    Freelander - front brakes binding

    I hate bringing up old thread's but you guys will know better than me about Freelanders. The soon to wife's aunt's 1.8 51 plate is heating the nearside front caliper to the point that it's smoking. I took to work on Tues, got home (30 miles) and noticed the smoke. She took to work yesterday...

    Watts linkage

    Thank you Martin. You would only get 4 bushes as the centre one that goes on the the axle is actualy a bearing. Like I said above I've already changed one and will no doubt need to change the rest in the near future so if I can get enough interest I can hopefully push Polybush into making...

    Watts linkage

    Spoke to Polybush on Saturday at Billing and asked about the centre bushes on the Watts linkage (the one's peep's have been looking for lately). As we all know they don't make one at present but if they got enough interest they would start to produce the bushes. They said 100 would be the...

    diesel leak

    What side of the engine is the leak coming from? If it's coming from the driver's side look at the back of the cylinder head above the starter motor, there's a fuel connector there it is prone to leaking and if it's not fixed it can kill your starter motor. Also what kind of garage are you...

    Watts Linkage bushes RGX100960...

    What piece of wire??:confused: never seen it on mine. I didn't torque the bolts either but then again I didn't read an manuals before I started just jacked up the car and unbolted everything. Agreed it does take a lot of pressure to get them out, I did think at one point it was never coming...

    Son Of A Bitch!

    What engine do you have? Sounds like it coule be the fuel connector but only if it's a TD5 and they cost about £90-£100.

    The Big Debate - Britpart or S**tpart?

    This is great, makes me feel all warm inside as there's nothing on the Disco that has ever been in a ****part box. But then I lucky the father-in-law has an account with allmakes or gets stuff trade from the local Landrover dealer so everything I get is either genuine or from Allmakes...

    pics of disco 2s with off road tyres fitted please.

    I have Grabber AT2's on my 04 D2 but on 16" rims and never had any trouble on roads, gravel, mud or snow (except when the snow was level with the bonnet) and it's towed 2 1/2 ton across a wet muddy field and never spun a wheel. Unfortunately I don't have any photos but it looks good and I...

    Billing landyshow 2010

    I'm traveling down and I'm only about 20 miles South of Edinburgh so it better be good. Went 3 years ago and it was a bit boggie with the amount of rain we'd had but if it keeps up this weather it'll be a scorcher. I think Landrover Max has moved to a different weekend so there should be no...

    Hello!

    HI there What type of gaylander sorry freelander are you looking at don't go anywhere close to an old petrol 1.8 it'll just needs a head gasket before you get 2 miles down the road. From what I know of the TD4's are ok but it's still a freelander, but each to there own.

    TD5 Engine Flat Spot

    :5biagree: What he say's done my EGR and down pipe both from Gary @ TD5 Alive and got him to remap it as well if there's any fault on the system he'll find them first and clear them before he does the remap. A remap will make a world of difference but it really needs to have the EGR blanked first.
