I don't know much about Autel, but there is a comparison of tools here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-diagnostics-what-actually-works.378679/ Have you tested continuity from pin 7 of the diagnostic socket to the correct pin...

My experience of that vibration last year was a combination of propshaft AND VCU mount bearings. You may be able to detect which end of the propshafts, i.e. is it the VCU bearing(s) through the gear lever as you enter and pass through the rough...

UPDATE! Ok lads, great news! I managed to get the tachometer working as well as the temp gauge! This is how: After looking at C0932 (gearbox computer connector) I noticed two canbus lines (canbus low and canbus high) going into it. That got me...

Had to remove 4 x glowplugs from my TD4 2005 recently. None moved and I know, from a bench test of a broken one, that they snap at 30 ftlb. I didn't want to break them so trawled for techniques that might work. This one looked reasonable and it...

If its still got the original inlet manifold gasket, that can leak oil into water

That is how I rebuilt my IRD. I wasn't even keen to actually remove it, but I have an inspection pit in my garage which made the job so much easier. Having done it and put it back together again, I'm much more confident to take on other jobs...

I found nobody alas. I looked in France, Netherlands, Germany, Austria or Hungary last year. It seems that new is the only option. I can get GKN new and in some ways, this would be the only solution I would trust. Expensive, yes. Second hand...

Tested again today on a different make of charger. It took a bit of faffing about to get the app installed but eventually it worked. I plugged the car in, opened the app, told it to start, got in the car and pushed the button and a few seconds...

thank you, but I think I will be able to find one locally, so please don't worry.

I'll see if I can find something more out for you. I'll update here.

The disc you want is advertised for 50€ at this supplier site.

It's a few years since I put poly arb bushes on mine but I'm pretty sure I did it with the car on the gound, lying underneath without too much of a problem. I also fitted some split collars to the bar at the same time to stop it moving about.

The mobile tyre fitter said he thought the sidewalls were a bit softer than more offroad oriented makes. I don’t think he is a fibber, but he said balancing took him a bit more effort than usual because of the sidewall flexion, presumably the...

I had these exact tyres/size on my TD4 too. They lasted very well, not noisy and very economical. I used 2.1 bar on all tyres checking the pressure weekly.

The clip that hold the battery in the fob can break away from the PCB when you change the battery. Its happened to mine twice. Can result in a random connection of the battery, so sometimes will work, others not. Need to get the clip soldered...

Well done for getting it sorted. As a matter of interest, can you buy the sockets those chargers plug in to? Might stick 1 on the side of my Freelanders so I can plug a charger in and make it look like its charging. Quite often the charging...

It works 😊 I called into a Tesco in Lisburn Co Antrim today, plugged it in, pressed the charge start button and it started charging straight away👏

Hey All.. IRD REBUILD SAGA Continues I’m still here but in a much reduced capacity… in welding wire and ability. Having spent some time trying to identify a bearing etc and finally Looking at some video footage I had made during the...

So after a couple of weeks procrastinating I finally made time to try and figure out how to make the charger work at a commercial EVSE which the setup above failed to achieve. It works great at home but commercial chargers require a low...

Do the ARB bushes while the drop links are off. Takes all load off then ! You'll need to slide under and a pair of ramps will help. 4 x 10mm bolt heads from memory threaded into front subframe.

Thanks! Very helpful @andyfreelandy that you confirm my thoughts. The ground here has enough undulations to position the hippo in a position that I can slide under (with wheel blocks to stop her rolling back or forwards).

I ordered Mapco reinforced ARB drop links and Moog bushes. The OEM ones are end of life, no doubt. My plan is to just go to full steering lock with the car on ground and change the ARB links since the fastenings aren't seized and have...

I'm pretty sure mine were marked 12.9, but it's very possible that 10.9 weren't available when the kit was assembled, so they added stronger bolts, rather than weaker bolts. As you say, in reality I expected the anchorage in the body would fail...

Hi everyone! While I was busy with locating the "fuse" problem, I happened to find another problem and was able to fix it! From the beginning, my Freelander with the L-Series diesel was not exactly a rocket. I had no comparison and took it as it...

Good question @Nodge68 , need to check 🤔 since they work mostly in shear for an engine mount. I'll update as soon as I find out! UPDATE: The supplied Fiat Ducati fasteners are 10.9 grade. I also looked at the fasteners from the OEM recovery...

When you upgrade the flasher it does one trailer flash when you indicate without the trailer. I guess this is the bulb test.

Photos: The top black trim piece has to be removed. First time around I took one side piece off and had to replace the clips as they broke. This time I did it without taking the side off, just lifted the side piece clear at the top to unhook...

that's the best way to test it but some times it can be the rubber around the tailgate window but 99% of the time it is what you found

That's cos it's not raining ! I notice, after heavy rain, when I open the door, water comes out of the small air holes in the rubber door seal along the bottom edge. It shouldn't be getting in there !

Mine is actually dryer now than it's been in years, and I've done nothing to fix it.:) Weird. :confused:
