    Yes Sat night camping is the plan. That's not to say Friday night is a no no if you have far to come.

    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 ??

    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...

    Put double layer of cling film over brake reservoir and screw cap on to reduce leakage by creating a partial vacuum. Don't drive it !!

    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.

    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...
