Hi everyone! I've been away a long time! Just wondering if anyone could help me. I fitted a lift kit in 2014 when I bought the Freelander. I took the car down to my local garage and asked them to check everything was aligned properly and they said it was all fine. 3 or 4 months after that I...

Hi everyone Just wanted to pick your brains... Would these: Be Abel to be welded on the the side step brackets: to provide suitable jacking points for a hi lift Jack? I really want to use the Jack & as I have the lift kit & big tyres the standard Jack can't lift it anywhere near enough to get...

Hi everyone. I'm planning a camping trip in the spring. Was just collecting all equipment together and thought about getting a roof tent. Will the 3 door Freelander cope with it & with the weight of 2 regular sized people sleeping in it?

Hi everyone. Having played around with my Freelander a bit more lately I've realised I hate the front seats. I'm 6'1" & have broad shoulders & the top on the standard cloth seats are sitting in my shoulder blades, which means it doesn't stop me sliding in my seat & it isn't comfortable. Also the...

Hoping someone can help me. I've recently changed all the rubber brakes hoses for stainless steel Hel lines and also replaced the rear drum cylinders. I bled the entire brake system and the brakes work with the first press of the pedal, but if I lift my foot and press it down again the pedal...

I thought it would be interesting to dig out all my receipts for things I've spent on my Freelander Td4 since I bought it in October 2013. Definitely wasn't expecting this!!: Freelander Td4 (2001) £1,595.00 K&N air filter...

Hi everyone If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it. I recently fitted a Borg & Beck clutch kit including the supplied slave cylinder. Having out it back together the gear change was difficult so I replaced two of the connecting rods. However it didn't make any difference. I bled the...

Having recently changed my clutch and flywheel I'm now struggling with a floppy gear lever. It has always been loose and I replaced the rear rubber block with a poly one for the PG1 gearbox. But the linkages at the front where it connects to the gearbox are different. I went to Land Rover in...

Hello I'm currently changing the clutch and having removed the drive shafts I notice one of the relict or rings had cracked. Bout a new set but have no idea how to fit them? Can anyone recommend a good method?

Hi all I've been away for a while having SORN the Freelander & been using the bike, but now I've had the Td4 MOT'd I've started changing the clutch. Eventually got everything off but noticed the pressure plate & flywheel had got a bit hot whilst using the car and trying not to make the clutch...

I read somewhere that Land Rover changed the temperature sensor that sits behind the grill, to one with a green band around it which had a wider tolerance allowing the FBH to come on at a slightly higher temperature, allowing the cabin heater to give warm air sooner. My 2001 Td4 Freelander takes...

I noticed my V5 says I have 6 seats, but I can only find 5 of them! Any idea where the other one has gone?!!

I'm changing the clutch on my 2001 Td4 in the next week or so & just wanted to confirm what fluid I use? I had a look on the Rave disc but it didn't list it in the fluids & capacities section. I was going to use Dot4, is this what everyone else uses?

I'm planning a long distance trip & would like to carry an additional spare wheel. The roof will be full so I'd like to mount a wheel on the bonnet. Is there a specific carrier I'd need or can I use a universal one? Has anyone else mounted a wheel on their bonnet? I was thinking of fitting...

I drove to & from Manchester last weekend & having checked all the fluids before setting off I rechecked it all once I returned home. The Td4 hasn't used any oil but had used a small amount of water from the header tank. I've looked for any cracks but can't find any, but I did notice that the...

Hi envy one I'm looking at getting a new clutch for my 2001 Td4 as I think the clutch is slipping since fitting the Synergy 2a tuning box. At around 2500rpm the revs increase without the speed increasing at the equivalent rate, then the revs settle down again. So I was thinking of fitting a...

Aside from the "it won't pass an MOT without a rear silence", I need to remove and rub down & re-spray rear box. Having looked underneath it appears that the silencer is clamped onto the exhaust after it passes over the rear subframe. If I was to remove the silencer & replace it with a cheap...

I know the subject has been thrashed out on this forum in many different threads but after all the flooding some people have suffered this winter I thought perhaps it was a good idea to install a wading kit. I know we're told the Hippo will float before it starts to need a snorkel, but when...

I've been trying to buy a steering wheel control cable for my Pioneer head unit. I removed the Land Rove stereo that was in the car when I bought it which the steering wheel controls worked fine with. I bought an Autoleads cable and Pioneer patch lead from eBay, chose the 2001-2003 BMW round...

I bought a set of Freelander headlamp guards for £30 incl delivery. Before I fit them does anyone have any tips on how I should do it? I don't want to mess up drilling the wings!! Is there a template available to download anywhere?
