This week end I attempted to replace my headlining. Got it out - no problem. Cleaned the saggy old fabric off. Def' recommend wearing GLOVES as the base material has glass fibres all through it - not nice on the hands/fingers! Gave it a second clean and then began to apply the new fabric. Bit of...

Fuel starvation? Have a look at the fuel filter - it's part of the fuel pump.

Petrol 1.8 motor cut out when hot? Mine did that a few years ago. I initially suspected an ignition problem so replaced the plug leads, distributor cap and rotor. Problem was still there. It turned out to be a fuelling problem - the filter on the fuel pump was clogged. I put a new fuel pump and...

Has anyone seen these? They are on the 'Modded Freelander Support' group FB.

It's a K series 1.8 right? Perhaps give the IVAC thingymajig a good squirt with carb'y cleaner? They can become dirty / clogged which upsets idle... Have a look at this thread here

That set up uses the MEMs 3.0 ECU. Earlier ones used the MEMs 1.9 ECU. The entire wiring loom would be different so not compatible .

G does that parts car have the later 1.8 - ie: wasted spark ignition?

Coolant leak you say? Okay, have a look at the coolant bottle itself. The craze & crack around the neck beneath the label. Use a small LED work light and possibly a hand mirror and look under the plastic inlet manifold. You're looking for a coolant stain - possibly green [if it has green...

You have posted on a 14 year old thread. It's a dead 'un.

WoF fail - hell I hope not. I have replaced those two switches. I had to put two washers under the rev' switch as without them the rev lights and rev camera were on all the time. Both seem to work fine now. Brake lights work fine so I don't suspect that switch - I got a replacement...

Hello G, So now I'm down to one warning lamp - the HDC. The other two were sorted by me gently twisting in the ABS sensor just a wee bit more. HDC had a broken wire under the g'lever's rubber boot. Fixed but that lamp is still lit. I'm not that confident about that small plug and socket which is...

What does RAVE or a Haynes manual say? I'd guess IRD off then motor and g'box out as a unit. But, prob' easier to remove IRD & G'box first - then motor. You can remove head before/instead of removing motor - valves can be checked / replaced as needed. Sump off too to see crank bolts - so you...

I have a rear window issue as well. However, I stumbled on this video on Youtube. It's from "comeinhandynow" - use this link. Watch the entire thing or Scroll to 14:20 and watch from there. The fellow notices a problem which matches my problem. It's to do with a small ratchet adjuster below the...

A new place has opened herevthis week - Perry European. Apparently the fellow is a LR 'Expert' I'll make contact tomorrow. It would be a hell of a coincidence if it was the ABS pump thingamajig. Oddly enough I was driving it this afternoon and noticed that the speedo wavers a bit. At about...

Hmm - interesting. I've just replaced my clutch on my 1998 K series 1.8 FL1. I've now got the ABS, TC & HDC warning lamps. Started off with just the ABS lamp - now it's all three. In the process I damaged the reverse switch wiring on the g'box. I replaced it as well as the 1st gear switch. But...

Yes. Disconnect the battery first. - have a supply of rags on hand and possibly a container to put the pump/filter assembly in. Access 'hatch' beneath the seat squab. Under the screw on plate cover, you'll need a large plate blade screw driver to turn that locking ring - tapping it with a...

I recently replaced my clutch - successfully. However, in the process I damaged the reverse light switch wiring. I have tested it with a test meter and it shows an open circuit when it's in gear or not. I've a replacement on the way. My question is: is it possible to replace either of the 2...

Opps you are correct ABS lamp not SRS. It could be that as I was working around those so I'll have a look. How do you know about that? I'd never have thought about that.

So after start up and a test drive I had the SRS lamp on. I thought I may have bumped the ABS sensor in my work getting the g'box / clutch work done. No problem, took the sensor our have it all a clean and refitted it. Now I have the 3 amigos :( Everything was tikity-boo prior to the clutch...

Well ... Finally back on the road. My first clutch replacement - done. Been on blocks since the end of August! What a phaff waiting for one part to come from old blighty! That O ring to connect the IRD to the G'box - ordered in early September and waited patiently.... then get an email on the...
