Hello Troops. Introduction first.
My name is Lukas and last week I have aquired a 2000 freelander 5 door 1.8 petrol. Swapped it for my 2005 megane CC. Never had a 4x4 before and I am quite chuffed with it. My first land rover as well( yes I know that it's not a " real " land rover) but I like it. Car is in fairly good condition with not much rust on bodywork. Dry inside. It came with freshly changed headgasket and with only 2 wheel drive(which I am not bother fixing). Nice 5 door for growing family, dog and few bikes. It have its problems. But with only 80k and 12 moths MOT it's quite smart and well looked after. Have been looking on forum for answers but sometimes there is no single answer. So be gentle for newbie.
Few questions as follow:
Front window drivers mech have been attempted fixing with new runners and motor. Unfortunately someone botched it and it does not work. How easy it to replace cables and motor?
It does not have a low fuel light. I have opened a wee flap under rear seats and there is four cables going out from fuel pump with square fitting plug. I know that early models did not have reserve light facility but with four wires Ithink there is possibility to fit one. Bulb is in the dash which is even weirder.
Lastly it have an oil leak from somewhere on a drivers side of engine bay. I could not get free ramp today at my mates garage so unable to identify exactly from where.
I love it so far. It does run a bit rough on idle but i think service and clean will cure it nicely.
Hope my tread is not to boring and to long. Good to be in here. Been browsing forum for some time now but nice to drop in and introduce myself. Will try to get some pics in intro section.
Happy offroading and greatings from Scotland.
