Tried the spare key?

From my experience; Rimmer Bros customer services like to play these games. They supplied me with reversing sensors that didn't work and then told me that because I had tried them that I would have to put in a warranty claim and wait for...

I appreciate the comments @pscan.eu and @Alibro I will be keeping this in mind for the future for sure, however, I was already planning to use custom brake lines for this vehicle (it is not a daily driver or even remotely close to such) so the...

Morning everyone. Another sunny day for ignoring today.

Google does… these ones? https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/freelander-2-front-brake-pads-mintex/

This one…?

No, far more old-skool NA 1275 Metro. :)

@DanClarke does yer mini engine look like this one…?

I just used 2 long socket extensions and a wobble drive at the filter to unscrew it, then lift it out from above. It's a daft place for the filter, but the engine wasn't designed for the Freelander. The filter is much more accessible in a Ford...

7 litres is too much. They take just under 6 when drained, IIRC. I think 6.8 for a dry fill. You’ll need to remove some. It’s about 1 litre between min and max on the dipstick.

I loosen from below with a flex spanner, then working from above - unscrew by hand and remove upwards. You can just get it through.

I take it out from above… loosen, let it drip, then lift out.

Thought I’d add to the ‘range’… 😉

Not very often, fortunately, I get "one of those jobs" ! Offered to replace a strut top mount for a mate. Both strut to hub bolts and nuts seized solid, like they had become one piece of metal. My 350 + ft lb impact driver wouldn't touch it. Nut...

Yes, the pump and the rest of the system is designed for CHF, not ATF. ATF could do permanent damage to the pump, and damage seals and hoses. Mannol 8990 is a good price, and is to the correct specification for the Freelander 2.

Looking at the pic the manufacturer hasn't put chf202 on the product where it lists the spec. Sellers of said product say it's for use where chf202 is required. They also use list many more spec's that the manufacturer doesn't. That always makes...

@landowner You ain't a filfy tratterer no more since yer sold yer heap and bought the worlds bestest 4x4. Gorra do fings properly now. No topping up yer engine oil wiv old creosote.
