    Alarm going off

    Just lock it with the key, then it doesn't arm the motion sensor in the car.

    Slipping Clutch when Cold

    My black Freeby have a dodgy clutch when cold, quite a bit of judder and an element of slip, especially first thing in the morning. Before I drive off I've been pressing the clutch down several times and it helps a little, so I think it might be the clutch pivot seizing slightly in the gearbox...

    Correct wheels for 2005 TD4

    It's possible for early wheels to fit a later car when the brake pads are worn - mine was like this, only found out I had the wrong wheels fitted on the front when I changed the discs and pads.

    Clutch pedal

    Ok thanks I'll keep my fingers crossed for when I get it back together, I just thought there might be a stop for the pedal or something.

    Clutch pedal

    I've got a new slave/master cylinder to fit to my 2001 1.8 Freelander, but when I released the pedal from the master cyl, the pedal came up and extra 3/4 inches towards the dash. Is this right, or am I missing a 'stop' to prevent it coming up so far?

    Alarm problem

    Still never got this problem sorted, but thinking it's more than likely a faulty motion sensor in the car. The alarm doesn't go off when I lock the car with the key, but does when using the fob, unfortunately now my lock barrel is playing up too... Is it possible to disconnect the motion sensor...

    1.8 Throttle body

    Can anyone tell me which throttle body will be fitted to my 2001 1.8? I keep seeing write-ups on upgrading the TB to the alloy 52mm one, but also I've read that the 52mm one is standard on 1.8 Freebies. Can anyone clarify whether Freebies have 48, 52 or 56 mm TB's?

    Freelander 1.8 Serengeti 3dr 03-plate

    I've got a petrol 5dr Serengeti and love it. It does everything a family car should, it won't win any land speed records but mine gets at worst 26 mpg, and 29 at best. I think the price difference between diesel and petrol models makes a TD4 only viable if you're doing quite a few miles, or if...

    Water loss

    I've just bought a 2000 1.8 Freelander which was advertised as having HGF, but there are no signs of mayo on the cap or the dipstick. All I know is that it apparently chucked all it's water out and all I can find is a steady drip from the centre rear of the engine when you put water in, but...

    Clunk

    My 2002 Freelander seems to have a clunk when changing from reverse to 1st gear, and also 1st to 2nd - not noticed it in other gears. It mainly happens when the car is cold, i.e first thing in morning. I looked underneath but the only thing I was a bit concerned about was a bit of play in the...

    Alarm problem

    It locks fine with the fob, only the alarm goes off soon afterwards. Using the key works, but still flashes the indicators so was guessing it might still be 'superlocking' the car? I'm not getting any bleeps indicating a dead battery, so not sure whether it could be that?

    Alarm problem

    The alarm on my 2002 3dr has decided to start going off randomly. It can be 20/30 seconds after locking, or can be longer. I tried locking it normally via the key, but it still flashes the indicators 3 times as if it's 'superlocked'. Is it possible to disable the alarm until I can get it looked...

    Freelander wheels

    I'm looking for a spare set of Freelander wheels for my 2002 model. Would prefer the 5 spoke 16" ones, but will consider anything with or without tyres. I'm based in Northumberland.

    Wheel questions

    Thanks for the replies, the 4 wheels on the Freelander are this style - Freelander 1997-2006 Alloy Wheels at www.rimmerbros.co.uk Whereas the spare which doesn't fit, is this style - 2002 LANDROVER FREELANDER 16inch Alloy Wheel | eBay

    Wheel questions

    I've just bought a 2002 Freelander 1.8S 3dr but need a little advice on it's wheels. It's fitted with 4 standard 16 inch 5 spoke alloys, but the spare is slightly different. They all look pretty much the same, although the spare has no holes between the stud holes, is made by Speedline, and does...

    Non-starting 300TDi

    Just checked a few posts on here, and the 'spider' seems to relate to 1996-8 vehicles with 2 button fobs. This car is a 1995 model and has the single button fob with LED. Does the 'spider' fault still happen with the earlier model?

    Non-starting 300TDi

    Hence why I asked if it was repairable/replacable... :confused:

    Non-starting 300TDi

    How can I bypass the alarm/immobiliser? Or preferably repair it? Is it easily replaceable?
