Thinking 17" rims, AT for off road use. With or without a lift, not sure what the limitations are on the FL2 with tyres. Don't want rubbing, but want improve ground clearance. These on MuddyMods website are 245/70R17, although it is an image on their lift kit page. Not sure what is being...

Had a go in an FL2 today. Went better than I thought it would. Mostly the autobox isn't too annoying, but it has a terrible terrible trait (as so many autos do). When you move the stick to the left and activate the manual mode, it isn't manual..... is still f'ing kicks down. So so so so so so...

Bit of fun from an event last weekend :D

Any days to avoid for laning round Salisbury Plain? Was originally thinking of a Monday/Tuesday. But will there be lots of red flags flying and restricted access?

What sort of skid plates and the like do people run on their Freelander 1’s? I’ve found a sump skid plate. Although if I’m honest it is the nose of the Freelander that seems to take the stick. Are there any skid plates to protect the VCU? It seems quite vulnerable where it is.

Is there a guide to swapping out (removing/refitting) the valve block on a p38? As my 4.6 is on coils and the 4.0 I bought recently still has this front sinking issues on the EAS. I wanted to swap the valve block over from the 4.6 to see if it fixes the 4.0 Thanks.

Anyone fitted an aftermarket steering wheel to a Freelander 1? Do they have the same column/splines in all models/years? Anyone know where the airbag wires are to add a resister to stop the light coming on?

On the way home yesterday the power steering failed, leaving a nice puddle. Anyone want to guess what has happened?

Anyone have a guess at the cause of this? Bought another p38 recently (4.0 auto) with a known EAS fault. Basically it wasn't raising at the front. It was thought an air spring might be the culprit. There were a couple of faults on the Nanocom, but I think due to the compressor running a long...

For my sins I've bought another p38a. Its a 1998 GEMs 4.0 litre auto. It only has 1 key. The key fob worked and locked/unlocked the vehicle fine. But the main 12v battery was low. So I took the battery home to charge it (something I've done countless times on my 1999 4.6 p38). However, on...

In the next effort in trying to solve my ABS issue (no errors or warning lights, but pulsing pedal). I'm looking at changing the ABS reluctor rings, as potentially a crack in one of them could cause this problem. It seems the rings are available...

I know the Freelander can suffer from a floppy gearstick on the manuals. Anyone have a guide on what to do to fix it? I can see these items at Muddymods: https://www.muddymods.com/collections/freelander-1/products/bush-gear-linkage-rear And...

A question many may have asked and probably a lot have dismissed out of hand as it simply isn't a Defender.... In this video we take a closer look at the capabilities and limitations of the Freelander as an off road vehicle.

Just for fun..... :) There was a small test trench in the field, so thought, might as well drive through it. Nothing too extreme or serious, but a good demonstration of the vehicles suspension and traction. Range Rover p38a 4.6 on coils with 4"+ lift and +2" shocks and slightly larger...

Anyone know if you need extended brake lines for any of the lift kits? I have emailed Muddymods, but no reply as of yet. And sadly their website is rather devoid of information. I know they sell kits with or without brake lines. But I'm not seeing any info on if they are required at all...

I'm guessing I can't be the only one, but I find the Freelander 1 seats most uncomfortable. They just seem hard and unforgiving and certainly aren't to my liking. Has anyone swapped in any other front seats as an alternative to the factory items? The seats are completely manual with lumbar...

Anyone know what the thread size and pitch is on a manual pre facelift (2002) Td4 Freelander gear knob?

Can anyone tell me exactly where I can find these ECU's and any other bits of wiring/connectivity I should be checking? 1999 4.6 Thor Range Rover p38 -Wabco D ABS ECU (can't connect with Nanocom, although another diagnostic tool called Pscan does) -Hella CC (also never been able to get it to...

Vehicle is a 4.6 "Thor". I've never seen these fault codes when using my Nanocom (not saying they won't show, just never seen them). Used a different diagnostic tool recently and it is displaying these fault codes: Anyone know what they mean? The vehicle runs very well overall. A few years...
