No deadline, day before will do. Our kind neighbours 1/2 mile away are very flexible !!

Also, As is probably known, I have a wide range of Freelander 1 spares and accessories. If you are coming and wish to purchase parts then please let me know oif there are specifics that you require and these can then be removed, tested etc. Thanks

The planning continues: The day will be 10am until 7pm obviously going on longer for anyone who wishes to camp overnight. Arrival anytime from 10am at the Farm. Precise location will be sent to those that PM me. There will be PScan...

Not if it works with the fobs !! It is usually fine and being low power UHF it is line of sight anyway.

Cylinder 1 is engine front (if mounted traditionally for a rear wheel drive!) so on a Freelander with a transverse engine cylinder 1 is the water pump and crank pulley end.

Looks like the aerial for the 430MHz receiver for the remote fobs. Photo not very clear though.

These fit the Freelander 1. Might they work here ?? https://ebay.us/m/Laltre

Looks clean. Much better name than the bent spoon or ****ed fork !! Glad it worked out ok. As you may have read, I have 6 or so FL1s

Sounds tight to me. Ideally you adjust shoes as you have done but with cable slackened right off at the handbrake to avoid upsetting the adjustment. Then set handbrake to 1 click and adjust the cable to make the drums just rub. Then release...

Yep - couldn't have said it better !! Do the above.

They look upside down to me.

Nice. Good price. Another V6 overheating 🫣 https://ebay.us/m/2lsKku

I had a delayed 4th gear and a bang when it did go into 4th. That was a sticking high clutch seal. Yours sounds more electrical. Pscan device aĺlows you to monitor the solenoids while driving and log the state so that you can see what is happening.

Pure magic 😀

Yes on hard braking but not noticeable with normal brake pedal pressure... Left one has started to squeal ! Argh...

While ignoring this most popular thread. Publicity opportunity for the many ignorers!! https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/andyfreelandys-get-together-north-devon-september-13th.398282/post-5873023

Wow it's at the top 😁 Many thanks.

@blue beasty Any chance of pinning this until 14th Sept please ??

If the ball joint is still good and no rot on arms then yes. New boots !!

Only 5 weeks away. Having a meeting this week to agree and order some FL goodies. More / different can be obtained after the event if they are a success ! This event is open to all Freelander owners (others might find it dull). I have a list...

Sold. Thanks.

Alternator is not difficult, but not a roadside job !! If you have aircon then the compressor needs to be removed and tied out of the way.

Here's your answer https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/belt-tensioner-urgent-help.392040/page-2 Looks like the 24mm bolt is a reverse thread so pulling it forward should only tighten it, however, remove small pulley underneath and fit...

Didnt need to check. Not never ever seen one in my life !! 😃

Sorry, never even seen one !! As you have no ABS they are a bit special. Unlikely to be faulty but why not crack the pipes and bleed at that point then reconnect and bleed. See if they have an air lock. This whole saga is a mystery.

And why you have 42 fuses ?!?!?

No. I have no idea what is wrong with me, if I'm honest. Anyway, I carried out the test as per instructions and all seems good. Thanks for taking the time and trouble, as always.

I haven't got 40 plus fuses in the fuse box anyway on mine !! 1. Plugging in a fuse when there isn't one is dodgy and could cause a fire. It may have been removed for a reason or is not fitted to your model. 2. Plugging another fuse in still...

As stated. Test it to see if working before changing anything. 30 second job.

Not quite ! Lower readings will show the alternator is not charging for some reason which will need to be traced through to find the reason.
