Ok so Andy is correct , the key needs to be inside the coil or the engine won't start. We just took all apart for room to drill out but wasn't necessary in the end . Had no idea really what I was doing before I started , learned a lot about ignitions today I've been offered a replacement from...

Thanks for the replies guys, So we took off the ignition/steering lock and barrel was jammed , we managed to free it by putting on a flat surface and whacking it a few times with a hammer after dosing it with wd40 , however it is still intermittently sticking so in order not to get stranded...

Hi Folks, So , lately I have been having a wee bit of trouble turning the key in the ignition. I've dipped the key in oil and wiggled it around a bit and that has always fixed the problem till now . This fix would usually last a good few months before the issue returned . Today , myself and a...

So today I drove slowly to my mechanic friend as he was free for the day and cut a long story short a bearing in the gearbox end of the left front driveshaft had split and all the wee bits were out all over the place. I mentioned all your opinions on aftermarket parts so my mate decided to have...

Ok so on my model is the abs ring on the driveshaft or on the wheel hub ~? Answer: wheel hub as it is a later magnetic model sensor so won't work with a reluctance ring on the drive shaft.

I have to admit that I don't know what an abs ring is or a reluctance ing for that matter off to google to find out

Thanks for the info

fair play to ye . I might have to fit this one as i am a bit broke right now . would it last a year at least?

Ah right thanks for that . Are you always up this early?

Hi All, So having a problem with a vibration when accellerating my 2003 td4 m47 freelander 1 . recently 2 weeks ago changed the left front drive shaft gearbox oil seal and anti roll bar link ( not sure if related ) when i move off from standing still i sometimes get a weird kind of twang noise...

Well done. I found your post as I just replaced the bulb in the glovebox of my 03 FL and it's not working . all the fuses look ok . whereabouts exactly was that positive wire you mentioned?

It's quite confusing so i just went by the connector in the end , thanks for your input . much appreciated

This is mine , connector is same as the SSW000010 or maybe someone jerry-rigged this to fit . Or the website is wrong

i'll definitely check that bearing ,thanks. After a bit of a look round it seems that i might have the SSW000010 one because mine has a bright blue connector like on this page

Thanks for the speedy reply . Yes I'm still driving the same one, it's up to 134k miles now. I've got the three amigos and a rough noise pulling away in first after about 10 feet distance.

Hi my front right drivers side abs sensor is malfunctioning and flagging a fault code on my code reader so i want to replace it but when i go shopping for it there are multiple part numbers listed SSW100030G SSW100080 SSW100030A SSW100030 Which one do i need for the front right side ( drivers) ?

Hi lads, My friend Sid has a 1980 series 3 and an L series engine freelander has asked me to ask you guys if you think it would be possible to replace the series 3 engine with the L series engine out of his 2001 freelander ?

As per title , the window is now about 3 inches down and i don't want to make it go down any further because it won't go up. Also I dont hear a sound when i press the up button on the center console is it possible that the motor could go bad in one direction only? Cheers

I did have to remove the handle also to release the key slot . Some good tips in this video

It turned out to be not so fiddly as regards the actual electric motor repair but the dismantling and reassembling of the mechanism is what defeated me on the front door lock . I reassembled the lock and installed it twice and it did not work right so i salvaged the electric motors and shelved...
