    Stretch bolts

    they stretch when you torque them up, not when you run the engine. was always taught that once they were torqued up, that was it and they shouldn't be re-used if undone.

    Major brake failure.

    ha, not so safeman then... there is only one reservoir which serves both circuits. they are indeed diagonally split such that a failure of one circuit does not affect the other. however, they rely on there still being fluid in the system to work. one other thing to check is the level switch...

    FreeLander 2 Wheels

    exactly, stop looking at freelander 2 wheels, they won't fit, irrespective of size, that's not the issue, it's one of pcd.

    2001 td4 auto no reverse

    vaguely recall an issue where the friction coating had slipped of the band and jammed (not sure if I dreamt this though)

    td4 engine rebuild

    for £100 I'd be inclined to have a punt, can always sell it back on (possibly at a profit). plus the dismantling and reassembly will give you a whole wealth of knowledge about the engine currently fitted, and help to understand that one a lot better.

    Alarm and locking doors

    something is not closing properly, although all the doors are closed, don't forget that the alarm also monitors the bonnet and the boot. try opening and closing those too and see if the problem persists. the fault is not with the fob however, this is a vehicle issue. also worth having a look...

    Electrostatic discharge protection

    Hmn, can remember changing Z80 PIO chips in access control systems which seemed a bit susceptible to bad handling, used to carry a box of them in the car as spares, changed at least one a week. always used to just touch the metal of the enclosure, which was earthed, before I got one out, never...

    2001 td4 auto no reverse

    pictures courtesy of ashcroft transmissions: 1st pic (not suprisingly) shows the do not remove bolt which holds the reverse bands in place 2nd pic show the level bung which is a 5mm allen key bolt http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/automatic-gearboxes/jatco-jf506e.html

    Freelander 2 interior rattle

    had this on mine, turns out it was the plastic trim surround where the rear view mirror sticks to the windscreen. A bit of blu tack will prove or disprove this, then silicon sealant or hot melt glue gun for permanent solution (only needs a dab each side) good luck

    auxiliary lighting switch set wiring

    well chris, you've not given us an awful lot to go on, we don't even know which version freelander you have. however, the auxiliary light switches are designed to go with the standard factory loom, which may be in place from new, or retro fitted as an extra. the loom will come in a couple of...

    Immobiliser

    Hmmn, best thing to advise is to try it. If unsucessful, you can start a new thread: "I disconnected my battery and now my 300tdi won't start" good luck though.

    Trusted sellers or ones to avoid?

    fair do's roughandtough, it seems you have a fair case. However, it's not unknown for those kind of shenanigans to go on on this forum. perhaps you could email landiman devon the link to this thread and offer them the chance to respond with their side of the story ? that way we can form a...

    leather seat re vamp

    From wikipedia: "An attempt to expand into the American market in the 1990s failed badly and Connolly Leather ceased trading in June 2002. However, in 2003, Jonathan Connolly established C B Leather Ltd and resumed the manufacture and production of high quality leather and now sells under both...

    Trusted sellers or ones to avoid?

    Hmmn, first post and it's defamatory, then gone again. Minimal info in profile. Do you work for a competitor to landiman devon ?

    Freelander 1 keyfob problem

    try changing the battery in the key fob, possibly dry joint in the fob too, which you should see with a magnifying glass. if you take the battery out for any length of time (>2 mins or so, not an exact science) or operate the buttons with the battery out, you may then need to resynch the fob to...

    Freelander 2 - td4 or sd4???

    Hi Ed, We have a td4 freelander 2 manual and find it more than adequate for anything we need to do with it. If I'm just pootling about on my own, I tend to give it a bit of stick, and it performs really well, especially considering its weight. It quite happily keeps up with all the other...
