Hi guys, haven't been on forum for a few years as got shot of the freelander having given up trying to justify the constant repair bills. But must admit liked driving it when it was useable. Am now contemplating purchasing a 1996 P38 Range Rover Estate 2.5 TD Diesel Manual box with 120k on the...

Thanks guys for the comments and help, will remove the radio and check for code written on it somewhere. I'll look up the thread you suggested Ming - thanks for that. Still trying to find out how to disarm the alarm/immobiliser if the remote fob failed. I understand you can use the key in the...

Hi David, not at all difficult, I dropped the propshafts and VC in the street outside my house and I'm 67 years young. All I used was a bottle jack with a lump of wood to lower the VC which is quite heavy. From memory four bolts for the VC and 10 nuts and bolts for the shafts. Took about 20...

hi guys, have the chance on ebay for a set of 15 inch alloys from a freelander 2001 model. Does anyone know if these alloys would fit a 1998 model? I can't view them as too far away. Is a part number stamped on the rims?, if so does anyone know what it may be. I know I should go for larger rims...

hi eightinavee, had renewed viscous coupling so propshaft was off anyway. Can assure you on my '98 model there is no way that bush will come out of the "U" channel where the bush is located with everything in situ. There is not enough clearance for it to move up and out as floorpan prevents...

hi guys, first time on the forum and hello to all, Just a bit of info regarding renewing the front metalastic bush on the rear diff. I bought a 98 turbo diesel two years ago and since almost day one if i dropped the clutch too quick got a god awful clunk from the transmission, investigation...
