Thanks guys, I did fiddle a lot with the shoes to make them "round" and depressed the cylinder as far to leave a gap between it and the shoes. But shoes stay where they are. I did notice the cam and tried to turn it, but was careful not to damage anything. Now you have mentioned it I'll...

Hello, need some advise. Hope you guys can help. The problem: My hand brake cable has snapped on the rh side. Now all I've done is having a look what I need, so took wheel and brake disc off. Saw cable snapped, pulled it out and took the broken end from the brake shoes. Now I just want...

Is it definitely always after 30 min ? I had similar with my V8 Disco. That was when petrol went down to 1/4 tank. It appeared to be the fuel pump. Not enough pressure, so not enough petrol and no revs. There are a few hotshots out there who can tell you straight away. Just wait for them...

None of my cars ever, and none were new ones, needed a new clutch. My Disco (below) still has the original one. It must be the way its driven. Be sure you don't "ride" a clutch, use your brake on a hill (and not the clutch) and when changing gears listen to the engine and time your...

Roger that ! :5bseeya:

Was getting late and decided to put my old pads back in. Cleaned them (and the rest) with a wire brush, as mentioned in the Haynes Manual. Also sanded the rusty disc edges. Result was good. :clap2: Especially after a few times hard braking. Seems that a lot of crap could have been the...

Yes, checked them all, thanks. It can't be the rear brake shoes can it ? They are only used by the handbrake, right ? :dizzy:

Got the same problem as above with my FL. It got worse lately. But I knew I got enough meat on mine. Took 'm off anyway. No grit and discs look fine. Pads are shiny though. Is that normal ? Or could this be cheap pads ? Apec is says. Is that the make ? I am gonna change them anyway...

Salt is cheaper, I think. :nothingtoadd:

Air contains moisture. Warmer air holds more moisture than cold air. It will condensate as soon as the air cools below its due-point. So warm air will condensate at a higher temp than cold air. The air close to the coldest window will condensate (on the window) first. Any window covered...

Apparently not all FL's have a pollen filter. Check the : "where is the pollen filter" post. :frusty:

:nopics:

Haven't opened mine for the last 8 years. Crap has sealed it over time. :crazy:

On this site you'll normally get a reply within 10 min. I'd say : Explain a bit more :violin:

When the problem is solved, it ain't a problem anymore, is it !! Sounds a deal to me !!:banana::car::bounce::multiply:

And, yes it does ! :clap2:

If you treat FL with respect, shouldn't be a problem. But must admit, 1.8 petrol is a bit underpowered.

Nothing wrong with a FL. Many of us who criticize it, have one. For every car you can find a better alternative. But that's not the point here. It's the LR Dealers that I f*****g hate. As soon as you walk into their shop its gonna cost you thousands. When the head gasket on my FL went...

My wife finds my Disco-1 ( '92 ) too heavy to drive. Especially the clutch and gear. An automatic would solve that. She has driven our Freelander-1 for years, but now preferes a VW golf. In comparison she still finds the Freelander heavy. I now drive our Gaylander. It's a...

What are the symptoms. :rolly:
