Have looked at a number of Freelander 2's in the last few days (2013/2014 models) and nearly all have severe rust around where the aircon pipes pass through the bulkhead (by the steering column). Can't tell the extent of it as it is hidden by the felt soundproofing on the bulkhead. There appears...

Apologies to Nodge68 for not providing an update. Yes, the red/black cables with connector by the drivers side steering wheel was the correct connector and when all connected up, the light (looks like a factory chimney) on the dashboard lit up (on the right hand dial as you sit in the car, at...

Can't find anything about an EVAP in the manual for a 2005 1.8i petrol K series. Whereabouts on the inlet is the EVAP purge valve?

Hi all. A question please. Are the 2 breather hoses connected to the filler pipe neck the same hose(s) as the fuel tank breather hose? If not, where does the fuel tank breather hose go to (from the petrol tank)? I'm having fuel tank pressure issues which is causing fuel starvation / missing...

Firstly, no it is not a Troll post. Secondly, it might have been done to death, but there appears to be no definitive answer...... hence why it gets resurrected. Thirdly, thought this might be in the wrong forum, as it affects other models of LR........ Fourthly, same comment as in in second...

Admin: I obviously posted this in the wrong forum, as the VCU is not a Freelander only issue, but a general problem, so if it is at all possible, could this be moved to a more appropriate forum. my apologies for my initial error in creating it in here.....

OK, so going in reverse, in circles, what would one expect to see or feel? Will it be the same in circles in either direction?

How do you suggest turning the VCU, underneath the car and with 2 hands turning one of the props?

OK, an old subject but still haven't been able to ascertain what happens when the VCU decides it has had enough. I understand the VCU stiffens up, but what are the symptoms? I assume it gets hot when driving, but does it actually seize up, locking the rear wheels? if not, what are the signs...

Apreciate this is 3 years old now, but it is 'private' on utube. Any chance of making this available, myself and others will/do have this issue, so your video could be really helpful.

Glad changing the instrument panel appears to have fixed your problem. I had exactly the same symptoms and was recommended to change the instrument panel and was about to do so when my Hippo went in for diagnostic testing and mine turned out to be an intermittent fault on one of the rear wheel...

Hi, Any views about how to get off the original bonnet lettering badge emblems letters, so I can replace them with new ones that haven't discoloured, without damaging the bonnet or the paintwork?

As no one appears to have a view: - Have talked to the Land Rover specialist at the LR garage this morning and they say the proper way for the C-clip to fit is to put it on and not to turn it, so the open side of the C-clip is facing the rear of the car....

OK, let's start (probably again) as to how the C-clip should actually be fitted to the 1.8 K series. I've always believed that you instal the slave cylinder and then clip the C-clip on with the open side of the C facing the back of the car. However differing views are emerging that suggest the...

FORGET TIMPSONS.......whilst they have the transponder (they won't provide it without selling a key), but they can't get they key......they'll order it from JLR as it is now a combined key/transponder and door fob all in one) so want £275..... What a bunch of To$$er$

As previously suggested, I phoned Timpsons and they quoted between £45 & £55 for the key and key transponder and programming this to the car. I didn't bother with the door remote fob as the car can be opened with the key and will start with the key/transponder...... My local Timpsons is in...

Hi all, Freelander 1, 1.8 K series (2005) Facelift model. OK I have one key (with a transponder - a small black, graphite / magnet looking thing within the key itself) and I have one Alarm Key Fob (2 button Lucas model). Everything is fine and dandy, but won't be if I every lose the key/key...

There appears to be differing views on whether an MLS HG should be fitted when the liners are less than 3 thou above the block surface and that an Elastomer (e.g. Payen BW750) should be fitted instead. However, according to a recent exchange of e-mails with JLR the following was provided: - On...

Sorry its late but herewith a pic from a 2005 1.8i. Hope it help. If you need more pics, just let me know.

Hasn't anyone got a Freelander 1 facelift model (2005) that could lift the bonnet and see where & the colour of the wires for the Coolant Sensor??
