I L's latest activity

I ran 225.75/16 Kumho kl71 tyres, fitted brand new to standard alloys, without spacers.KL71's are insanely aggressive, starting life with like 22mm tread blocks, these were admittedly precariously clost to the spring seats, but they do fit.

Hello 3 years later, can you share your experience with the tyres? Thanks

Yep - couldn't have said it better !! Do the above.

First maybe clean the spade end on the starter, if that does not improve it which it may, but either way i would personally remove the starter and change the contacts and plunger. Its not an hard job maybe 45 minutes work cost of parts are low...

I have a Diesel Freelander 1 which I use on our smallholding. I had the injector tips cleaned and after refitting there was a loss of power and lots of white smoke on any strain on the engine accompanied by pinking. I think I sussed it insomuch...

V6 has a different VCU to TD4 and 1.8 petrol. No damper fitted. 3 door and 5 door are same length wheelbase. If yours is missing do a search and check IRD and diff are not damaged before fitting then do the one wheel Up test afterwards to...

On the hills with the Freelander

Hello, i'm considering fitting a new propshaft to my 2004 fl1 with 5doors. I found one (used) complete propshaft with vcu and bearings, but it is advertised as one coming from a soft-top fl1. In the pictures it looks similar to mine. Are there...
