Hi, I don't know but will remove gear knob tonight or tomorrow and can check. My car is a 1.8 Freelander manual 2004 facelift so maybe not the same?

Hi, New drop links fitted, went smooth. The only hassle was not enough room on the right side to torque it properly. Next is new ARB bushings.

Hi To say I did it today would be to lie, but the last week or so I have replaced water pump allt belts including timing belt, new inlet gasket and rear drums and brakes. No big surprises more than some bolts that was very tight plus the previous owner stripped the thread in the head. After a...

Hi After changing inlet gasket, water pump and timing belt my radiator decided to give up and start leaking. Not much, mostly weeping but have to do something about it and K seal is not recommended. Have I understood it correct that I have to remove front bumper and then it's easy accessible...

Hello, I have replaced the Lokuts (DYH100980) with new ones. After torrential rain I noticed the inner roof was damp. I removed everything and will now use the five remaining lookouts... So before I continue, shall I use adhesive on the foamy sealant fitted on nr 3 here...

Hmm, sorry for stupid question. Isn’t this seal meant to slot in and then clamped by the bolt between lower and upper timing cover? Its a tad oversized.

Thank you Andy, Seems I didn't read it through properly... so 30 nm plus 120 deg it is I had to manufacture a plate to lock the flywheel and haven't had time until now to remove the bracket. Theres no room to use a torque wrench so I have to fine tune my wrist. Now I will assemble it all again...

Thank you very much, then I do as you advise. The torque values are they 85 nm for the M12 and 45 mm for the three in the block? Just like to verify I’m looking at the right values in rave. /Chris

Hello, I have started changing the timing belt on a FL1 1.8. After struggling with the flywheel cover I now have the inner bolt for the engine mounting left. (One of the two close to the engine block) The extension rod start to twist so I’m afraid I will break something. I’m away atm so...

Great, thank you!

Hello, I don't want to start a new thread so continue here, hope that's ok. I have previously followed the sequence stated in rave manual where you start with the front. If I follow your suggestions for a LHD car then I have to bleed in this order, RR,RL, FR, FL or?? Regards Chris

Hi, for this who find this link in the future. There are five clips (DYC101470), take care and use a panel clip remover and gently push the finisher outwards. First is 15cm from the edge and second 30 cm, same on both sides. On the right side the third clip is 41.5cm from the edge. Hope this...

Hi folks, Well, after destroying a couple of the clips (DCE100560) for the side finishers I better ask how to remove the upper finisher? Don't want to destroy it and it isn't obvious for me on how to do... Should it be lifted or slided, to my defence it is difficult to see due to a lot of...

Hi To recalibrate the tailgate window just disconnect the battery again, then connect the battery and rev the engine at 1500 rpm for 15 s then use the button on the console to close the window. Can be good to keep it at 1500 rpm while you run the window regulator. When the window is closed then...

Hello, A really stupid question.. While doing some welding on my Freelander 1 I removed the inner wheel arches and when I put them back I noticed there were no protection for the edge. Is CLB100160 (No 5 in picture) the only protection for the arch? Do you guys know the approx length och...

Thank you for the How To.

Hello, I changed the wires this weekend and had same problem. Had to drill a hole and insert a kingpin in the catch mechanism stopping it from going back. For me that sorted the window not going down when I pressed the handle.

Hello Sorry for this, there are already numerous posts regarding window regulator. In my car the previous owner fitted an aftermarket regulator/motor. If I need a new one I have to buy both or the motor won't fit, any advice of a good enough brand? The problem I have with my current setup is...

Hi Just a quick report back, unfortunately it wasn't a leaking washer hose. After a heavy rain with the car parked with the rear a bit higher the carpet got wet plus so a never ending story :). Theres no water shedder atm so will put a sheet of polyurethane for now, anyone know the material for...

Cheers! Thanks to both of you. There is som slight amount of water behind the cap, I put some paper towel there. I will also check the washer hose, that could explain why I can't replicate the leakage using the water hose. /Chris
