Hello - yes we are certainly interested! Please let us know how much you would be looking for. We have managed to get the right hand clamp brand new from John Craddocks, we might be able to 3d print the left hand one which would be fun to try. thanks

@KatieMakes Wifey you need to update your profile photo! Thats the wrong freelander!!!!

So you want to do some spannering do you!? Coming up on winter so I think when the fleet needs the next job you are up ;)

I'm looking for a low cost tow car, for small caravan max budget 5K No chance of a Freelander 2. My family have had most of the options over the years and the summary is the 1.8 wasn't great for towing but the Freelander 1 facelift TD4 that replaced it was fine. The Freelander 2 that replaced...

Thanks for the replies. Will order these http://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/shop-by-vehicle/freelander-1/land-rover-freelander-1-rear-diff-mount-differential-mounting-kit-khc500070.html and then have a crack at following this...

What are you cleaning the Maf with?

Creaking and groaning from the back end so I suspect the subframe needs some fixing. Does anyone know of a garage that has done the welding to repair it all around Wiltshire? Would rather take it somewhere that knows what they are doing already! Cheers Andy

Swapped part and doesn't cut out as before but can be a bit sluggish still when pushed. Straight forward to fit at least. Found a slight split in an intercooler hose so silicones ordered. The fuel economy issue from reading could be maf? Will give it a good clean and see what happens next.

we only bought ours on 140000! Just drove to the alps and back in her. Usually I get rid of cars when I am bored, they could almost always be kept on the road!

Hi all This became an issue on the run to the Alps last week - quite annoying on long hills!! I was able to mostly hold the speed a little higher before the hills though :) Anyway - this thread is excellent and am ordering the part. My question is did anyone else notice increased fuel...

Mine looked similar but with more oil dripping off!! Had to trim a slight bit of plastic from the housing to fit the BMW part but other wise its straight forward. Be ready for the little plastic T pieces for the fuel injector return lines to snap though. they really are in the way and are...

Freelander TD4: Upgrading the PCV valve | nikrivers.com Yep! I did ours this evening with the bmw part but one of the fuel return T peices broke. Collecting a new set in the morning!

Got a egr bypass off ebay and fitted at the weekend. This was the state of the egr. Car has 140k on the clock and seemed fine just a little sluggish. I also cleaned the inlet manifold, its not spotless but a lot better! Its not a rocket ship but the improvement in pick up is noticeable and...

Look around, i just had to get a new transfer box and gearbox for my 200tdi. looked at second hand but mostly looked like i would be in for problems again pretty soon. SO i opted for recon (actually ended up with a brandnew transfer box from landrover for recon prices thanks to some help from a...

Make sure that you dont put them to far back towards the side windows/panel as it makes the seat back to steep to particulary comfortable on a longer journies! Apart from that its pretty easy. Andy
