Is it OK to tow my AUTOMATIC 2WD FL1 TD4 just under 2 miles to my trusted mechanic? It's thrown off the auxiliary fanbelt. I need to get it there ASAP, or garage won't be able to look at it. Alternative is to drive it there keeping a close eye on the temperature gauge as water pump won't be...

Hi collective. Does anyone have a spare FL1 battery retaining clamp please? Price posted cheapest service to HU17 0TS. Kind regards, Mike.

NOW SORTED THANKS. Hi everyone. Just opened 2001 TD4, then rear window slowly powered itself fully down when I opened the tailgate. It now refuses to close:confused::mad: The battery was pretty flat, so I hooked battery up with jump leads to my daily driver F1. BUT, all electrics will...

you all a Happy and a very HEALTHY New Year from a very Sunny (for the moment) East Riding of Yorkshire. Mike

My recently PURCHASED, 2002 FL GS Auto TD4 currently wears 205 70 15 's. Are 245 70 15's too wide to contemplate as replacements? Been offered some with more tread on than current tyres. No point buying if there'll be significant rubbing issues. I've ordered both an Owners Handbook AND Haynes...

Hello again, Collective. What "fitment" are the 5 studs on a 2002 FL1 please? Many thanks, Mike.

Has anyone created a list of the light fitments for the FL1 by any chance please?

My rear wiper has only activated once in numerous attempts. Any fault-finding pointers will be very welcome. I have a 2002 Td4 5-door. Mike.

I'm nowhere near as flexible as I used to be, but having contorted myself to the max, I can't find the OBD2 port anywhereo_O Please put me out of my misery...I'm desperate to plug in my handy Bluetooth thingy and see what TorquePro may enlighten me with:cool: There's no handbook with the car...

24 hours after buying the Freelander, there's ZERO oil on the drive:confused:

Hi. I'm Mike - Jondor is my project nightmare...I mean project barge. Last night, after working on my 2000 P38 4.6 Thor chariot that failed MOT last month, I took the plunge on an 02 GS, TD4 - powered 5-door Freelander with almost 190k miles on the odometer. It's very scruffy, but already...

Last night, after discovering the wet stuff leaking significantly from the heater matrix in my P38, I went and did it... ........... I bought a TD4-powered 02 REG Freelander for £550. Please forgive AND pray for me one and all... I still have my P38 - always shall until I pop my clogs - but...

As you will know, John "Rubberknees" has recently had successful surgery for a large, cancerous bowel tumour. A few days ago he was rushed in again with the complication of a twisted bowel. I just received the following great news from him: Hi honey I'm home as the man said. Allowed out after...

Just been offered an almost brand new set of 235 55 19 109 rated tyres. Since I got my P38 6years ago, I've generally run with 255 55 18 or 19's. Just wondering about potential issues with running 20mm narrower tyres. We're they an option when new? Looking forward to feedback of your...

Got the P38 back on air again over a year after it sighed and dropped ontothe bumpstops. This is now how she sits in "normal" height. It seems quite a bit higher than I remember...and has a definite list to starboard! What do you guys think please?

I need a longer shaft version... Photo attached this time...thought I'd added it before. It may actually make sense this time... ;~}

Just gone to start car and horrified that battery voltage is at 1.62v after being parked up for 72hrs or so! No lights left on, or anything else that I can see. What's the best course of action to establish what's happened please guys...before I get on blower for Alan to abandon his holiday...

Does anyone know where I can get the special tool to remove the VCF please? My usual mechanic can't replace pump for a week and I need to get it done ASAP, so DIY time! Cheers, Mike

I have a little Satnav, it sits there in my car. A Satnav is a driver's friend it tells you where you are. I have a little Satnav, i've had it all my life. It's better than the normal ones, my Satnav is my wife. It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive "It's sixty miles an hour"...

Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a...
