People often talk nonsense about freelanders! But mostly because they know jack! I have many a time rescued a stuck defender or RR! Of course every vehicle has strengths and weaknesses my RR is very good at deep mud and ruts but the freelander is very good at wet mud and loose surfaces and...

Did some of what it was made for :)

If it's got the right oil you will be as fine as you can be, you may need to check the oil pressure to be sure? Which oil did you use? The injectors can make a tick noise, try the 2 stroke in the fuel trick and see if it helps.

I would agree that there has been a repair there as they dont normally go at that spot. Not to worry, I would do as you say and rub down treat and paint. Make sure to look behind the liner and get some wax in there too

Used one about a year ago and it has been fine, not the best shape and fit but nothing to worry about and it's doing the job just fine. Pipes also fine. Would use again

They never get much better in my experience, I still have them but just got used to the harsh ride. I would be surprised if the fitted the bushes the wrong way round, I seem to recall they are different sizes? Anyway I have experienced what you describe and it was old tyres, balancing helped...

Down behind the turbo, best seen from underneath of through the drivers wheel arch. It's a little back plastic valve that's electric. It controls when the VNT on the turbo operates by allowing vacuum or not. You may also want to Mach sure that the VNT mech on the turbo is working fully, you...

Alignment and new tyres all round, wants larger tyres but ended up going for normal size as got a really good deal :)

Boost valve not working or vac pipes perished?

It was outwardly fine but the fluid within had gone off or become contaminated and was full of white 'stuff'. I had no pedal when it was all fitted back together and I had to bleed many times to get back to a good pedal. It's fully possible it was just the one I had but I wouldn't use one...

It is an AP in the Brit part box BUT don't use it! The one I had was contaminated and caused no end of problems. I wish I had just used a Brit part one as at least it would have been produced more recently. Both the slave and master should be pre filled.

It should be basically flush with the ird, you need to push harder to get past the circlip

Td4? Looks that way, stuck open

I have a 97 with double rear pipes, appt. this post should pop up as in prep for the MOT I noticed that the Middle box had broken off completely! Oddly the it makes no more noise that before so could have been like that for months. For a laugh u had a quote from kwick fit and the said the...

Guess that it depends on the TC system, but without lockable diffs i honestly don't think you can sniff at TC. I'm sure I read something that you can upgrade to 4 wheel TC if you have rear wheel? Well maybe or maybe not. Or get a freelander as a recovery vehicle ;)
