New fuel tank cradle fitted in January, the old one was almost non-existant. :eek:

You should be able to see a screw head between the fuel pump and the fuel filter, this holds the unit on to the side of the engine bay, slacken this screw, and tilt the assembly towards you and out, disconnect the power plug and the fuel inlet and outlet pipes from the filter head, and you can...

Hi Ali, I'm going to see if my local auto repair guy can weld it, as it's the box section just beside the rear subframe bolt on the n/s

Topping up the rear diff, as the n/s oil seal seems to be leaking, and came upon this...hmmm

teddywood1, no, the engine was cold, and I noticed the level was a bit high, and did wonder if anyone would comment on it, LOL. it's on the to-do list, along with the rust :D

No problem :)

Here's mine..

Hmmm, my new lhs brake caliper carrier arrived today, but on first sight I thought, this is the rhs carrier, going on the fact that the guide pins had been inserted with the longer one in the bottom hole, not the top one. However, looking at the carrier, it seems to be symmetrical, so would fit...

Ach, they are on their way now, so I won't bother

I wish I had known about these yesterday, before I ordered 4 of the £13 ones online lol !!

That looks like the right bolt, but that page is different from the actual set-up on my van, lol ! I don't have the shield on mine. I was going to change all 4 bolts, which will be expensive !! :eek:

Replacing both front discs and pads, both caliper guide pins on the drivers side were seized, and the inside brake pad was almost down to the metal. The disc was a pig to get off, but I got there in the end using the bolts through the caliper carrier holes trick. The near side disc didn't need...

Hi all, I've been fitting new front discs to my 2002 TD4, and found that a couple of the carrier bolts were rounded off a bit due to someone having a go at them in the past. The existing bolts are M12 with a flanged head, but I can't find a part number for them, and the ones in the microcat seem...

And that was without drink, lol ;)

Replaced both the serpentine belt, which had snapped on my way home on Sunday, just about 10 yards from the house, and the air-con belt, which was showing signs of cracking on the vees. Quite pleased that I managed it without removing the front wheel, or even jacking it up. I just removed the...

And one of these near the bonnet catch ;)

I bought the 200pc set on Thursday evening, might go and buy a set of the ratchet stands this morning :)

2002 TD4 commercial (auto box)

Hi to all, I'm Scott, 55, a gas and heating engineer based in the Scottish Borders. I've had 2 series 3 landy's, and a defender 90, back in the 90's. I bought myself a 2002 Freelander 1 TD4 commercial about 10 months ago, as a work van, and am just getting the chance now to have a good look...

Hi there, could you change my date of birth, i've put Feb instead of January, thanks
