Having recently changed my clutch and flywheel I'm now struggling with a floppy gear lever. It has always been loose and I replaced the rear rubber block with a poly one for the PG1 gearbox. But the linkages at the front where it connects to the gearbox are different. I went to Land Rover in...

Hello I'm currently changing the clutch and having removed the drive shafts I notice one of the relict or rings had cracked. Bout a new set but have no idea how to fit them? Can anyone recommend a good method?

Thanks everyone. LUK flywheel arrived yesterday so will try to fit it this week and get the old girl back on the road

Thanks guys. Will have to replace it then. I've got a Borg & Beck clutch, do I have to go for the same brand flywheel or can I use the slightly cheaper Luk flywheel?

Hi all I've been away for a while having SORN the Freelander & been using the bike, but now I've had the Td4 MOT'd I've started changing the clutch. Eventually got everything off but noticed the pressure plate & flywheel had got a bit hot whilst using the car and trying not to make the clutch...

I have the same rattle. I thought it might have had something to do with the old plastic under tray but it's still there after making a new 3mm chequer plate tray.

Hope you stick around mate. Glad it got sorted.

My Astra was a manual fitted with cruise, never tried hitting resume when in a low gear though so not sure what it would have done!

Not from me you won't. Work isn't easy to come by these days. Respect to you for knuckling down & doing your best. We could all do with more honest people like you in services & sales.

I made use of that, grandparents car & uncles car both got gassed but compressors weren't working so no charge! My cousin is married to a former area manager for Kwik-Fit. He left because he got fed up with telling the "mechanics" off for poor quality work. The good mechanics are put under...

Does the cruise control only work on automatic gearboxes or can it work on manual gearboxes too?

I read somewhere that Land Rover changed the temperature sensor that sits behind the grill, to one with a green band around it which had a wider tolerance allowing the FBH to come on at a slightly higher temperature, allowing the cabin heater to give warm air sooner. My 2001 Td4 Freelander takes...

Glad you're ok. As above I'd be buying the same car again. I protected you once from what looks a nasty accident. Wouldn't wish it to happen to you a second time but if it did, you know you're safe in a Freelander.

Thanks I saw the chart before but couldn't find the code on my V5. Will have to scour the door pillars & engine bay for it.

£49 to re-gas. They don't charge if it doesn't work though. They spent 40min gassing my grandparents Toyota Picnic onto to find the compressor isn't working. According to their machine the re-gas process worked fine & it retained the gas. They didn't charge my grandparents though as there's no...

Mines grey, not sure what exact colour code though. Where can I find it?

New pollen filter arrived in the post yesterday. I fitted it this morning then took it to Kwik-Fit for an air-con re-gas. Now the air-con works like it was supposed to! Even with the windows down it was freezing cold! The guy at the garage told me the air-con pipes were empty so someone must...

I can't complain. When I'm on the motorbike on the A259 most of them wave me past!

The area you live may depend on what the police allow you to get away with too. I've seen loads of very dark tints on cars front side windows & the police have done nothing to them. In pensioner town where I live, nearly everyone drives a Hyundai except the young boy racers who's cars are pimped...

I read a post recently that said the early Td4 didn't have a second fuel pump in the rear wheel arch. Mine is a 2001, does that mean I don't have the pesky second fuel pump?
