Like you say, you can't really see it in the video, but if they are using a section of the prop, presumably they have dismantled the uj and fabricated some means of welding it at 90 degrees.
Took the F2 up the hardware store, then the F1 up the park to walk the dog.
Spotted this 2002 beauty, so had to park next to it...
and take a pic...
I can't say I've never seen an F1 up there before in the 20 years we've been going there...
Reviving an old thread here. I've just removed my prop as the vcu was tightening up somewhat and a bearing has gone. A good friend of mine scrapped his FL1 a year or so ago but kept a load of bits, which he is kindly either donating to me or...
Just about managed it okay with some extra axle stands borrowed from a neighbour. When I did it some years ago I managed to remove and refit on my own and recall that the removal was okay but refitting was a bit awkward on my lonesome.
*edit* I...
So the whine is still present from time to time after the car has stood over night. Today I've whipped off the prop so will see if that has changed things tomorrow morning. The more I think about it though I'm wondering about the auto box fluid...
Had the simultaneous delight of knocking another job off the list with a replacement front caliper fitted making the world of difference, only to discover another job to add to the list. LH driveshaft inside boot split. Most annoying given that...
Ladies and Gentlemen, drum roll please...
I think we have a winner! :vb-party:🎉:vb-party2::vb-partyguy::vb-party3:🎉🥳

I'm still holding my breath a little bit, just in case something goes horribly wrong...
And there will be a Next Time !
How long depends in what make bearings you have bought. £20 off ebay will be 3 to 6 months. FAG or SKN will be 5 years ish
.
Here she is. Brilliant condition. Will be fitting Freelander running gear and making it into a 3 wheel drive off roader.
100cm lift kit and 18 inch wheels.
Tricky bit is the uj at the front wheel for power will need some fabrication.
Any...
HI Andy,
I note you say the car is rotted, but is there any chance the rear subframe is any good? I'm not too woried about surface corrosion as I'll get it shot blasted and painted, but it would need to be solid.
My local garage here in the south of France is generally very good - but every time I take the car there, they always say it's so old that it's not worth spending money on repairs! I couldn't disagree more, I've owned my freelander for about...
I shall do the rear arms too, and probably with poly bushes too. My diff and hubs will stay as is though. I polyed the diff front mount a few years ago.
Rustoleum paint is pretty hard wearing, I've used this one a lot over the years.

It's available in lots of colours but from what I've seen the gloss is tougher than satin.
I think powder coating for the spare wheel carrier is a good option, but I wouldn't be overly keen for it on the subframe as its more likely to get scratched or damaged and then you can end up with unseen corrosion, and it's difficult to repair...
Some photo's of the cabin heater controller.
I don't think I've ever used the ash tray anyway. 😋
And yesterday I even managed to refuel my car using the sun.
