Anyone replaced their camshaft sensor (NSC100932) as this part is no longer available with the lead attached, so it's a separate sensor and separate wiring loom which plug together. However looking at most of the sensors available the connection is on the top of the sensor rather than at right...

Hi, With Hawkeye, can I see what fobs/key chips are held in the system (Freelander 1, 1.8 2005)? Have been reluctant to go into that part of the Hawkeye system for fear of wiping out what is currently there and there appears to be little literature on how to use this specific area of Hawkeye...

2005 1.8. How does the immobiliser system work? I know there is an unpowered chip/block within the top part of the ignition key, and this reacts with something in the steering column electrics to tell the system that key/chip is present, without which the car turns over but won't start. How...

Has anyone fitted a new head gasket and used a product such as 'Hylomar Blue' (high performance, non-setting gasket and jointing compound) on either an MLS or Elastomer gasket to help seal between the HG and the block & the head itself? Views appreciated.....

Next issue identified as error code P0480 Fan 1 Control Circuit - open circuit. OK so, what is an open circuit, is it a bad earth, if so where is Fan 1 control circuit earthed? If it's not a bad earth, what can it be? Both fans do work and with Hawkeye, can be turned on & off thru...

So the expansion tank has the coolant level half way between min & max. Run engine at tick over for 10 minutes and coolant level rises, up to the welded join in the expansion tank. The by-pass thermostat is hot on the top side, but cold on the bottom, therefore the thermostat not opened...

Hi, Does anyone know the correct part number for the coolant temperature sensor for a 1.8 2005 Freelander 1? I'm being quoted MEK100130, MEK100130L, MEK100060, MEK000030L, MEK500130...... They can't all be right??

Advice please. 2005 Facelift 1.8 petrol. Thinking of upgrading rear bumper to one with parking sensors, so what else do I need other than the bumper/sensors itself. Believe I would need Parking sensor control module PDC ECU YWC500142 & Parking Sensor Button Switch & Housing. Is there...

Like many others, the side step brackets have rusted to nothing. However, have found a company that has made exact replicas for both the 'bottle neck' style steps and other styles as well. These are galvanised, so won't disintegrate like the originals. Whilst not cheap, they are exactly made...

Hi, 2005 1.8i Freelander has fault codes P0141 (DS Oxy sensor heater) & P1191 (DS Oxy sensor heater - open circuit). When starting the engine, the DS 02 heater shows 0.006 A (which is static). When engine up to temp DS 02 sensor shows 0.475V through 0.489V So a couple of questions, I...

Am advised that the coolant fans are controlled by a relay (part no YWB100980L) as per picture below. Is this true for the facelift versions as I've also been told the fans are controlled by the ECU and not by a relay? If YWB100980L is used on the facelift 1.8 can someone tell me where this...

Anyone know about Freelander 1 wing mirrors and which ones are compatible with the Facelift models. Looks like the wing (door) mirrors changed but not sure which part numbers (electric or powerfold) needed for the last (2005) models. Thanks in advance.

Hi experts...... on the 1.8 K series the inlet manifold has a 'ball bearing' type (possibly pressure) device that controls the coolant (and attaches the coolant hose from the inlet manifold back to the expansion tank). Understand this sometimes gets corroded and stops working and I assume this...

Hi, has anyone got a diagram of the coolant system for a 2005 facelift 1.8 K series. I've replaced some of the hoses and my vehicle seems to have a long hose from the low water level sensor, across the back of the engine and around to the front and attach to a fitment directly underneath the...

Have looked at a number of Freelander 2's in the last few days (2013/2014 models) and nearly all have severe rust around where the aircon pipes pass through the bulkhead (by the steering column). Can't tell the extent of it as it is hidden by the felt soundproofing on the bulkhead. There appears...

Hi all. A question please. Are the 2 breather hoses connected to the filler pipe neck the same hose(s) as the fuel tank breather hose? If not, where does the fuel tank breather hose go to (from the petrol tank)? I'm having fuel tank pressure issues which is causing fuel starvation / missing...

OK, an old subject but still haven't been able to ascertain what happens when the VCU decides it has had enough. I understand the VCU stiffens up, but what are the symptoms? I assume it gets hot when driving, but does it actually seize up, locking the rear wheels? if not, what are the signs...

Hi, Any views about how to get off the original bonnet lettering badge emblems letters, so I can replace them with new ones that haven't discoloured, without damaging the bonnet or the paintwork?

OK, let's start (probably again) as to how the C-clip should actually be fitted to the 1.8 K series. I've always believed that you instal the slave cylinder and then clip the C-clip on with the open side of the C facing the back of the car. However differing views are emerging that suggest the...

Hi all, Freelander 1, 1.8 K series (2005) Facelift model. OK I have one key (with a transponder - a small black, graphite / magnet looking thing within the key itself) and I have one Alarm Key Fob (2 button Lucas model). Everything is fine and dandy, but won't be if I every lose the key/key...
