I have a 53 plate pre-facelift FL1 Td4 and had a knocking noise when warmed up and idling. I was told it would be the crankshaft pulley so I bought a BritPart one and had it fitted. It eased the noise but very quickly returned. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? I have it booked in but...

Sorry I posted a reply to the wrong g thread and now do t know how to delete

Do you remember how thick the metal was? I know I can get a winch tray that I assume fits to that so it must be quite tough.

Yes. However I could use the subframe or use a winch tray couldn’t I???

I’m looking at the possibility of putting a tow ball on the front of my 53 plate Mk1 pre-facelift Freelander to help with manoeuvring of my caravan/ trailers. I cannot find a single example of this being done. Can anyone help me with any practical advice please. I’m including a picture that...

As I’m starting my journey down the road of back yard mechanics to keep my 53 Freelander going I was wondering if applying a very small amount of copper grease or any other type of grease to the threads of new parts (for example my next job which is drop links) will make it easier to remove the...

How do you get the RAVE manuals. They are proving a pain to get, I have looked at other threads on here but haven’t helped any. Do you have them?

That would surely make mine one of the last pre-facelift models as I’m a 53. I have just checked now and according to the v5 mine was first registered 02/09/2003.

Thank you. I think I’m just going to have to pick a psi and stick with it.

It’s the Td4

Don’t you need the new trim to be facelift model?
