Before you think it's wrong pads, check the calipers are working properly and not seized

That's not a lot of play.

Rears; 302mm diameter Thickness new 12mm Thickness at service limit 10mm Max runout 0.08mm

Thought i would post an update as I've made progress. On another recent thread someone posted that the air intake temperature sensor works in tandem with the MAP sensor, and I can confirm that if you just replace the temperature sensor without...

Nah, I'll help a Cantabrian to pay for his kids school shoes rather than give money to a Chinese iron works. I should think the rears do a lot less work than the fronts and will last a long time anyway. Anyone know the original and minimum...

Thanks, that's what I was expecting to see! Think I'll have to get the disks skimmed and a new set of pads. Hope it hasn't knackered the calipers.

Excuse my ignorance, I've not delved into how the brakes work on the F2. But does the handbrake operate on the calipers/pads or are there not shoes inside the disc/drum/hub jobbie that it would apply?

So I've had my F2 over a year now. Its been running lovely, the only imperfection being squeaky brakes. When I got it, it had just had new brakes fitted, so thought it was probably just bedding in. Roll on a year and they are still 'bedding...

Are you on commission, cos its probably been listed for years that one...

Hi everyone! While I was busy with locating the "fuse" problem, I happened to find another problem and was able to fix it! From the beginning, my Freelander with the L-Series diesel was not exactly a rocket. I had no comparison and took it as it...

I have a Bambulabs X1c and it is excellent. The AMS allows it to print up to 4 colour models. Baby Groots anyone? The milwaukee box was printed too.

Interestingly, that car survives...

Almost right...

That's a gem of a Freelander you've bought there, looks great. The number plate is interesting. It's obviously a Swedish plate, but I'm sure the LR owned cars, eg promotion vehicles etc, are regos '?AC' and I'm sure the very first batch of...

Hello everyone! Finally I have good news: My Freelander is back on the road! The only problem was actually the large fuse 120A from the alternator. Nothing else broke. I had no chance to get the fuse here. That's why I had to order it. When you...

I couldn't entertain a German powered donor. I have to maintain some ethics. Maybe if I find a K, or more likely a KV6, being broken, I might consider it ;)

Swapping to a facelift scuttle solves the old broken rubber problem. The later ones have hard plastic right up to the ends.

I can't really tell from the pic where that it, I've never had to investigate the cable, but behind it looks to be the oil cooler pipes? These are prone to leaking and often replaced. I need to replace them on mine. If they are AC or something...

If its like my L series, everything is covered in oil. I sometimes think there's more oil on the outside of the engine than in it. But it never breaks... it just carries on.

If your diagnostics tool has the options, point it to Wabco ABS. It will then talk to the ABS ECU and will get the error codes. If it doesn't support Wabco, then you won't be able to get them. I have plugged a 'generic' type reader into mine...

You'll need a F1 specific code reader for it to connect to the ABS. You may find a generic tool that will talk tot he ABS - but that's hit or miss. If the reader is just talking to the main engine ECU it won't find the codes. In fact, it's...

Hello ...just joined this site ! I have owned a Bmw x5 e70 40d 2010 for 5 years now and just about to add a fl2 to the fleet. The x5 is really a big road suv. The suspension is too stiff for anything more than a gravel track especially with 20"...
