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
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...
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!
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...
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.
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...
