I love my old Freelander. I love working on it. I was given it and would not be able to afford a Disco or Defender. But I love my Freelander. Yes they have problems. But that's half the fun. :-)

Wow I wish I had the cash to do this. What a great bit of kit. :-)

Thanks for that I will get on with it as soon as I get a chance. I will try and post some more photos soon. :-)

I look forward to seeing the photos of the winch when you have it fitted.

Thanks Irishrover and Jedi. I will crack on with that. :-)

Where do you fit a winch on the freelander?

It is looking really nice. Are you doing a complete refurbishment of the interior or the whole vehicle.

Thanks Jedi. that is a good start so now I need to find the source. What would your opinion be on places to look?

Please can people give me their opinions on where you think this oil is coming from I am hoping it is not too serious. Thanks Guys KF

Hi Pardec, No probs with the tyres. but as soon as I can afford to I will replace all 4. I think you are right Mike.

I will also need to get a grip of the exhaust and the drive shaft bearings.

Hi GrumpyGel. I am going to shot blast the underside Later on this week so I can wax oil the underneath. I had it on the inspection trench at work. I think that end nut is going to be an angle grinder job. So I will have to replace them anyway. Any excuse. :-)

What do you all think? Should I replace the two from suspension lower arms. The other one is just as bad. Serious rust. The other thing are the trailing links they are looking a bit tired. Any thoughts would be welcome. .

Yep DTO. Sorry my spelling and terminology are not good. I have now sorted the problem. The adjuster screws were rusted and stuck. Today I replaced the Shoes, all the springs, struts and clips. And the new brake drums now fit perfectly. The brakes work perfectly now. :-)

Today I have replaced the break drums and replaced all the working parts and pads in the breaks. Including both wheel cylinders. Upper and Lower spring assembly's the adjuster struts. And the hand-break strut. Good as new. :-)

I have now had my EGR blanking mod on for 4 days. What a difference it has made to my fuel consumption 120 miles on 1/4 of a tank down the A9 to Perth. :-) very happy.

I spent yesterday removing g and replaceing the break drums on my 02 2tr TD4 Freelander. All was good until I tried to get the new drums on. I was unable to get them all the was as the pads were set to the old drums which are very worn. How the hell do you adjust the pad clearance. Please can...

My TD4 3 door freelander 02 plate has a damp patch in the lowest part of the tool boot. How ever hard I try I can't get rid of it totally. :-/

Hi Ste, you will find this forum a great place to get info. And the odd bit of banter. It is full of enthusiasts at all levels of expertise. I am one of the newbies and I would class myself as an enthusiastic beginner. All the way through to the expert mechanics. You will gain a lot from this...

Thanks Nickcc. :-)
