    Intercooler out lovely Sunday afternoon

    If you are getting bubbles coming through the coolant system, I presume it can only be gas being pushed into it (eg from the cylinders) of from air being sucked in. If there is a loose clip or small split in a hose on the low pressure side of the water pump, this could suck in air while not...

    Amber HDC lamp - won't go out.

    I'm not sure what the error, engaged and activated lights are - to know what your amber light means. If it's engaged, have you put a multimeter across the switch terminals to see if its still working OK?

    OIL/Auto trans oil cooler

    That thread is totally irrelevant to your car. It relates to a '98 car with an L Series engine. The config changed in 2000 to the TD4 and I'm sure it will be very different.

    Freelander 1 SRS oddity

    My first thoughts are whether the icarsoft can talk to the SRS and if it does whether it successfully connected to your SRS ECU. Sounds silly when you have your own diagnostic device, but I'd see if there was a garage willing to give you the codes on a no-win-(ie find any codes)-no-fee basis...

    Maybe it might be quicker overall to learn a little more about coding Arduino than learning how to code the 'AI' ;)

    Freelander 1 Auto 1.8

    I believe a popular insurer for modified vehicles used to be Adrian Flux... https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/ IIRC they used to be a sponsor on LZ. Can't help with the noise. Do you know all the donor parts were OK?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    After fitting the Hifly Super2000's and getting the F1 through its WOF recheck, I took it for a blast last night after work out to Twilight Golf then home afterwards. 26km drive out on the open road and the car/tyres looked to be performing well.

    Window regulator motor broken

    You don't say which window? You can cut the wires, make sure the glass doesn't fall down though.

    Freelander 1 HIFLY HF805 all weather tyres

    I've just ordered a couple of Hifly Super2000 tyres for my (2WD) F1. I'm sure the guy said $77.40 each - which equates to £35! I'll see when the invoice comes in. Should get the tyres this afternoon and I'll fit them tomorrow. At that price it seams stupid not to replace all 4 - but the...

    Mine's the opposite, always buys the parts for me in advance.... bucket, sponge etc.

    Freelander 2 11plate

    What does diagnostics say? If there's some error codes, it'll most likely point you in the right direction.

    +1 On the bright side, at least you won't have a hose pipe ban.

    Freelander 1 Auto 1.8

    Apart from the starter issue, that you look to have covered having proved the voltage in the wire can control a relay, you look to be down to 'regular' mechanical issues. Pretty good position to have got yourself into :cool:

    Freelander 2 (LR2) instrument cluster wiring fault

    Do these lights come on on a self test. When I get in my F2, I put the key/fob in the reseptical, foot on brake, press the start button and it fires up. I'm not sure if it does a self test on the bulbs. I just did a test. I put the fob in and pressed the start button. This puts the car into...

    Clutch fliud leak.

    Welcome to LZ. I can't help you on this, but good on you for jumping in and having a go. Hope someone can help and you get it sorted quickly.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) instrument cluster wiring fault

    Presumably you know the light doesn't come on because of the startup tests when all the lights are lit. Has someone butchered the LED to get it through a MOT? Will it fail a MOT if it does not illuminate on the self test? In doing that took out the oil LED, or butchered that to because it has...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    After you have polished up the lenses, spray them with a UV protector or they'll cloud up again quickly. Either that or the car parts shops here sell snake oil.

    Upgrade 2008 FL2 3.2 i6 to 2014 FL2 SD4 2.2?

    I'm sure there are ICEs that make the Freelander feel slow. And there will be ICEs and EVs that make the Freelander seem fast.
