    Freelander 1 Starts then dies

    The ignition switch is known to fail, which could cause the issue. Also the fuel pump can cause these symptoms.

    Freelander 1 Freelander EV

    I can probably dream of doing it much better than actually doing it. Maybe, although I'd have to convince the wife it's worth doing.

    Freelander 2 - lumpy

    Probably. It happened just as the CC reapplied power after going down hill, but it was raining and the road was pretty wet. Odd, but at least it's never reoccurred.

    Feels like handbrake is on! FL1 1998 1.8

    I can't see how the MOT place can tell a brake is binding slightly, as it's tested on a road test using a rather crude Taply brake tester.

    Aluminum shavings in the sump…

    It's possible that there was a design change to increase bearing area applied to later engines. The L series engine lived on until 2005 in the Rover 45 and MG SZ diesel, so it's possible that is a modification for those later and higher power variants.

    For more height and spring rate, the springs from an AC equipped TD4.

    Aluminum shavings in the sump…

    You can tell how many thrust  shells should be fitted by looking at the bearing cap. If there are supposed to be 4, then the cap will be machined to provide a surface for them to rest against. If there are only supposed to be 2 fitted, then the cap will normally lock them in place, preventing...

    Freelander 2 - lumpy

    Was the vehicle on cruise control at the time? My FL2 had what felt like a 1 cylinder dropout when doing 70mph on CC. It did it only once before I sold it, and the next owner hasn't reported it to me. I put it down to a glitch in the CC system. However if the vehicle is still using the original...

    Whiring power steering pump

    My guess is the filter is beginning to clogg. I'd replace the reservoir and give it a fluid change with correct high quality fluid.

    Freelander 1 Freelander EV

    It could be confusing for a first time reader of this thread. I must admit that I'm interested in this zombi VCU, as I'm wondering if it could made to work with other vehicles, like the Freelander 2, maybe? I think prices of batteries and dead engine FL2s are now low enough to make a EV...

    VCU not to be confused with a Freelander 1 VCU of course. :confused:

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 keeps stopping

    The fuel pump in the tank doesn't pump fuel to the engine. The pump in the tank is there to pass fuel over the hump in the tank, where the propshaft cuts it in ½. There is a lift pump in the HP fuel pump, which draws fuel up from the tank, same as any old Bosch sequential diesel pump did.

    Guess where Sport went on holiday ?

    Nice. Tobermory is on my list of places to visit when I get to visit Scotland again.

    Multi-lock does not unlock boot

    Yes that's the boot switch, which is a common problem.

    Back indicator - fuse or bulb ?

    If only one of the indicators isn't working, then it's a bulb or it's connection. It won't be a fuse, as the indicators aren't fused independently.

    Freelander 1 Freelander EV

    Can you not put the Chademo socket where the original fuel filled was, or is that space already taken?

    Multi-lock does not unlock boot

    The boot only unlocks when told to by the body module. It's locked all the time, regardless of whether the car is locked or unlocked. If the car is locked, the BCM simply ignores the button on the boot handle, if the car is fully unlocked, the BCM applies power to the boot latch to release it...

    Freelander 1 Freelander EV

    I struggle to listen to Damien for more than a few minutes at a time Ali, so didn't watch the whole video. Does the board come ready assembled, or do you have to put it together yourself, with components you've souced?
