    Unable to bleed brakes

    I appreciate the comments @pscan.eu and @Alibro I will be keeping this in mind for the future for sure, however, I was already planning to use custom brake lines for this vehicle (it is not a daily driver or even remotely close to such) so the difference wasn't the biggest deal and plenty...

    Freelander 1 Brake Line Sizes (Fixings Thread Size)

    Yeah, definitely my plan, it seems that the one I have found does 3 sets of flares, SAE, DIN and DUAL which is apparently a flare that can work with both almost "universally" I will be sure to ask them about it and report back. Will also update my other thread when the new lines come, just a...

    Freelander 1 Brake Line Sizes (Fixings Thread Size)

    That is exactly what I was looking for! Hiw couldn't I find this :rolleyes: None the less as mine is less ABS i should imagine they'll all be m10x1 they all seem to be the same size. Follow up though, I'm looking for custom SS braided lines, I assume they will still need the same flare ends or...

    Freelander 1 Brake Line Sizes (Fixings Thread Size)

    Hey all! This is a mini-post in relation to: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/unable-to-bleed-brakes.398398/ : But I believe it would serve better for future looking if this was on it's own. I am looking to get some custom Brake lines for the Freelander but I was wondering if anyone...

    You can count me and my half as coming! We'll try to get the Freelandy up and running in time, but we may need to tow it too!! Even popped it in the calendar so I don't forget!

    Unable to bleed brakes

    So... I ordered a new master cyclinder after trying to rebuild mine and finding that there was a a hole that had rusted through one of the master cylinder "Seats" into the chamber which will have 100% been causing my issues. However, upon receipt of my new Master Cylinder, the Brake line holes...

    Solid yes if mine works by then... considering most of it is / is going to be custom it would be nice to show off :p

    Freelander 1 petrol fuel pump

    Just a word of warning, please don't make more than 1 post on the same matter, if no-one has replied to your current post, wait, or reply to your current post but if no one replies, it is quite likely those that have seen it don't know

    Freelander 1 Starts then dies

    I do not, however, there is a good 'ol way to test a fuel pump (not a definitive test) but have someone start it and gently but firmly tap the top of it with a hammer, like a starter motor and see if it continues to idle, if it does, I would replace the pump

    Freelander 1 Starts then dies

    It may not prime every key turn unless it's not been primed for a while, it will also not prime constantly, It will only be for a short period. Try pressing the button in the top right of the engine bay, it sits at the top of the firewall, spent weeks trying to work out what my fuel issue was...

    MAKE MY MIND UP

    I don't have an F2, but I do have a Petrol Juke, Don't... They are not nearly as big as they seem! Tiny little things, I am simply keeping mine alive so I don't have to buy another car, Insurance at 21 is horrid, 3 cars is all I can do!

    Feels like handbrake is on! FL1 1998 1.8

    Ah! I see. Must've meant when I first tried the OWUT I must've had more than 1 wheel up 😂 , because it spun freely for me unless it was in gear at which point it would not spin freely because 5kg is not enough to spin 1st gear.

    Spring looks good, if it wasn't being stretched / if the spring had no gaps between coils it would be an issue. But compared to my one, that looks fine. Good Luck!

    All looks to be assembled correctly. As I've said I'd have concern for this spring: I can't tell if it's damaged from here, but if you were able to adjust the handbrake and pump the footbrake without causing issues then I should imagine maybe it had been adjusted incorrectly, just make sure the...

    Freelander 1 Starts then dies

    Sounds like a battery issue... Possibly a loose negative cable? check for loose ground cables and clean and reinstall the ones you can :) EDIT: Battery related issue, If the battery is not dying I doubt it is an issue directly with the battery.

    My place test it by putting the car on a slight incline and test how it rolls down the incline. Rather ancient method though!
