    Freelander 1 android multimedia screen

    This one comes with Apple Carplay (or AndroidAuto for that matter). So it would use your phone's google maps. If that's inaccurate you need to calibrate the GPS on your phone, has nothing to do with the radio unit.

    Handbrake not holding on steep incline

    On the back of the brake drum, there is a little wheel that you can turn with a screwdriver. You might want to move that a little so that the brake shoes get closer to the inside of the drum. Did helped for me when I was changing my braking shoes on the back.

    Tail door window not working

    Hi, Used to search but can't fully figure out similar issue. Did some work on the back door before, and also had the battery disconnected during the winter to avoid draining. Never paid attention to it and the window always was working fine. But now suddenly the washer, the wiper and the...

    What alternator do I need? FL1 TD4 2005

    Went with the 150 amps indeed. See there isn't much differences, also when eventually using the VIN to search the right part.

    What alternator do I need? FL1 TD4 2005

    Frontscreen? Doesn't have. Perhaps a way I can look it up via the VIN? Want to avoid ending up dead on the road, because I brought the wrong alternator haha

    Freelander 1 Interior Trim Removal

    If I recall correctly, first remove the black piece around the clocks. Then eventually the gold plastic trims are clicked in.

    Coolant replacement

    hi there, One of the few things to do still is to replace the coolant. But tried to look in this forum, but can't really find the answers I am looking for. - Is a flush always required or only when you have issues? - When replacing I take the following steps: 0. Bring the car to temperature...

    Just some progress as we are wrapping up our preparations. Larry is almost good to go, a few little service things to do still (see my other topic.. ;-)) Left out the roof rack in the end due to the weight in combination with the rooftop tent. Did welt something for the towbar for extra diesel...

    No clue, but this was a land rover specialist, who seemed to know the Freelander inside and out. But can still do the water bottle test myself of course. Size in this case matters yeah.. Trying to be more creative but welding a better roof rack, so we can bring some more stuff on the roof too...

    So, this is still alive and kicking, good to share an update. Larry has been at the garage for a while now, with quite the list of things to fix and replace. Wheel bearings, springs, some fresh IRD oil, some general checks, and some smaller things here and there. But a lot of small things still...

    It’s a TD4 ‘05 with 210k km. VCU was checked when I bought it and confirmed in good condition, but we’re doing a test week this week to Slovenia and come up with a list of things to consider on top of what the experts here come up with ;) For now, this is what Larry looks like.
