Hi I've been looking into replacement headlamps types for the 88/109 and I'm wondering if Valeo globe Cibie 082369 are ok as direct replacements! I believe these are also replacements for old 1970s BL cars such as Allegro, Princess etc. Thanks

In your original post, you've replaced the battery! Was there a reason for replacing the battery? Do you still have the old battery? If you do! I would refit it. Timing!! The engine timing being out, wont flatten the battery. If anything, it will take ages for the vehicle to start (or it wont...

Normally when you press the clutch Hmmm I'd hazard a guess ;) it's you fan belt. Life the bonnet, start the vehicle, pull the acl cable, see if you hear the noise. If that dosen't work? then I could suggest other things.

I've got a slow tyre!! wonder if someone could give me advice.

The above post is; 'spot on'

Just add to other posts! (1) Ball Joint (2) Bush Non bumpy roads? (3) Driveshaft

Dosen't matter if it's a Discovery or a Micra! If there's a working coolet system with no heat? it means; 'air lock' in system.

Its fecking **** when you get crappy problems. It's hard to help when someone else is doing the work. "Tested pressures" lol sorry is that wot he told you? wot that means; he pulled of the rubber fuel pipe 'and he seen fuel'. no need for tests! its either getting fuel OR it isn't. Can't really...

If I have read this thread correctly? you are saying; when you try to turn the engine over (third key turn), all the ignition light go out! is that correct? If you've replaced the ignition (tested the replacement part before fitting) and its still doing the same. Sounds like its 'shorting out'...

mines was the same as yours, no white smoke from either the exhaust/under the bonnet, no visual water leaks, oil is nice and black. I'd check the heater matrix and pipes too and from engine/radiator. When it starts to over-heat? put your heaters on full blast! that will bring the temp down...

I'll probably remove the hub (sounds the sensible option) as I've limited experiance with Freelanders. Thank you for the 1st class advice lads. :tea:

I have the same problem with my 99 FL. I believe I have tracked the problem down to the rear-tail gate lock. Mines was making a double clicking noise and the rear window would come down a inch or so. I'm awaiting on the new lock coming from ebay. Land Rover Freelander rear door latch ALR7787 on...

Hi I'm looking for advice and 'experienced' opinions about a fault FL rear tail gate lock. The rear door won't open, I have however tested the power and there is power going to the lock (blue plastic connector). The rear door hand, when pressed, will make a double clicking noise. My question...

Hi I'm needing to replace the front driverside ABS sensor on my late 99 freelander (had FL on the machine at non-dealer Landrover garage) The guy at the garage quoted me £230+vat to replace the ABS sensor and told me the ABS system will no longer work properly (i agree with that) however the...

Brake selonoids? I'm guessing you mean the 4 ABS sensors? Are the ABS and TC amber lights on also? (dash lights). Disconnecting the battery will reset these! however I suspect its your VDU (think I've got that right). The link below is not related to your problem but the pictures will...
