Hello, I have problem with water in the small compartment illustrated by the photo. I suspected the fuel filler and tried to seal around it and especially where two arrows point. Still after a heavy rain water enters even if I don't drive the car, so my question is if there shouldn't be sealant...

Hi, Thanks, and it's much cheaper than what I bought. I used to buy from UK but due to Brexit it is expensive and takes time with shipping. Any advice on the oil, can I keep it for now? /Chris

Hi Follow the instructions from Alibro, I didn't have much plastic left to glue to so had to do some more work but works great. A new handle is expensive so give this a try. Here is the recalibration procedure: Disarm the alarm system. Disconnect your Freelander battery. Wait for 5 seconds...

Hi, I changed oil in my gearbox (Freelander -04 1.8 manual). I had problem to find MTF94 so bought Liqui Moly 75W80 instead. Changing gears works fine but I now get weird errors, HDC (C1151), I expect electrical malfunction in reverse/1st gear or brake switch. Maybe just bad coincidence it all...

Hi I had the same problem, there are several threads on how to glue the bolts back. I glued mine back but unfortunately the repair didn't last very long. A few months ago I repaired it again, maybe overkill but this is how I did.

Hi, In retrospect maybe the old VCU was replaced too soon, but now I can sleep well and don't have to worry. /Chris

Hi, Got it two weeks ago, only driving around 15km

Hi, Old VCU: 5kg 1.2m 65s (measured at 25 deg C) Reconditioned VCU from Bell Engineering (13 deg C): 5kg 1.2m 42s 8kg 1.2m 19s /Chris

Cheers to all of you. Sorted, it was easier than expected, same with bearings. Used the bolt to push it in place. Now I will fit new bushing for the diff and then put everything back again!!

Ah, hmm and some bad langauge, let's see how I get that sorted without damaging the bearings. Thank you for your quick response. /Chris

Hi, Going quite well but I have a question. unfortunately I didn’t press one of the “metal shields” back long enough so it is very tight to the bearing. I can rotate by hand so I guess it doesn’t matter? better to ask before everything is back on the car....

Interesting, I had the same plan but went for buying new ones. How do change the bearings, isn't there a risk that they will slide sideways? /Chris

Hello, Thank you all for your help and advices. Unfortunately bell didn’t have the bearing in stock so I purchased separately. Will fit GKN with bearings from FAG. After a long frustrating work week I will have no problem to hit that prop hard enough . I will let you know how it goes.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback, Great then it is easy to mount the new bearings. I was afraid it was a very tight fit and I don’t have a press to do it. I checked the VCU (57 seconds, 5kg 1.2m) so I ordered a reconditioned one from Bells I will measure the time with the “new” one and post...

Hi, I gonna change the bearings for the prop shaft and wonder if it’s a good idea to put the VCU in the fridge to make it easier to fit the bearings? kind regards Chris

Hi, I agree that Android gives more freedom to their users, for good and for bad. In my case I have only seen the error when the car hasn't had the ignition on for a few minutes. This makes to suspect there is something with a capacitor in the controller. It could still be something with the...

Hi, I agree, but as long as I don't use it as OBD reader it is user friendly. I saw another thread that you dissected a fan controller, are they overly complicated? My cooling system seems to work but I get this P0480 error that I like to get rid of. They run on low speed when I have the AC and...

Hi, Thank you very much for your help. You're right, the values are not correct, I inserted a thin thermocouple in the house going from engine to radiator and it is almost spot on to the lower value. When I use generic EOBD I get correct values for coolant and air temperature, I will send an...

Hi, Thanks for your reply, I knew I forgot something :-) 1.8 K-engine /Chris

Hi I'm a new member and a Freelander for the last few days and have a couple of questions about sensors on a Freelander 1 -04. I scanned it with a OBD reader I got an error message P0480 and some temperature values I don't understand. I left the car over night so expected all reading to be...
