I agree with what your saying but from what I have read on the forum the 1.8 is alot more unreliable than the other engine in the freelander and prob over the hole land rover fleet. I still have my project freelander that I was going to get on the road as the main family moter but I maybe better...

If you read my post properly im not expecting a new car and I have been doing alot of work myself after reading struff on this site, but when I had seen in the histery that the head had been re done only 25000 ago and the fact that I only do about 4000-6000 a year that the head would be...

"Old IRD ratio - 1.458:1 New IRD ratio- 1.467:1 *(every Freelander from VIN YA999999)" I thought the YA999999 were the old and the 1A0000001 were the newer ones??

yes it is, but the spring on the end of the cable inside drum is compressed alot more than other side. If that means anything??

mine is a 2001 and also 1axxxxxxxxxx the handbrake cable was bought for a 2001-2006 model and was £30 ish. when I layed the old one and the new one together the black part with clips were the same but once fitted the cable seems atleast an 30-50mm shorter. So im still lost if it is right one or...

When working on my hand brake today I noticed a blank white/grey plug hanging down below the steering wheel, just to the left side of the fuse box. should this be pluged in somewere and whats it for? It was getting dark when I spotted it so could see very well for other side of a plug.

I have just fitted a LH cable on my 2001 freelander and it seems to be very tight and alot shorter than the old RH one. I Had to fully adjust at the back of the handbrake to get cable on but now the RH isnt doing anything. Is this the wrong cable or is there something I have done?

hi and enjoy the site, also from west coast scotland :D
