Wizard2003's latest activity

Fitted a new aftermarket MAF officially 100% sorting the Freelander in this particular moment in time. EVERYTHING WORKS! recon VCU, recon injectors, new heated screen, aircon, new brake lines, new tyres, new bushes, aftermarket parking sensors...

New boots. Dug out the 16" rims from the shed and now shod with some Toyo AT3's in 205R16. Stock suspension and they fitted straight on with no mods or spacers. They certainly give the Freelander a better stance, to the point that you have...

Yes that's correct, forgot to mention that. The 24mm turns anti clockwise to tighten.

I experianced the same: The big nut (24 mm) kept rotating, and I was not able to pull the spring back with the spanner. I will try a 15 mm spanner and tighten the bolt. I read somewhere that the threads on this are made the opposite way. That...

Hi Andy, thanks again for the offer, I've checked the connectors and they look exactly the same, I'll try and DM you in a mo and we can sort the postage if that's ok 👍 Many thanks for the advice, I'll give that a go for sure 😁

Thanks Artic

Hi Wizard. Sounds like you got a good result nice to hear.

Just regarding the heated seat button, my passenger side one wasn't working when I got my Freelander. I was in the same situation as you, none available anywhere so I tried just taking it apart and giving it a good clean (it was covered in...

When on a student budget, one can only dream of cheap, trouble free motoring. 🤣 Especially after the amount of work put in over the last few years 😂

Forgot to give an update on this. Got this set from ebay for £29 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404573936474?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ykjow_0yqvs&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=thg2a4xmrgy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Was really...

Looks very good with the top off!

Nearside window decided to go down only but not up while driving home yesterday... So pulled the door card out, motor was fine so before I checked the wiring I thought I'd check the switches - swapped them over and it started working again so...

What's this "problem free" you speak off? 😀

Following on from escapades with rear door not opening and window not going down when wanting to get to tools to put a nice new steering wheel on, did a few maintenance and needed jobs. Changed the diff oil which had some water in (assuming form...

It's alot easier when you remove the pulley underneath 👍

Ah no bother, I've just found your original post from before you changed the crank pulley and looked at the pics Arctic2 put up. Seems I was trying to do the bolt at the back of the spring loader tensioner part rather than the bolt that holds it...

Hi Swl, yeah I had to take off the pulley just under the tensioner (used an Alan key, can't remember the size) then was able to get a 15mm spanner in behind and tighten up the bolt (not sure why yours isn't moving if the front one is) but...

Spot the cause - the front bush bolt on the lower offside arm was about 3mm away from the arm face. Took some faffing to get it torqued to 190Nm with tyres on the ground.

Ok just so I'm reading this right, everything fits together ok but the pads won't fit back over the new discs. Do you mean the pads are too thick ie there isn't enough space?

Mine is beginning to collect an alarming number of clunks, rattles and bangs. They mainly come from the back.... no the front... no the back... well both I think. Just getting more and louder to a point where I'm going to have to stop ignoring...

Bought a Freelander luggage box Don’t need it didn’t know they made one don’t know were to put it 🤣 EBay and the boredom a bad mixture 😩

Thanks pwood I will. Think I might just get the new one on anyway as probably it's the original one on there and there's over 150,000 miles on the clock.

If he loosens the 8mm nut on the other end & squirts plenty of plus-gas in there, it might free up ? Show him the pictures in that other thread as well.

It's the pulley that's sized pwood, thanks I've had a look at that thread already 👍 Gonna get my mechanic to do it though, don't know if I've mentioned before but I'm a bit disabled 😁 and yesterday and this morning has taken it out of me and...

What is siezed ? Is it the pulley or the tensioner ? Have a look at this thread about removal. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/replacing-auxiliary-belt-tensioner-pulley.307687/

Well well well, it might come as a shock but it's seized! Why is it the "easy" jobs seem to be the worst? Was hoping to get the car fixed today but I'll have to wait now for a new tensioner.

Not got the correct version of RAVE here at moment, but check your other thread.

Don't forget the bolt is anticlockwise to tighten, 1 24mm on the front. 2 15mm on the back. 3 4 5 if the tensioner pulley will not move it's seized.

Thanks pwood, couldn't find that in rave, do you know what section it's under? Checked the engine section but couldn't see it.

There's a section in RAVE that shows how the tensioner comes out. I had the same problem on my wifes FL1 TD4. If I remember correctly you can remove the engine mount & jack the engine enough to remove it but cannot be sure. with the engine in...
