No Ali, you must have it wrong, they never fail. ;) They guy who did the warrant (MOT) on mine told me mine needed replacement for next one. He recons its why the motor clatters as it goes over bumps. He's got to be wrong too, I'm sure I must have just left a bunch of spanners somewhere under...

At least you know its a proper Land Rover, with, erm, character :rolleyes:

That doesn't sound like a fault. Sounds more like something that is configurable by the dealer.

I've still not forgiven myself for selling my Vitesse convertible for £50 because that's how much I owed the council for the garage I stored it in.

Oh dear, that's a lot of wires damaged. As for fixing it, first thing I'd do is get a cat.

I don't know how expensive they are or how complex it is to change, but might be worth swapping out the instrument cluster. Pretty sure you would need to be careful on what model year the car came from. I presume it could be no earlier than a MY01 when the TD4 was introduced and could not be...

On my early car, I'm pretty sure the Amigo lights are wired straight to the ABS ECU. So even if what ever controls the rest of the dials and lamps fail, if the ABS ECU is alive, those lights will work. I know the later dash displays are more network message related than individual wires. Not...

Hope it performs well for you after your investment.

Thought I'd have a look at the link. Great project for someone, as said, quite rare these days. But I don't go onto MarketPlace that often, and when I do, I always have a look at what Freelanders (if any) and Triumphs are for sale here. There was 1 F1 and a few Triumphs including this...

lol. Have to say, when I listed it, I wanted to say what years it would fit, but all the Google image searches seemed to show different setups. All I could determine was that it only fit the 2 bolt flange (so early K's definitely not) - but there might be different variants with the 2 bolt...

I haven't got a clue. Wouldn't know how to tell. If I lifted the bonnet is there anything I can check to see?

See this is why I recon the Introduce Yourself thing isn't worth doing. You've told us what motor you've got, but not given the information we need to know so that we can judge how to treat you appropriately. I mean, its easy. First rule is you have to say what bribes you will be giving @blue...

I've got this off a 2001 K Series that I've listed a couple of times of TradeMe for $50 and haven't been able to sell.

Ahh. Issues. Dave does engines. Bill does transmissions. Dorris does interiors. Burt does exteriors. You've met @GRATCH - he does tyres (he's the boring twit). However, we don't have anyone that does handbrakes. We've been looking for a while, but can't find anyone. If you fix yours, then...

You're supposed to say hello first in here... https://landyzone.co.uk/forum/introduce-yourself.20/ Can't see the point much myself, but some get arsey about it if you don't. Personally, I think its more important to just be polite and reply to answers and ultimately let people know if you...

Dunno tbh. I have considered swapping the bits over from my 2001 K Series parts car. Also considered swapping over its vented disks and calipers. But I haven't really felt the need and, although I've done a lot of maintenance on the brakes over the years, I'm quite reluctant to muck around...

Do a Google image search for the same model Freelander as yours, make sure its got British plates on it, and tap that number into the Halfords website ;)

The brakes thing is interesting. The brake system changed quite a bit in 2000, but before that the K shared the same brakes as the L series. @htr, with his early K, and me with my L got together here in Chch a while back and one of the topics that came up was brakes. He had always felt his...

That is rather abstract. Which is a posh word for a right dog's dinner.
