Might help. I did similar in a 1999 Freelander. Replaced all the sensors, pads etc. Eventually found that a shuttle valve in the ABS pump had stuck. Replaced the pump...

I hope this helps. Early Freelanders had an active ABS system. You'll know if you have this if your ABS light goes out a few moments after you start up. Later models From 2001ish hava a passive system. In this system the ABS light goes out after you drive forward a few meters. I had a 1999...

This sounds VERY familiar. All the same symptoms as my little motor. I had no creamy oil, no bubbles, just a little difficulty starting on occasions and then the steam etc from the exp tank. It only took enought water to fill the expansion tank so, i thought it a "silly leak". turned out to...

Dunno about you guys but I saw my heas gasket popping as an opportunity. New gasket and other nice shiny oily bits in the post... a day in the garage away from nagging wife and a good little car that will see another couple of years... BONUS.

Ok, so there I was driving home when the front of the little Freelander turned into a steam bath. Fortunatley I was about 50m from home. You may be suprised to find out that this was due to a failed head gasket... I know, its a shock... The upshot is that today a shiney new gasket set...

HELP After searching here re the 3 amigos I decided to tackle my little problem. In the post this morning 4, yes all 4 wheel speed sensors arrived. Armed with a drill and a hammer I duly replaced all of them as per instructions. I pushed them all the way in and cleaned the rings. Joy...

Hi I have the great "3 amigos" and am having some fun trying to trace the problem. I wonder if anyone knows how to test the passive ABS Sensors? I have put a voltmeter on each one and when the wheel is spun a reading is obtained. My problem is that 3 wheels are reading a lot lower than the...

I think you may need to do a search on here before you get shouted at! Try checking the following though: Replace the break light switch. Check the wiring under the gear stic. Clean all ABS sensors (sounds easy). I replaced my ABS modulator and all sensors for less than £200.00.

I had something like this. A small bang and lack of water. then niticed water on the floor under the car. It turned out to be the heater matrix.

Just to let you know. I took the ABS Modulator out. Stripped it down to componants and replaced. Didn't do any godd but had a great time in the garage away from the wife...

Err where will I find the first gear switch?

HELP. Ok. 3 amegos type problem... Turn on ignition and all 3 lights come on straight away. No grinding noise from the ABS pump. All wheel sensors giving a reading of about .95 ohms Brake light switch replaced. HDC switch working fine. Brake lights and reversing lights working fine...
