    Freelander 1 Exhaust Systems...?

    lol. Have to say, when I listed it, I wanted to say what years it would fit, but all the Google image searches seemed to show different setups. All I could determine was that it only fit the 2 bolt flange (so early K's definitely not) - but there might be different variants with the 2 bolt...

    Freelander 1 Exhaust Systems...?

    I haven't got a clue. Wouldn't know how to tell. If I lifted the bonnet is there anything I can check to see?

    Good morning from a Hippo mom 😊

    See this is why I recon the Introduce Yourself thing isn't worth doing. You've told us what motor you've got, but not given the information we need to know so that we can judge how to treat you appropriately. I mean, its easy. First rule is you have to say what bribes you will be giving @blue...

    Freelander 1 Exhaust Systems...?

    I've got this off a 2001 K Series that I've listed a couple of times of TradeMe for $50 and haven't been able to sell.

    Ahh. Issues. Dave does engines. Bill does transmissions. Dorris does interiors. Burt does exteriors. You've met @GRATCH - he does tyres (he's the boring twit). However, we don't have anyone that does handbrakes. We've been looking for a while, but can't find anyone. If you fix yours, then...

    You're supposed to say hello first in here... https://landyzone.co.uk/forum/introduce-yourself.20/ Can't see the point much myself, but some get arsey about it if you don't. Personally, I think its more important to just be polite and reply to answers and ultimately let people know if you...

    Was there ever a Freelander 1 Diesel built without a turbo?

    Dunno tbh. I have considered swapping the bits over from my 2001 K Series parts car. Also considered swapping over its vented disks and calipers. But I haven't really felt the need and, although I've done a lot of maintenance on the brakes over the years, I'm quite reluctant to muck around...

    Blue or Red Antifreeze??

    Do a Google image search for the same model Freelander as yours, make sure its got British plates on it, and tap that number into the Halfords website ;)

    Was there ever a Freelander 1 Diesel built without a turbo?

    The brakes thing is interesting. The brake system changed quite a bit in 2000, but before that the K shared the same brakes as the L series. @htr, with his early K, and me with my L got together here in Chch a while back and one of the topics that came up was brakes. He had always felt his...

    Freelander 1 Sump guard

    That is rather abstract. Which is a posh word for a right dog's dinner.

    Was there ever a Freelander 1 Diesel built without a turbo?

    The way I take it is that 'performance' mods give you a bit more power and a lot more smoke.

    Blue or Red Antifreeze??

    Why is it a problem using old threads? If the content is related, it makes sense to add to an existing one regardless of its age.

    Was there ever a Freelander 1 Diesel built without a turbo?

    Excuse me. I'll have you know my L Series is a street racer in disguise. Very very very heavily disguised as an old plodder.

    Hiya buddy. Hope the summer flood of tourists aren't impacting life to much for you in Central. I met up with a bloke a few weeks ago in Tekapo who does a lot of work for us down your way, lovely fella who's really good at his job with caravans and campers. He's got a workshop in Mount Pisa...

    Freelander 1 Engine removal

    Is it easier to remove the engine/box/IRD as one lump? Is there room? Either lifting or dropping.

    In the good old days when cars were cars, dashboards had volt meters and ammeters, Nice dials embedded on nice wooden panels to compliment the nice switchgear. These days you get a swathe of plastic and a 14" monitor that's primary purpose is so you can make a phone call.

    Lost key

    Sometimes they have trouble differentiating customers of near new £150k Range Rovers and 20 year old Freelanders!

    Yeh, the battery light does not mean the battery is low. It could have a 100% SOC and a healthy battery. It means it is not charging - the drain is greater than the charge. So yeh, the alternator is the first thing to check. However, for it to so suddenly have problems after the light came...
