It's finally time to move on my series - I'm hoping it's new owner will get many more years from it. If you're interested let me know.

Was the battery a brand new one ?

I have a 2011 Freelander 2 with over 260k miles. Inline-6. It has a new transmission from a wrecked model. I’ve recently replaced the battery as it was running on one two sizes too small. It began misfiring on me last week so I ordered plugs and...

Reading the above I thought it might be useful to share a few ideas, which might save time for someone going down this path. On my Defender 90 300Tdi to remove the nut from the A-Frame ball joint (which must have been torqued on by a grizzly...

Well, they do speak proper english ... No, not Welsh. Apart from theses ethnic considerations, any idea about my leaning problem ? :)

I've been using a Freelander for this job since the sand pit was dug. Initially it was diesel but doing it with electric is much nicer. :)

or so... :D

You're not wrong there.

Replaced the series 3 shocks. The bushes had lasted well but the shocks gave zero damping. I can't say the new kit transformed the ride, it still feels like a leaf sprung series, but it does feel a little more predictable. Replaced the wing...

That'll be the one with a square steering wheel. Not used again until the designer got hold of the drawing board for the Freelander :D

Popping up Yr Wyddfa whilst you're there? Them Welshies definitely need a few more vowels in their words.

Ha. Like it, although I'd just like to say, I think the double cup holders on the dash of the facelift FL1 are the best cup holders in any car I've ever had. Very secure and accept decent sized drinks recepticles, and they are not flimsy fiddly...

That's brilliant, especially knowing the vehicle build.

1974 apparently when peeps thought brown was a great colour.... yes sir we have one in the showroom....so you'd like a brown Allegro with rank interior to match 🤣 🤣

Just read literature produced by Rimmer Bros. who claim the last of the RR carb. variants was the end of 1986 :oops: Your engine # should reveal more info.

It has to be the French, nobody likes them.

Just fixed mine (temporarily) with some strategically placed blocks of timber & a 10 lb sledge hammer. Bit of an emergency repair as I needed to close the door. It worked, but still have a broken pin.

Tyically the LED bulbs will effect a resistive relay from working as the bulbs take very little current so the relay doesn't heat up enough to turn on and off in the ususal 'lazy fashion' If a bulb goes the relay will speed up the process and the...

Rear diff soldered ? If you have both wheels off the ground and in gear/hand brake on you should be able to turn both wheels. This is because the diff will be doing its job.[one on the other side goes in reverse] If out of gear hand brake off...

Just realised you posted "that recording" so we agree, it can't be the original!

I guessed that, still very impressive, if that is the word.

It does look kinda fuzzy so may be quite old but my memory is not of this one. Maybe I saw it on top of the pops!
