    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    That's typical! Make a small, inconsequential, change so that the LR part number can be sold for more $! Hope the fix works.

    Do you pay import taxes on stuff from AliExpress? We don't here.

    L Series Injection Mods

    Its not really Brexit. Maybe rules imposed by your or the European government. Here in NZ its obviously never been part of the EU and we don't have import taxes. We just pay normal GST/VAT like we do on all purchases. Mind you, I suppose the shipping fees are like import duties :D Even...

    L Series Injection Mods

    Great idea to work together to have options when maintaining the vehicles. There are niche companies in the UK that may be able to help with that, for example DMGRS are a great supplier of Rover related parts (eg engines) and the Freelander specific outfits may be able to adapt to ways that...

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    Not sure how the clutch hydraulics could leak in the box, it never goes inside the bell housing and I'd have thought it impossible to run down the release arm, let alone through into the bell housing. If the hydraulics are looking OK, I'd say there's no need to change. I would say though that...

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    Don't take it as gospel, but from what I've seen, the stuff on that IRD bolt looks fine.

    FREELANDER 2 , engine stalls

    Think the crank sensor that often fails on the diesels, dunno if it would throw a fault.

    Freelander 1 Sand Tyre Pressure, how low is low?

    I've seen things like this a few times... Might be a cheaper alternative or something that can be made up at home. Definitely take up less space in the car than boards! I haven't gone out to check on my F1 to see what sort of clearance there is around the wheel for the block not hitting...

    Noise gone but prop shaft queries abound

    I'm not familiar with the props on F2, but I think you can't buy just the bearings, you have to buy the whole prop. I hope I've made that up, cos it sounds stupid. I'm sure you'll get various messages on the dash about impending doom.

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    You have been busy!

    Noise gone but prop shaft queries abound

    If you replace the support bearings, don't go cheap or you'll be doing the job again, and quite likely within a couple of months. I think FAG ones are the ones to go for. You'll need to separate the props form the VCU to replace then, and this is the go to tutorial for doing that... You...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Baffling (to me!) front Half-shaft/Axle Length Mystery! Too short, twice???

    Another interesting tale of international espionage and subterfuge. Without knowing much about these drive shafts, I've simply been an avid watcher till we get towards the last episode and I can make my accusations. TBH I think someone in the technical documentation dept. at JLR has probably...

    Brakes air in the system

    Had this with my Wabco F1. I removed the pipes to the modulator 1 at a time and used a syringe to pump fluid into it. Worked well for me.

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. Shame it went pear shaped on you. Its definitely a 'project'. From a practical point of view, with that much wrong with it, it should probably be crushed and start again with 1 that has less wrong with it... but it depends on what sort of project you want :D

    You should say what car you have. Looks like a 2013 F2.

    FL2 starting problems

    Good to see you back, you've been missed.

    Help - 4WD issue !!

    I'm pretty sure the prop is geared to the front axle - but is only connected to the rear axle with any great force when the Haldex is engaged. With 4 wheels lifted, the prop may turn with the back axle, due to drag on the Haldex clutches. If it does turn and the front wheels don't, the the PTU...

    Help - 4WD issue !!

    It is more than likely that the prop is being turned by the back wheels. My guess is that the PTU that drives the prop has gone.

    FL2 - anyone have 4 wheel bolts spare?

    Breakers is your best bet.
