job. You can tell he's done more than a few, lol. I hope that yours goes smoothly. I have a stupid Nissan Pixo to do. Grrr.

It worth watching this guy, have a search for his Freelander clutch changes. https://m.youtube.com/user/kanmarad

Someone's already replaced the often bad hose, and hasn't put the air temperature sensor back on, by the looks of things. At least I think that was the temperature sensor, not a pressure/flow sensor? I'm old and forget things easily.

Split or holed pipes, or loose clips holding the pipes on, particularly suspect the ones feeding in and out of the intercooler?

Have a look through this and the other stickied threads in the Freelander section. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/tests-new-freelander-1-owners-should-do-on-their-car.312863/ And for the sake of your sanity, stay out of the Anything Goes section! Don't say you were never warned...

I was looking... Locally, not much available. A nice, but smokey, G class Merc got a quick test drive. It was a 2.7 litre diesel, so running costs would be high. Not a lot on the Freelander front that I was interested in, though. I keep wondering if Nodge still has his FL1 auto, but remember him...

I'm not saying you are stupid, like me, but one time I changed the bulb on the Toyota about 4 times before I realised I was changing the wrong bulb in the headlamp fixture. Make sure you have the right bulb in your sights, lol. That day cut my knuckles up like a cheese grater on the...

It stops the missus from sitting there and nagging.:p

I know it's cheating, as it wasn't actually today, but over the last couple of days. Finally got my fuel tank straps changed and the CV boot clamp changed. Although it was changed for a plastic zip tie, which some MOT testers might fail... Then, in a fit of unbridled enthusiasm, I changed the...

I got my last trolley jack from Machine Mart. It's a bit big to carry around though, more for repairs at home.

I drove my old Avensis the other week which I had sold to my sis-in-law and she must have been yarking on the handbrake like She-Hulk in a strop. That reminds me I need to adjust the thing, but she'll probably just do it again!

Don't you mean "Put it in neutral and put yer back OUT?"

You can get test kits to see if exhaust gases are present in the coolant. Amazon and Ebay should have them available.

That sounds like a possible oil blockage, and would not be a good thing.

Pretty much, yes. Although fuel tank capacity given by manufacturers is usually only a close estimate, in my experience.

New does not necessarily mean working. I've seen a few bad parts from new in various categories.
