When looking around, I noted that the shocks are in length between (on my model) between 401mm (Fully compressed) and 600mm (Fully unloaded) It would require some testing with spring rates to find something that would mimic a 20mm - 30 mm lift maybe even (kind of defeats the purpose) like limit...

Not sure if mine looked like that at the handbrake, maybe there is something else going on here, but from the sounds of it, I am 99% sure that issue lays with the adjuster, with a flashlight and flathead screwdriver you can slacken the tension yes through one of those grommets, but in my opinion...

I have found: https://www.mlperformance.co.uk/products/monroe-sp3276-coil-spring-for-land-rover-freelander-i-off-road-l314 Which seem to provide a 40mm lift to the springs 🤔 Never heard of Monroe though!

VCU is starting to get tight when reversing at full lock 😭 I keep almost stalling it reverse parking when suddenly I go full lock and it all of a sudden gets super tight 😂 Guess I know what that means is in store for me...

Ah yes! I saw these a while ago, but it looks like they stopped developing them and only have the fronts left in stock, I will shoot them an email to see if they are available upon request :)

Hey all! I've been looking ALOT for some better suspension upgrades for off-road for the my '00 Freelander 1 1.8 but honestly I can find NOTHING, other than MM Lift kit which I already have and the stock suspension. I realise for the MacPherson strut it can be quite hard to find, however I...

Mine only happened when I also removed it replacing the drum brakes, it was not obvious until after I test drove the car and the nearside rear was smoking and my brand new shiny drum was Yellow! When manually adjusted the wheel spin freely until driven and the brakes are actually used at which...

I am personally a pairs person, if one thing is broken and it has the same thing on the other side, just do both. Anything that comes in pairs or more, just do them all and if you can't do a pair, You'll find its easier to do the second one when the first one is fresh in your mind 😂

VCU is a good first check. Although a cheaper check though harder check, I would prefer to do is the auto-adjuster on the drums at the back. the spring that holds them in the right place and allows them to work without adjusting to the max each time stretches and causing the shoes to rub on the...

Thank you, I plan once the master is rebuilt to fully bleed them again with a pressure bleeder on the master instead of the 2 people method. With no ABS there really shouldn't be any issues! I should imagine it is advised/required I bench bleed the master once rebuilt? Thanks :D had it done...

Thank you. Have since removed the master from the car and "un-built" it 😅 Following removal it looks like the seal for the fill under the actual container was very cracked leaking and just falling to bits, some other seals were good and others were also cracking / cracked. Ordered a new...

I am in the UK, I popped the part number into google and a few pop up, I'd just recommend googling the part number and you'll find it

Well I for once have good news, means I'm a bit of a moron, but that isn't new information. I was removing the inlet manifold today when I noticed a stud was without a nut.... I asked if someone had taken it off to a resounding... no... That's right I have 6/7 nuts holding on the inlet...

Hey all! again! I know I have quite a few posts, I just want to keep all issues separate for tracking, I will be sure to update all posts when and if they are solved. I want to start with I know how to bleed brakes and I have done on this car multiple times (replacing brake lines) However I...

Thank you both, really helpful! that means I am to replace the gasket and O2 Sensor coming soon, I will be sure to update here on the news, I should imagine then to replace the gasket the coolant needs to come out?

You'll have to forgive my innocence and stupidity, how does the inlet let coolant in? Does a coolant jacket / coolant galley run past/ through the inlet manifold? But even then, in my brain it would enter the combustion chamber and steam clean the pistons? Maybe it's best i take the manifold off...

That's looking down at the piston through the spark plug hole, that is the piston itself. Inlet manifold can let water in? as in just water like rain and puddles or coolant? I replaced the gasket when replacing the engine so it should be okay but maybe it got caught somewhere?

Excuse my incompetence... Shiny Fire Ring? I didn't think any of the HG sat over the piston/cylinder I take it you mean the Ring that sits on the edge of the HG:

Hey! As per usual I am having issues, at this point I work on this car for mechanical experience and not for the economic value 😂 Though recently the engine has been drinking coolant so I think it's going to need a HG so I ran a compression test... 175psi on all cylinders, It could be that my...

With no MOT i can't bring it down unfortunately, though I appreciate the offer, tried to bleed the brakes today but they won't? No air is coming out but the pedal goes to the floor and there are no leaks so super confused on that point but that's another story haha! As for the emissions I'm...
