    New Freelander Project - Codename SNAKE

    Yeah I'm hoping but this is the IRD oil I removed and the drain plug for the IRD. Theres clearly a lot of metallic particulates and it's a big worry

    Thanks Yodaman that's really helpful. I am already in the mindset that you make the best of a bad situation. Already I had planned a lot for my Larry. Including a new paint job.....That's why the thread is called Codename Snake :P I'v done the prop and VCU removal for now and boy is Larry...

    Already have wire brushes, waxoil and tetraseal but I'm not getting to sealing anything until all the work is done. Might be a bit counter productive haha. The discs are all good as are the pads. The disc guards are in a bad way but the whirring is so loud at 30mph that I suspect it's...

    Crankcase is very clean other than some oil that has spilled. Under further inspection it looks to be new and just not cleaned up. The crankcase has some quick steel putty on it but there's no apparent leaks from that area. It's definitely lower down and around the head gasket area. As luck...

    Alert from Center console every time I open the door

    We've done it!!! I found that there are three contacts on the battery terminal. The rear terminal looked fine on the face of things but when turning it over to look at the buttons I found a hairline crack. Re-soldered it and it's now working again Larry is saved!

    Alert from Center console every time I open the door

    Key will not go in the drivers door , it's like it's glued shut. It goes in and turns in Boot door but clearly the lock is broken as it doesn't do anything. I've tried holding the key in the turned position in hopes the window would roll down but no joy :'(

    Alert from Center console every time I open the door

    Thanks for the picture but I've tried it already with no success. As above, Nothing has worked. I'm at a complete loss now. Re-soldering the battery holder terminals didn't help I'm very sad

    Alert from Center console every time I open the door

    Replaces with Duracell one and now the key fob isn't working at all. Replaced the original battery and nothing, car door lock seems to be broken so I'm now locked out of the car and can't get in. I've tried everything and it's now become majorly frustrating. Only thing I can think of doing is...

    Alert from Center console every time I open the door

    Yeah it's a new battery. Wierder still I found my boot window was down just now and it wasn't last night. I now know the key fob can roll the window down if you hold the button (I didn't know the fob could do that) but I haven't held the button, nor did I last night, nor have I driven it...

    Alert from Center console every time I open the door

    Having a slight issue. I changed the battery in the fob today and now every time I unlock and open the door I get a 5 series beep from the dash panel. It's an annoyance and I'd like to find out how to stop it Any ideas? Tia

    Thanks for the info. Ive decided that to read more into VCU and IRD failures to make a decision about 2wd conversion.y landy. Has a constant whirring sound during driving that sounds a lot like a rusty seized brake disc kind of noise. I know it's frowned upon here but it's simply to save the...

    Haha thanks hippo, appreciate the words. I have already done a full oil change with 5w40 as specified, bled brakes and topped up with dot4 and replaced power steering fluid. Where is the apeture for the transmission fluid? It's a manual not an auto just so you know. Rear diff oil, that's an area...

    I fully believe it was previously an offroader. Addition of 5 nearly new road tyres, scruffy cosmetics, holes and wires in every place imaginable and a long range antenna on the back that's been shoddily fitted and previously snapped off. I want a semi decent road car that has the ability to...
