    FL1 Wheels? Leaking?

    Again, Thank you for the advice. I have ordered 4, 1-litre bottles of Goop. That should keep things running until I can get the tyres off and work with the Bead sealant. Thank you again, Regards Simes

    FL1 Wheels? Leaking?

    Good morning Nodge68, Thanks for the detailed reply. I will try to source some Hopson CT-301, it does sound as if it will do the job. Thank you very much for your advise. Best wishes, Simes

    FL1 Wheels? Leaking?

    Hello Nodge68 (great name) I did check that the tyre agency had thoroughly cleaned the rim and applied the correct sealing compound, the one for alloy rims rather than the one for steel rims when fitting the new tyres. I agree with you the rims are causing a problem and I had hoped that the rim...

    FL1 Wheels? Leaking?

    Hello Folks, Happy New Year, It would seem that the rims (Evolutions, I think) on the FL1 are becoming porous? The tires are all deflating on a constant basis, this is to the extent that I now carry a small compressor at all time so that the pressure can be maintained. I have replaced the...

    2020 from your freelanders point of view - what have you done to / with it this year?

    2020, was a funny old year. Freelander wise, things aren't too bad. If you ignore me putting a full tank of 4 star into the diesel tank! We carried out a FULL service, this revealed some chassis rust, a failed bush on the aft prop shaft, and a small oil leak from the engine sump bolt. the local...

    Freelander 1, 2006, TDi, Rear Door Handle?

    So, I followed the advice I found on Landyzone. Carefully prised off the Land Rover Badge from the Tailgate handle. Removed the four screws from the bottom of the Tailgate door card and then carefully removed the door card. Unbolted the door handle, disconnected the electrics, took it inside. I...

    Freelander 1, 2006, TDi, Rear Door Handle?

    Yes, that is exactly what happened here. the delay resulted in the Wife pulling the door open (or not as in this case!) and ripping the handle off. There appear to be two plastic mounts that are attached to a square nut through bolted from the inside of the door and one metal "push-fit"...

    Freelander 1, 2006, TDi, Rear Door Handle?

    Dear Sirs, Ours is a hard top three-door, got about 105k on the clock. So the Wife pulled the rear door handle off yesterday! I know, I had expected the door handle to be stronger than that, but all the same, it is now useless as anything other than a switch to operate the door locking and the...

    Freelander 1, Chassis Number?

    Hmm, Nice concise reply, The car is a 2006 Model, one of the last made I believe. Your reply has helped with my understanding of the VIN (chassis No). The last few of mine appear to be 6A808283. Many thanks for your help with this simple matter. Best wishes, Simes

    Freelander 1, Chassis Number?

    Good day, Folks, I am going to order some parts (front brake pads) from Paddocks, their web site gives me two options . . . Front brakes to YA999999 and Front Brakes from 1A000001. I am guessing that these are Chassis numbers? My Chassis number is nothing like either of these, Does anyone have...

    Freelander 1 Filled a diesel Freelander 1 TD4 with petrol - is it terminal?

    Just been through this, put nearly 60 litres of Petrol into an almost empty Fl1 TD4. Only drove a few feet (300) to get back home. Lifted the seats, removed the cover plate ( rigthand side behind drivers seat) be careful as the carpet is very easy to tear and rip, as me how I know!). The...

    Tyre Pressure Gauge.

    Hi V6, What a well thought through response. Everything you say there makes good sense to me and, I think, echos my own thoughts. I have just driven the new (to us) FL1 back from Roscoff to home. It does drive very nicely, there is a bit of drive train noise (no more than on my older Series 3 or...
