    Convert to LPG or not?

    Got a doozle FL and a K series Rover. :) Had the doozle FL just over two years and expectin' it to go another ten at least. ;) Had the Rover eight years now and had rough running problems when we got it. Dealer did a few 'fixes' but it was never right. After four years eventualy deteriorated...

    freelander 2 seat belt

    Must be a bit quiet - the X-spurts are probably still recovering from their excesses. Someone will be along soon.:pop2: There are a couple of threads on here re the FL1 recently where people had to remove the rear seat covering to access the belt mechanism inside the seat - would they help? :search:

    freelander 2

    :hijacked: You'll get a better response if you start your own thread. BUT you may be lucky or find what you want in the for sale section? Posting want's on here usually requires a thick skin and patience - so best of luck and duck !! :welcome2:

    Tail swinging from the back of a freelander.....

    It's supposed to be just like that. Don't connect it to any spare pipes nearby or strange things will happen to the running of the engine :) Merry Chistmas.

    New freelander owner

    Have a :search: there have been a few threads on heater problems. Some have found that the problem 'suddenly cleared' when they tried bleeding the system. Others not so lucky - possibly of circulatory problems or blocked heater cores - unlikely on the later models unless someone has put some...

    freelander 1 1.8 3 door problems

    Do a search for Darmain's threads re. door locking problems. Search for rear window, window mechanisms and rear door not unlocking. Results should answer most/all of your questions and give you a good starting point. Could be why it was cheap? All are fixable with just the parts if you are handy...

    Owners Manual

    The Rave's got it all. Worshop manual, drivers manual, explanations on how all the systems work, circuit diagrams and even how to fit and install LR's own accessories. Simples. (only goes up to 2003 models tho')

    Egr Blanking Mod

    EGR Bypass (any one but fit it right), Synergy2, BMW crankcase breather (at least the filter part), Willow's pipe mod to blank the EGR solenoid (no duck), dose of Millers or similar every fill up (insurance/cleaning for injectors), silicone turbo hoses (luxury but they don't split). Makes the...

    does a propshaft need balancing?

    Consensus seems to be that the individual items are balanced when manufactured and do not need balancing when assembling onto the vehicle. Just mix & match the best parts should be ok. Assumes that you are using matching bolts etc. Fitting a wheel nut to one of the four mounting bolts could have...

    Hard to push clutch pedal

    TD4 ain't got none of that slave bracket stuff. Slave cylinder is a doughnut (very expensive high liability component) inside the bell housing. Master bolted to bulkhead - slave inside bellhousing - all hydraulic - no levers etc. Not heard of a 'heavy' one only a busted one! Unless the clutch...

    1.8 XEI won't start!

    Have you got it turning over on the key yet? Post #19 - if R2 is operating the blue bit is ok. Only leaves the orange bit to get the starter turrning? :) You have already had the starter turning with a direct feed. When that is working then you have some confidence that the immobiliser and ECU...

    Freelander drains battery overnight

    If its lighting a 30W bulb via the leak current and nothing is looking like its burning :eek: I would start looking at the heavy current items - lights are not on, ceramic heater (don't think the 2002 had one?), heated mirrors or rear window (has it got a heated screen?) :scratching_chin...

    weird noise

    Re: Brake Pads If you have to push the pistons back to get the new pads in - open the bleed nipples to let the fluid out as you push them in. Means a quick bleed after changing the pads BUT some have pushed dirt back into the ABS valve and had an expensive repair to get it all fixed afterwards...
