Have a nice day.

I'm writing to inform any who may be interested in the following. I have just completed replacing my KPH speedo (European Model) with a cluster from the UK. The new (second-hand) dial indicates MPH & KMP, so my trips to the UK - especially to the Isle of Skye on an annual basis, can be used with...

Today, I removed the Fuel-rail pressure sensor, the one that has been problematic for a while. Having fabricated a replacement cable with a new plug, using an in-line 3-pin connector that enabled me to change cables/connecting-plugs with ease, both the original plug as well as the new...

Today, I did a job/modification I had been intending to do for a while. Headlight Washers, on my FL1. My original plan was to have a separate pump and operating switch, but recently watched a Range Rover operate his windscreen washers while the headlights got a wash too. That’s when I recalled...

Hi. Having recently given out some information regarding one particular beach that had two wrecks, but may only have one now, I'm including the same info into this Thread. The beach lies approx 12 Kms South of the town, Sidi Ifni. The turn-off, leaving the road to get to the beach, N29° 17'...

Hi. I've just renewed the gearbox (fully synthetic) oil in my 2006 FL1 Td4, manual, and it took 1.85 litres of oil. The car was perfectly level so no problems there. I measured what went in, and of course what came out. And, it too was 1.85 litres, although as black as tar. It's only a guess...

Having just carried out an oil change on my IRD box, which was a bit messy using a 60ml syringe, I then turned my attention to the Manual Gearbox. The filler plug had a Torx fitting head and was so tight it rounded off as I attempted to remove it with the appropriate Torx tool. And that leaves...

Fuel Rail Connector. Having driven from the South of Spain...to the Isle of Skye via Amsterdam – for the ferry to Newcastle, the one and only problem I had with my Freelander 1, Td4, HSE 2006, 2.0 diesel was the Fuel Rail Connector breaking its connection. I used my IcarSoft Diagnostics scanner...

From the moment my Freelander 1, HSE Td4, 2.0ltr, 2006, ignition is turned on (engine not running), the rear fuel pump runs for exactly 60 seconds before cutting out - indicating the correct pressure has been acheived. Can anyone else quote the time their pump runs for before cutting out so I...

Having researched the FL1 Fuel Pump and all its queries on LandyZone, I've learned that buying a cheap Fuel Pump (rear-R/H wheel arch type) can be a mistake. There is actually a video on YouTube of a FL1 owner playing the noise of a brand-new pump immediately after fitment. It's enough to turn...

If it's of any interest, I'm showing the guts of the ECU fitted to my car - inside & out. This could be used for reference.

Having read lots of Threads concerning the FL1 speedo cluster, learning from some the recorded mileage is held in the cluster's circuit-board as well as within the ECU. Some also suggest that if the original cluster is replaced the vehicle will adopt & show the higher of the recorded mileage...

I'm in the process of replacing my FL1 Td4 2006 speedo cluster - and wonder if anyone can give me the Eeprom type, as fitted for the Mileage/Kilometer memory chip on the internal circuit-board? The cluster model is as shown in the following photo's, which is a suitable replacement. It'll be an...

I'm looking for a pair of Front Fog Lights, minus the bulbs & bezels. A 2006 Td4, manual diesel is my chariot. I'm certain all the FL1 Front Fogs are the same, but would stand corrected if someone knows better. P&P to either Essex, or Spain. Thanks.

Freelander 1, Td4, 2006. BMW engine. When I bought my Freelander, almost 2 years ago, I went through a systematic process of upgrading it with mod’s; alterations that were mentioned in LandyZone as being beneficial, which all have been. However, there was something I did that changed the...

Hi. I've read several threads concerning a lack of power upto the 1500 - 2000 RPM range, where several learned individuals pointed the finger at the vacuum system being to blame. I have noticed that over a period of several months that my Td4 was also hesitating to pull away from roundabouts...

Hi everyone. I’ve just investigated the L/H engine mounting on my 2006 FL1 Td4, the one fitted to the chassis below the battery box, and it’s split. I’m now looking to replace it but cannot locate a spare – anywhere. As a rule I use Ebay, but there are none for the L/H mount. Can anyone help me...

Hi everyone, especially Freelander 1 owners. I’ve just carried out an exercise that could be said to be ‘questionable’. Please allow me to explain. When I parked my FL1 on a slope, the engine seemed to shut down with a vibration, causing the exhaust to knock and the bodywork to shake. I...

Hi everyone. Have I got a tale-to-tell? I’m just back from a drive between Southern Spain ( where I live with my wife, Freelander 1 Td4, 2006 ) and the Isle of Skye, Scotland. I went via a DFDS Ferry from Amsterdam to Newcastle, so basically drove through six countries to get to my favourite...
