Morning, now that I've got the starter working and replaced the clutch hydraulics I'm starting to think about winter. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid but we do get a lot of road salt fired down in darkest Lanarkshire and my 17 year old F1 rear chassis is showing quite a lot of surface rust...at least I...

Evening, in typical Freelander fashion my clutch slave cylinder has blown itself apart ( L series diesel). . I've ordered new clutch hydraulics but until it arrives I thought I'd try to free up the seized release arm. I've scooshed it with penetrating oil and tried to trickle some light oil in...

I've had this rumble noise from the rear of my 2wd L series Freelander. I'd been getting more and more worried, thinking diff or wheel bearing. I thought I'd just try swapping the tyres back to front as I remember my dads old cortina having a dodgy tyre once back in the 70's and there being...

Evening, can anyone recommend a car cover that fits well over a Freelander 1. Just thinking about getting one before winter. The Freelander isn't used every day so should I get a breathable cover?

Hi, has anyone got a diagram of the aux belt routing on an l Series diesel ( with aircon). I've got the Rave CD but the files I've looked at are for the TD4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi, I know this has been covered before but.....I've broken the lip off the edge of the battery and sawed the head off the battery clamp bolt, but.... how do I get rid of the broken stub of the clamp bolt. Do I just smack it through the base of the battery tray with a chisel and hammer, cheers.

Hi, can anyone recommend an insurer that isn't bothered by a 2wd Freelander mod i.e the propshaft has been removed? On the comparison sites I've tried it makes quite a difference, any help would be appreciated

Hi, I'm rebuilding the solid disc front brakes of my w reg Freelander 1. The lower guide pin was seized, but I've cleaned it up and it's moving fine now. My question is about the upper pin. Is the bore for the upper pin different I.e is it keyed. I can only fully insert the pin in certain...

Hi, fitted new brake shoes to back left then...couldn't get the new drum on. The self adjuster is as far back as it can go.I did finally get the drum on but it's really tight and the brake is dragging a bit. On closer inspection I'm starting to to think the problem is the brake cylinder. I can...

The braking performance of my 200 l series f1 seemed pretty poor, had a look and both left and right lower guide pins stuck. I freed up the drivers side with copious plus gas , twisting with mole grips then a big hammer and chisel. The other side is stuck and cant shift it. I've tried freeze...

Hi, thought I'd check out the condition of the brake shoes before the next Mot and found them to be OK but the whole brake assembly was covered with black gunge. http://1drv.ms/1nbZf6H I assume this is a sign that the brake cylinder seals are past there best? Cheers

I thought I'd better change the oil in the rear diff, so, I used a syringe toil to suck out as much as I could. The oil that came out wasn't clear at all, it was a dark brown shade , a bit like a bad cup of coffee. Is this to be expected on a 15 yr old Hippo with 112000 on the clock

The plastic bit at the end of the dipstick has broken off and hopefully is in the sump. I dropped into a few scrappies at the weekend but no L series freelanders. Now I'm wondering if a rover car with the l series diesel would have the same dipstick. Does anyone know? Any chance someone could...

I could have sworn my 2000 Freelander was gold , however the paint code is 642 on the passenger door pillar. Paint code 642 is Blenheim Silver but interestingly the Registration doc describes the car as Gold. So, I'm not quite sure what my question is.....has anyone else noticed this...

Hi, trying to do up my first Land rover, a Wreg l series Freelander. The one thing that's worrying me now is the droning rumbling noise from underneath. It starts at very low speeds ,doesn't get get much louder as speed increases but its always there, I wouldn't say its a whine. There are no...

Recently bought my first Landrover, year 2000 l series diesel Freelander.It doesn't move at the moment and it keeps me awake at night worrying about the next job to do....... but the kids love playing in it ,so all's well. Almost bought a disco 1 but was put off when my screwdriver went through...
