    automatic gearbox

    when I did my auto conversion the gearbox worked fine, but quite quickly after the initial start it started making a nasty noise, this was after refilling, engine warm and running, upto the level. I drove it around a bit (including a one hour drive to a geabox specialist and back) before...

    Unable to bleed brakes

    From my experience; Rimmer Bros customer services like to play these games. They supplied me with reversing sensors that didn't work and then told me that because I had tried them that I would have to put in a warranty claim and wait for replacements. However, consumer law and distance selling...

    Freelander 1 Fob vs Dash Button Lock/Unlock?

    It would seem logical to me that you can't defeat deadlock by reaching in through an open window and hitting a switch. Edit: I just tried. If I lock with the fob then it deadlocks, and the interior switch now does absolutely nothing. if I lock with the interior switch then I can unlock with...

    Freelander 1 Fob vs Dash Button Lock/Unlock?

    As far as I know the door locks are all driven by the 27VT body control module. I don't think that any of the switches are connected to the door lock motors in any way. Basically the switches are all just "requests" to the 27VT and it's the 27VT that drives the motors, and it does it in the same...

    Disco 4 (LR4) anyone got a 3.0 TDV6 near Ruislip?

    Hi I need to have a look at a 3.0 TDV6 engine side by side with my Jaguar 2.7. I'm trying to figure out if the aluminium intakes designed for a Disco 4 will fit on my engine and no one can tell me. If anyone has one near me in Ruislip and I could pop over and have a look I would much appreciate...

    Unable to bleed brakes

    I've never done with with brakes, only on a clutch on an old Peugeot that was very difficult to do, but I think it would work. I got a length of hose that was secure on the bleed nipple but long enough to run all the way back to the fluid reservoir. Basically I could pump the fluid round and...

    MK1 Freelander lost keys

    pre 2000 and post 2000 use completely different protocols from the alarm (pre 2000) / immo (post 2000) to the engine ECU pre 2000 it's the old MG Rover EMS codes. This is a fixed code which is the same system as MG Rover 5AS and Pektron alarm systems. pre 2000 engine ECUs can be put into a...

    MK1 Freelander lost keys

    on a 2000 on it uses a BMW rolling code system. You can reflash the engine ECU to ignore the immo. The immo also inhibits the starter motor so you would have to wire your own starter motor relay from the key to bypass it. I don't remember what other things the immo interferes with, so you would...

    MK1 Freelander lost keys

    They used the 27VT as both alarm and immobiliser up until 1999. From year 2000 they took the immo function out of the 27VT and moved it to a separate BMW based EWS3D and then in 2004 replace the EWS3D with their own SAWDOC system. So, if your Freelander is 1997 to 1999 then you don't need to...

    13th September works for me. But if I'm the only one not wanting it in late July I'm not going to be resentful about it.

    Freelander 1 Auto 1.8

    first fuel consumption figures are in. We are getting about 24mpg driving around London. Driving to PoL and back, most of which was cruising at 65mph or so on the M40 got me 30mpg. I don't know how that compares with a manual 1.8 but it doesn't seem too bad to me.
