Hi, I've had a few problems with solenoids on my auto box in my KV6 Freelander 1. All of my solenoids test OK electrically. However, I had a problem where the box wouldn't shift out of first until it warmed up. I fixed that by replacing Shift Solenoid A. The needle valve on that solenoid was...

Hi, My Freelander 1 V6 with the jatco 506e gearbox has a fault where it will not change out of 1st when cold and then goes into F4 limp home mode. If I drive on a while until the engine temp shows in the middle of the range and then switch the ignition off and then re-start the car, the gearbox...

I have recently replaced my gearbox solenoids. Since undertaking this work, I have noticed that the cooling fan runs for some minutes after switching off the ignition. Maybe just a coincidence, but it did not do this before the gearbox work. I generally understand the pre-conditions for the fan...

Hi, I have just replaced the rear window regulator. Calibration was successful. However, as the window gets to the top, it sits outside the top trim. I have adjusted the bottom of the runners as far rearward as they will allow to try to angle the glass forwards but this has not helped. Any...

I have two keys but only one contains a chip. The non chip key works more smoothly in the locks so I would like to swap the chip from one key to the other. Anyone have any advice or videos on how to open the key blank without damaging it?

Is it possible to program your own Freelander 1 v6 year 2000 key fob? The key fob has not worked since I have owned the car. I have found a couple of dry solder joints on the circuit board and repaired them. I have replaced the battery with a new one. I have tried the 'press five times etc etc...

Hi, I purchased a Freelander 1 a few months ago. The driver's door actuator was a mess and the sill button lost somewhere in the door! I swapped the actuator with one from a donor car. My remote fob does not work but the car locks fine using the key. The sill button rises and falls as expected...

The SRS warning light has been constantly on for the 4 months I have owned my 2000 Freelander 1 V6. I hoped it would be something simple like the under-seat seat belt pre-tensioner connections. I renewed the under seat connectors and took the car to an independent LR service centre to...

My Freelander 1 was originally fitted with cruise control. When I bought it, the steering wheel switch was broken. I have replaced the switch with one from a donor vehicle. The centre console switch LED works OK. I have noticed that the steering wheel switch has a very positive 'click'. Is this...

Hi, Any tips on how to remove the vinyl boot on the auto shift lever of a Freelander 1?

Does anyone have any instructions for replacing the drivers door actuator on a Freelander 1? Thanks

My Freelander 1 2.5 Auto shows N on the dash display and the LED next to N on the auto shifter regardless of what gear I am in. Does anyone know what might cause this?

Hi I have just picked up a Freelander cheap because of a gearbox issue. I'm hoping that I can get away with swapping a shift solenoid or two and trade may way on towards a rust free early Series 2. Yes, there are still plenty of them in Australia! The symptoms are a random change down from 4th...
