    Freelander 1 Prop shaft balance

    Hello, a related question, I removed the vcu to change the bearings but forgot to mark it for realigning with the propshaft. Would it cause vibrations? Can it be rebalanced somehow? Thanks

    Freelander 1 Propshaft variants

    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.

    Freelander 1 freelander td4

    Can you lower them by the buttons near the handbrake? If yes, the mechanism works you might need to 'reset' by a long press. Otherwise the mechanism is damaged - a common fault to fl1 - repair kits are available.

    Glow plugs

    TD4 Crankcase breather filter missing.

    Hello, I just had the same surprise on TD4 - I removed the breather casing and it was empty - no filter inside. It was also relatively clean - just a little oily. I started the engine with the breather removed just to see if there is any spillage but there was none. Is it possible that the vents...
