If you insert the key and wiggle the steering wheel as you turn it, I'm sure the key and steering wheel will turn. That's the way steering locks on that and previous generations of cars have worked. The immobiliser does not stop the key or steering turning. It's pure electronics, so if you...

If you put the key in the ignition you can release the steering. Yes it has an immobiliser, the key needs to be in the ignition - but the immobilier doesn't lock the steering - it will just stop the engine cranking or starting and a LED will illuminate on the dash.

Taking a break is often the best plan. I've taken 15 year break on some of my F1's problems :D

I know nothing. A search looks like it might be the axis gyro gadget thingie.

It doesn't take much to find it... https://www.lrdirect.com/kkh102260-rod-assy-tie

There are lots of threads on here about the 'center engine mount'. Its a tie bar that bolts between the subframe and the IRD bracket which itself is bolted to the engine. There are a couple of types (IIRC rounded and hexagonal ends being the most notable difference). There is also chat about...

I agree the immobiliser chip is in the key not fob. So maybe they expect you to have the original key rather than getting 1 cut or replacement key and barrel. However, it does say... If you cannot start your Freelander this replacement key fob and programmer will still work. If your...

It has been discussed on LZ before a few times, here's a Google search listing hits...

This seams to imply it is for both alarm and immobiliser, however, it may just be the alarm. worth checking though... https://www.remotekey.co.uk/shop/land-rover/freelander-1/land-rover-freelander-1-key-fob/

I agree, the TD4 is a great all rounder. The feeling I get is that the I6 would be expensive to run and parts, the I4 would be better being a Ford engine but don't think they were available in UK and would only be at the tail end of your year range.

I think you will have to get a key and remote from a LR garage who can program it. Failing that you are going to need to get all sorts of bits from a breakers. Which bits depends on the year. Mine has the immobiliser chip in the fob, not the key. They started putting the chips in the keys...

When my daughter bought her first car she wanted a Mazda 2/Demio. The 3rd gen version about 2010. They were all 1.3 autos and were terrible piles of pooh. She had been driving our 90's 1.3 manual Toyota Starlet and even she was devastated at how bad they were because that is what she wanted...

This is the one I'm thinking of... https://landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/baffling-to-me-front-half-shaft-axle-length-mystery-too-short-twice.394540/

Do you still have the old drive shaft? When you get the one in question off, and the new one - compare to the old one. It appears there are some being distributed that are not the exact same dimensions - they are a few mm difference in some aspect. Forget the exact difference but there was a...

You have no excuses for dirty smalls now! Hope the job works out.

Spot the difference a day makes in Canterbury when a foehn norwest wind heating up warm Tasman air as it comes off the Southern Alps turns southerly dragging up cold Antarctic air from the Southern Ocean.

A juddery nightmare. Hope you can get it sorted soon.

Actually, I was pondering that today whilst toodling along at about 45mph - thought the revs sounded a bit high - and pondered popping the lever over and changing gear myself. I've only ever put it into manual control coming down long steep hills before. Tis interesting, cos on acceleration...

Which is fine if the box or TC doesn't pack a sad. In which case, you have a far bigger bill than replacing a clutch.
