    Freelander 1 Need radio code - Solved

    Hi, Can anyone assist please? Either a contact in LR dealer or some other method. Have a good CD Radio from a scrap car, have the registration number but need the radio code. Local dealer to me used to give them out but they want paperwork and, worse, payment now !! Thanks for any leads....

    The solid rubber section needs to be vertical ! I'm sure it isn't that critical. The 2 part Poly bushes make this a doddle.

    They are impressively tight. I bust my bushing tool and a 10 ton press finished the job !! I now use Poly as a fit and forget. If I recall, with the standard ones, Imput the arm on a block of wood. Centred the bush, put a large socket on the outer ring and gave it a good whack to seat it...

    So this is looking like a goer. I am happy to provide space for parking and marquee+ toilet etc. No charge for attendance. I have a mate who is looking to produce some LZ merchandise (with a Freelander photo, not a Defender !). Several great minds are working on the logo. Refreshments will be...

    Freelander 1 Houston we have a problem!!!!

    Good stuff ! It's key that it all sits in the pulleys otherwise it will never go on !! Must be at least 5mm bigger than the belt run !!

    Freelander 1 Houston we have a problem!!!!

    If the belt is correctly on all the pulleys and down properly, pushing the tensioner will just allow it to fit over the crank pulley. I usually get it half on and then relocate my tensioner spanner and bite a bit more turn.

    Obvs take wheel off and plastic splash guard. Get comfy by wheel as it needs lot of control and effort to turn it enough.

    Freelander 1 Houston we have a problem!!!!

    15/16 inch AF spanner and extension bar. Fit around all top pulleys and idlers and tensioner. Make sure belt is down in grooves fully or it won't go on... Slide over crank pulley last. Don't put fingers between belt and pulley else if it slips you loose a finger or two !!
