    Freelander 1 Propshaft variants

    V6 has a different VCU to TD4 and 1.8 petrol. No damper fitted. 3 door and 5 door are same length wheelbase. If yours is missing do a search and check IRD and diff are not damaged before fitting then do the one wheel Up test afterwards to check the new VCU is not too tight which will destroy...

    Unable to bleed brakes

    Is that a filter in the brake reservoir or has it been filled with tomato soup? 😃

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Not very often, fortunately, I get "one of those jobs" ! Offered to replace a strut top mount for a mate. Both strut to hub bolts and nuts seized solid, like they had become one piece of metal. My 350 + ft lb impact driver wouldn't touch it. Nut ended up smoking!! Eventually got one to move with...

    FL1 is auto trans fluid which is red / brown. Think OP has FL2.

    Freelander 1 Need radio code - Solved

    Hi, Thanks. I only had one and got that solved thanks. If we could work out the pattern it would help others. Assume you'd need a list of serial numbers and lock codes that match ?? I'm sure the forum could provide.

    Before you condemn the top mount or bearing, whip the coolant bottle off and check the top nut is tight. Allen key in centre to hold. I had one that needed a new lock nut and unscrewed on its own !!

    Freelander 1 Brake Line Sizes (Fixings Thread Size) SOLVED

    No idea ! Depends who makes them and what you ask for I guess. Safest is to contact a supplier and either buy some or ask them for the threads. Maybe you can specify threads and keep them the same as the rest ofnthe vehicle ??

    Freelander 1 Brake Line Sizes (Fixings Thread Size) SOLVED

    On my 2002 onwards they are M10 x 1.0 except 2 larger ones on the ABS which are M12. Search my thread as there are double and single flares which require SAE and DIN flare tools and you MUST use the correct nut. A double flare requires a countersunk nut or it will leak or break. I'll look for...

    Freelander 1 Rear Nearside Brake Pipe Freelander 1 2006

    You can usually add a joiner just under the chassis rail. It is the bit in the wheel arch that rots. Make sure you get conifer pipes, copper is too soft and breaks when unscrewed at a later date. Make sure all flares on pipe ends are correct for the Freelander. A mix of DIN and SAE double...

    Anyone tried spraying Vienna Green code 751 ??? Now on second mix to match aerosol from a company I have used many times before and it is still too green. The original colour is a gold / green / grey. The last spray is the best, hoping with many coats it will blend in. Supplier has admitted an...

    As you have fitted they are not so far off vertical when the arm is down at an angle !! They are trailing arms after all. Of course, depends which way up you fitted them but as photo I wouldn't worry.
