    Freelander 1 fault code P0130.

    I think this may help: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/lambda-sensor-plug-location.281149/ sounds like you need to access it from the centre console.

    Ah there you are then :p I still think Rust is going to be your main gripe, if you have a blowtorch, minding the wires, put it to use, great for rusty bolts and nuts

    Freelander 1 fault code P0130.

    Looks like this is for the 2005 1.8, it should not be hugely hard I believe it is located on the exhaust manifold headers and the issue will be that it is rusted in. Good luck! I am sure someone will be able to provide more accurate details with pictures.

    Freelander 1 Converting from wasted spark to distributor (or Visa Versa)

    I am putting this here in the event that either anyone here needs this or I do in the future after my most recent engine replacement as most engines available now are the wasted spark model (Coil Packs) instead of the older distributor model some key differences and I could NOT find a guide on...

    Freelander 1 Clutch replacement

    That plate is the WORST! You're not doing anything wrong it caused me to have to take the gearbox out thrice before I finally got it, because otherwise you will either crack the bell housing when bolting it up or you won't have a clutch, I couldn't agree more the gearbox is a pain in the ass...

    Freelander 1 Driver Door does not unlock with Fob

    Freelander 1 Driver Door does not unlock with Fob

    Hey all! I have been reading across some forums where people are having issues with doors not unlocking / locking with the Fob. Since I got my 1.8 F1 the Driver door has never unlocked with the fob but it does lock, I always thought that this was just how it was and didn't give it a second...

    Freelander 1 Houston we have a problem!!!!

    Which tensioner? I have recently been doing my tensioners depending on what belt you mean and what model of Freelander you have it changes. There is the cambelt pulley tensioner of which the bolt is recommended to be replaced when undone anyway so may as well send it home if it is stuck 😂...

    L Series Injection Mods

    How are the gas bonnet struts? I have been looking at those for a long while now and really tempted to get them. Do they hold the bonnet nicely without drooping or bending? I got a cheap £35 pair for my Daily Nissan and they were completely Dog S***e

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    My thought was as i can't see the splines on the Gear box I'm thinking of getting an endoscope then looking through the starter hole to align it correctly. Thoughts?

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Used a clutch alignment tool to get the clutch plate aligned with the pressure plate and bought oem parts so they should fit? I guess more shoving is needed haha!

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    So we got this going, Engine was removed and we started the conversion on the replacement engine. For anyone wondering there are a few things for a wasted spark to distributor conversion and I'll probably make a separate thread with a lot more detail but the distributor valve cover MUST be...
