    Freelander 1 Alloy sump guard/ undertray

    By the angle of the trailing arm that has been lifted beyond acceptable. Especially by the fact the tyre looks to be rubbing the sill as its been dragged forward so much by the arm.

    Freelander 1 What is in the box (brake shoes)

    There can't be to many brake shoe manufacturers in Spain.

    Electrical or computer starting problems

    Yeh, its quite funny. You'd think the headlights would do the job, but nah. Headlights and fan blower on highest, nah. The thing that I've found has the best chance of pumping some amps is to turn on the wipers, but not guaranteed. These are mainly VW Crafters.

    Electrical or computer starting problems

    That's assuming the car hasn't turned off the alternator. I have a dickens of a job trying to get vans to charge the battery (when its stationary) even when they are not 100% SOC.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    My L Series failed a WOF (MOT) on that part, probably about 6 years ago. I got a replacement (from Bearmach I believe). Fitted it and the vibration was horrendous. Put it through the recheck, then swapped back to the original. Its been fine and sailed through its 6 monthly WOF checks ever...

    Key programming

    OK, so I searched, some useful links... The fobs I used... www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/replacement-remote-fobs.391446/ General discussion and me getting the key working...

    Key programming

    There are lots of people selling new keys/fobs. Lots on AliExpress that are dirt cheap, and there were some local outfits but they were more $ (although still lots lots cheaper than the stealer). I concluded that the local ones would just be Ali ones that people are making margins on, so would...

    Key programming

    I also worried about that. I'd have had to wait 6 weeks for the stealer to ship keys over from the UK (if it knackered the only working key) and if you think their prices in the UK are fairy tail numbers, you should see what they end up like over here. Its what god gave you balls for... to...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I know you've oriented them in different directions, but there's no way I'd get under a car supported by lumps of wood like that!

    Good to see you back on LZ :D

    Key programming

    I have the Autel dongle - think its a Maxi AP200. I got it specifically to program some keys because the car only came with 1. Got the Autel and a couple of fobs from AliExpress and the Autel did program them and they can be used in the car. As stated, you need to have at least 1 working key...

    Need some knowledge about FL1

    You'll need to take the acoustic cover off the top of the engine (3 bolts) to see anything. The turbo is the turbo looking thing down the back of the engine - follow the exhaust ;) The EGR can be found by following the big induction hose from the intercooler to the top of the engine. It...

    Digital Clock Bulb Part Number

    Yeh, it rings bells as 1 of those things that's ridiculously cheaper when its for the Rovers rather than Land Rovers - although may be a different colour. The aftermarket ones are cheap enough though.

    Freelander 1 Skid Plate Bolt Sizes + Engine Compression

    Was getting the golf clubs out of the garage tonight, and noticed the undertray, and acoustic cover, looking all lonely. Its their own fault, they've fallen out with the other 1...

    Digital Clock Bulb Part Number

    Not very often a search gets absolutely no hits on a Google search, if fact, that may be the first.

    Silicon Hose Kit

    That sounds like good value for a full set of hoses.

    VCU Torque test results

    Wow - a 3rd member for the NZ national LZ meet up. We'll have to organise a bigger venue.

    Freelander 1 Auto 1.8

    Is the broken case IRD still in a condition that you can turn the input shaft by hand and it will turn the rear pinion? If so, make 10 turns on the input shaft and count how many times the rear pinion turns. Then do the same with the TD4 IRD. The difference between a 4.2:1 and a 3:1 ratio...

    Drive shaft gaiter

    Has it been broken for more than 5 miles? Probably. I'd be driving it, not very quickly, the 5 miles - but its you're call. Nice and clean under there. Looks in good nick other than the gaiter.

    Freelander 1 2003 TD4 wheel bearings - ABS pick up

    Well done for getting it sorted - well when the new new bearing arrives! Only thing I'd add is that a Google search is often better that a search within the forum. A few billion $ invested in the algorithms generally finds stuff better. Just add landyzone.co.uk and freelander in the search...
