I have been looking at some threads in this forum. Saw some where, someone saying Freelander 1's have a tendency to develop a strut problem. Something about a bolt getting loose. I cannot seem to get to this thread again. Could this be the problem and is the strut problem a real thing with...

Yes. The wheel is intact on its own when the car is jacked

Yep, no noise when the wheel lifted. Nuts tight. What do you think it might be?

Hi guys I have a grinding noise generating from the L-F wheel. The noise almost sounds like metal bumping on metal. Strangely, the noise is only audible between 40km/h to 70km/h, heavily bumpy road, and also when I roll the car (pushing to neutral at speed). So much so that it causes the...

What had actually happened is a painful and overall funny story. Firstly, the hippo was overheating and had a blown turbo. Took it to this so called 'Diesel engine specialist' who quickly dived in to change the head gasket. Idiot did not mark or lock any timing (both sides). He quickly...

You are right @GrumpyGel . No marks. I have two options. Since the pump itself was not removed, I can do the tedious work of groove elimination. That is placing and marking the wheel, crank and eliminate until I find the the right spot. Not sure though how that will affect the injectors. Second...

Good day guys I have a massive one to ask. Can anybody help me with pump timing settings or a simple to follow procedure or a step-by-step video. So first question is, is disconnecting the pump pulley without locking (and without disconnecting )the pump timing wheel completely mess up the pump...

L Series 99 model 2.0 diesel

Hi Freelanders. I recently had an overheating incident. I'm on the highway, gauge shot up to red. I stopped the car and turned the key off, pop the bonnet and had the old girl cool off. Upon inspection, I found a radiator hose torn, a little sludge on the oil cap (When I say little, I mean you...

Will get to it ASAP. Found a thread that was discussing a similar issue but the owner did not feedback as to how the issue was sorted (last seen 2019) but he said the switch did not help him. I hope mine will yield a different outcome

How do we explain the brake lights not coming on?

Internet says its only some malfunction of the hand brake because the yellow ABS light does not illuminate. see pic below, looks like this when the car is in motion and the light turns off if the hand-brake is engaged. Any take? alfunctioning of a

Thanks @Nodge68 . Can you touch on the subject though before we attribute it to some kind of witchcraft? I recently towed a mobile freezer and that was the beginning of the problem. Do you think the tractor-trailer connector could f-up something?

Problem started after I hauled a mobile freezer. After I connected the tractor trailer connector, the system went hay-wire and the trailer started indicating with brake lights. Since then, the Landy's brake light were gone. Manual states that brake lights and rear indicator lights uses the same...

Guys, quick question. Dash brake system light. Comes on when the emergency brake is disengaged but does not illuminate when engaged. THREE AMIGOS all gone. Brake fluid full to the brim, brake pads relatively new and no noise. Car sometimes applies a lil bit of braking on its own when in motion...
